This is totally outrageous! I can't believe the ineptitude of our forces in Iraq! If there were any justice those responsible for the wounding of the Italian journalist shoud be made to answer for how they botched this assination attempt, given the awaiting ambush style of the Italian version of events...they should have been able to destroy that car and all its occupants, if that was the mission.

As far as what the Italians, or any other Euros, think I believe they have already folded their hands and are now watching the action from afar.

Zing!

Drunky pondered that one for a good 20 minutes though.

No Yeager, what I'm saying is there's no hidden agendas where soldiers assigned to checkpoint watches prevent vehicles from running their checkpoint, which is what this vehicle attempted to do. There was no agenda to assinate thewse people...and if there was they botched it, right?

Or do you believe there was an assination attempt and our soldiers knew exactly what they were doing?

Let me know Yeager. i'm dying to know if you think we deliberately targeted this Italian journalist for assination.

:rolleyes:

As has already been said, if the plan was to assasinate this chick, then there would be no more chick.

She's nuts.... or suffering from post traumatic holy-shiat-we're-all-going-to-die dissorder.

Reminds me of the botched initial rescue attempt of that hero convoy chick survivor from the olden days. Jessica something.

The doctors had a plan, snuck her into an ambulance, and secreted her away only to have their ambulance get shot to hell, forcing them to beat a hasty retreat back to the hospital.

Lets face it, there's alotta kids there who had no idea that joining the guard (this was a guard unit) would come to this. I'd be kinda jittery myself, and would probably swear up and down and sideways that the camel I just blew to kingdom come was not only speeding, but looking at me funny as well.

War is hell. Whaddyagonnado?

d'Oh!

I spelled it wrong too.

Maybe it's a subconscious type of thing for all of us 'assassinate' misspellers. Too much bellybutton in just one word.

Didn't mean to get your panties in a wad.

But you did mispell assassination.  Hence the a-s-s.

And as far as a public type apology...

I dont' disagree with your comments.  I'm sure the people at the checkpoint did what they needed to do.

I'm also sure that the Italian lady is very upset after her ordeal.

Maybe you can ask her to take you for a walk on the beach after your ordeal, you squealing pansy.

Now we can hope that some film of the incident turns up and one side or the other has to eat their crow publicly without salt.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
