Checkpoint failed to give warning shots?

The complete opposite has been widely reported. Care to point to a source?

I don't live in Washington, so getting the Post is kind of difficult.

Do you have a link?

If they had stopped at the checkpoint they would have lived.

You don't need an account, they just want to know how old you are, where you live, and if you've had any anti-american thoughts in the past 2 years.

"Fire a warning shot," he ordered as the vehicle kept coming. Then, with increasing urgency, he told the platoon to shoot a 7.62mm machine-gun round into its radiator. "Stop [messing] around!" Johnson yelled into the company radio network when he still saw no action being taken. Finally, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Stop him, Red 1, stop him!"

That order was immediately followed by the loud reports of 25mm cannon fire from one or more of the platoon's Bradleys. About half a dozen shots were heard in all.

"Cease fire!" Johnson yelled over the radio. Then, as he peered into his binoculars from the intersection on Highway 9, he roared at the platoon leader, "You just [expletive] killed a family because you didn't fire a warning shot soon enough!"

So..the US Army are a bunch of murders ehh? Why dont you go **** yourself you tool. Its gonna be so interesting to see just how badly the Iraqi government has abused its people after this war. Maybe then we can sit back a enjoy the can of "eat sh(*" you'll be enjoying you salamander.

Once again...to display my typical American non european sense of style, **** you.

Oh and has it every occured to you why this guy ran a check point w/a VAN full of kids? I quess it couldnt be a setup ehhh? Saddams boys would NEVER do something like that right?

I guess given the proclaimed & all ready practiced suicide car bombing tactics of Iraq, part of this tradegy rest on the shoulders of Iraq. If they had never done the car bombing in the first place & stated more of it was coming, this never would have happened. Given there is a war going on, if a car fails to stop at a check point, they deserve to be shot, regardless of who is driving.
