So America drops a bomb.
On Americans, Kurds and John Simpson.

Two bombing, several in combat, many more supporting.

The war isn't *just* about the bombing.

Three, although I don't think the Australians have actually taken part in any bombing.

Nice to see some sanity, for a minute I thought you were going to completely agree.

No, it's definitely a coalition.

I agree with FM though, to a degree. It only takes one Iraqi fighter to stand in front of that hotel and fire an RPG, and all hell will come down on that building.

It isn't a coalition. It's a duo. Possibly a tag-team.

If I were driving a tank and started taking bullets I'd just pull the trigger and hope I hit the Daily Mail contingent as well as the sniper.

On a less serious note, the reporters are sitting right in the middle of a warzone, they must have known that if they're going to report on a war on location that their lives are going to be at risk.

Question: Do we really 'need' all those reporters there, do they provide us with a valuable service, or are they risking their lives to satisfy ratings?

And now they've fired a tank round at the Palestine Hotel, where the journalists are staying.

Their guy at Central Command said "Coalition forces received fire from the lobby of that hotel, and returned fire."


Two things:

1. If they received fire from the lobby - why did they return fire at the 14th floor?

2. Why is it that, whenever they achieve something, it's "US forces have..." - as in "US troops have seized 2 of Saddam's palaces". Yet when they c***-up, like shooting a hotel full of reporters, it suddenly becomes "Coalition forces have..."

Saw a group of American soilders firing a TOW or someother shoulder rocket at a building.

Hits, and they all go

'YAHOO! YEAH!'

Ride 'em cowboy! Or maybe that was the A-10 pilot.....

Lol! :-)

As for the missile friendly fire, I'm not really surprised, after seeing some of the footage, a lot of the American's seem very hyped up, they just seem to shoot anything.
