Am not sure where exactly is the below sign carried, or where it might be posted.

It states: 'Please, A Very Serious Warning - We are authorized to fire on any vehicle that approaches the convoy less than 50 meters'

If placed on a moving Humvee, then you must be able to read it from 50 meters afar, assuming that the gunner on a fast moving Humvee can himself measure accurately the distance of objects moving towards him at a distance of 50 meters, and not being at 55 meters, for yet another easily discarded statistic in the horrifically ignored "collateral damage" carnage ( http://abutamam.blogspot.com/2005/04/horrifically-ignored-co
llateral-damage.html ).

Sovereignty is < http://www.iraqpatrol.com/php/index.php?s=a4846cac3cb33f4d89
cd32640a8e138c&showtopic=9116 > : There is a 50 meters distance between you
and death every time you leave your home in your own country.



Perhaps this sign is a response to this incident, captured on video < http://www.oxfordantiwar.org.uk/documents/MI.rmvb >, which occured in Al-Mashahda, near Hawijah on April 8, 2005. Note the white car interjecting itself in the middle of the American convoy.
The U.S. Department of Defense reported the death of only one soldier in that area for that day < http://icasualties.org/oif/prdDetails.aspx?hndRef=4-2005 > , would you believe.

For those that have requested a source on Resistance video clips, please refer to the Oxford AntiWar site < http://www.oxfordantiwar.org.uk/ >, from where the above video is referenced.

Also, the set of six Rafidan video clips and documents on 'businessman' Stofell, are now complete. Kindly refer to The Demise of CIA Shadow Director in Iraq posted on April 2, 2005: http://abutamam.blogspot.com/2005/04/demise-of-cia-shadow-di
