And laughing when the armored vehicle runs over a dead body???

Telling me to not to comment. You sir, are an idiot.

 

It's quite apparent the length of coverup, and the denial of how the children got injured by our military shows arrogance of America. It would have been a lot better to say "Hey we did it, it was a mistake, we apologize" but instead of taking Toyota's route, they decided to not let information on how 2 photographers were dead, tried to bury the information until Reuters exercised the Freedom of Information Act.

It's great to hear after reinvestigation, the shooting was deemed legitimate. I guess the government always covers stuff up and deems it OK to blow up a van trying to evacuate wounded personnel. I'm sure there was explicit show of weapons in the van and on the dead bodies.

IF THERE WAS ANY APPARENT WEAPONRY, I guarantee the military would have said so a lot sooner, the fact it took this long to say it means they didn't have any hard facts to show why they killed more innocent people.

It's OK, Obama said we're getting out... a year ago. Bahaha!

 

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck. Would you have been happier if rather than "declaring war" I typed "militarily invaded a sovereign country based upon manufactured evidence?" I agree that both political parties have blame in this very expensive and bloody "war-or-whateveryouwannacallit".

 

No, did you miss the part where those guys are fiending to kill someone? and then open up on am ambulance. Regardless what could have been, they are journalists, on top of this it is obvious to the apache gunner they aren't not threats, yet they are still anxious to kill them. Thats disgusting, but expected given the x-con to armed forces rate. Sadly a lot of our guys are people who were to dangerous even for our own society.


If they already had troops so close on the ground, the apache can cover them up top, and has insane fire power. As you saw. I don't think it was needed to open up on some guys who clearly didn't have weapons, especially when there are ground troops so close. Frankly its a waste of goddamn tax payer money, coulda had the ground troops ax those hodgies.


Honestly guy I agreed it's a touchy situation, but your post sounds retard and full of some of the **** loyalism. Frankly you give people a good reason to hate america, and a good reason for terrorist to take up the fight.

I guess you don't understand things like this just make it more dangerous for the US citizens in the future.

 

This looks like a horrible incident.

So I'm unclear... were there any weapons at all? I kn the cameras looked like RPGs/AK47s, but were there also weapons?

Once the pilots were cleared to open up, they were in attack mode and unfortunately the van entering the area extended the "engagement". This is a perfect storm of things going wrong.

The real issue is we shouldn't be in Iraq in the first place.
