Could this help to explain the "mistaken" "intelligence" re WMD in Iraq? There seems to be a distinct lack of the ability in distinguishing intelligence from knowledge.

(hint, if you hover the cursor over the images, many of the answers are revealed. Don't tell Sarge. )


However... are they cleverer than I thought?


Just noticed that the Q1 pic reveals "SA-80_rifle_stripped_1996.jpg", but this is not one of the proffered answers. Perhaps I am just too thick to be a squady!


1. Can you identity this weapon, commonly used by the British Army?

the image may be less stupid that you think. When i was in the ATC (RAF cadets) our rifle of choice was the L81- essentially a single shot duplicate of the SA-80 and aesthetically, almost identical.

Wether or not they've manufactured successive models of the L81 to which the above answers could pertain to, i don't know.
