What the Pentagon didn't want us to hear...

"We're goin' to jail dude."

Cockpit video recording of US A-10 Tankbuster pilots, seconds after attacking a column of marked British light armoured vehicles near Basra, killing Lance Cororal Matty Hull.

Our ally of choice, eh?

With friends like these......

 

[Martlet]

to be fair to the pilots, looks like they queried whether there were any allies in the area - thought convoy looked a bit British - and were told no by ground control.

I wonder what would happen if British pilots killed some GI's in a "blue on blue"

I am sure there would not be the same level of secrecy associated with this incident then.

Just what you need - Beavis & Butthead in charge of a ten million dollar killing machine

yanks have always been difficult to understand especially when it comes to war and anything military. they are like babies with bazooka's worked with them on numerous occasions whilst in the R.N. they made and still make lots of silly mistakes.

It's just breaking on the BBC that the coroner who demanded the video be produced, and has now said it will be shown as it is in the public domain, is not having his contract renewed When will someone hold this f***ing corrupt bunch of bastards to account.

And I'm a natural labour voter.

Same here. The illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq and the disgusting aftermath has turned half the world against us. and rightly so. Every single Labour MP who failed to stop the war should be held accountable. And BLiar should be facing war crime charges.

No - disagree with you. The Labour MPs at the time were as misled as we all were. It's the apologists that with the benefit of hindsight still support the action that should be held accountable.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. The one million people marching through Central London with the 'Not In My Name' placards certainly knew the score. As did every Labour MP. The worst they did was abstain. The smart ones just never comment on the illegal and immoral invasion (give me a single soundbite Gordon Brown ever did on the thing).

The noble exception was Robin Cook (RIP) who did the decent thing and resigned from the government.

Try reading the facts more indepth

 

[Biscuit]

I don't know what to think really, I was in favour at first.. I was naive and foolish enough to think that the Government I voted for were tell me the truth.. I feel embarrased by being mislead..

The Yanks have a history of friendly fire going back to the first two world wars.They killed a bunch of Royal Fusiliers in the first golf war.Killed Canadians in Afganistian and more recently shot down one of our aircraft.Our boys are far more superior trainned then the yanks.For instance a Fusilier needs to know every single tank/aircraft,vehical etc used by the Yanks,NATO and of course us.The Yanks only know there own machines.Why do you think our vehicles have to have orange on top

What was the first golf war algie, the ryder cup or summitt

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

impossible job I woudl imagine, easy to snipe behind your warm office table with a cup of coffee in your hand

 

[Biscuit]

I think everyone should watch the video before commenting. The American pilots were unsure as they saw the orange tops, it was groundcontrol that said their were no troops in the area. Their reaction is one of shock. They are breaking down, totally gutted about killing a friendly. It's the fog of war thing, tho whole things is such a waste of life.

think mistakes happen,but the cover up after makes me f***ing
