America bombs its own convoy in Iraq Increase Your PM Length

(If this has been posted before, mods please feel free to close it)

BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson has been wounded in a bomb attack by a US plane on a US convoy carrying Kurdish civilians. At least 10 people are said to have been killed and the event was described as a 'scene from Hell' by Simpson, who reported directly from the scene.

More Canadians were killed by Americans in Afghanistan than by the Afghanis.

More Brits were killed by the Americans during Gulf War I than by the Iraqis.

In fact, I think Americans have killed and injured more Americans in the current war than the Iraqis have. Is anyone keeping score ?

Last week Rumsfeld wanted to set up a provisional Free Iraqi government in the southern part of the country. For once, his idiocy was vetoed.

Didn't notice that. I just opened the thread five minutes ago. Anyway, what is that comment supposed to mean? A simple attempt at trolling to start some flame war, or some racist comment about the superiority of Americans?

Exactly. More Americans were killed last year by gun murders from other Americans than in more than 3 September 11ths. Yet "Gun Control" is deemed as unAmerican.

I've spoken to veterans of WW2, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars and all of them (NZers, Aussies, Brits) told me that they were often as scared of the Americans as the enemy. In their words, "those guys would shoot at anything as soon as they saw it."

What is wrong here? Do the US armed forces have poor weapon release protocols or something? I mean, the Brits haven't been machine gunning civilian vehicles at checkpoints as far as I know.

I think trigger happy is more like it.

In Vietnam Australian patrols would actually hide when US forces went by.
