Maybe he's just seen the picture of the Abrams that says "Today Baghdad, Tomorrow Paris." on the front. And I agree with Adler, it was most likely some Cold War style AT missile that ripped the Abrams turret off. I do have to say, the tank looks like it's been there quite a while!
I don't mean to step on your toes, Adler, but an effective AT mine can tear the turret off a tank. By exploding underneath the tank and penertrating the belly, it can ignite the rounds inside which causes a much larger explosion which would lift the turret clean off. Not that I know any Iraqi mines being as powerful as the most modern types.
