Now repeat after me:

"We are your allies"

Mobius in the military **** waving llike this happens all the time and one of the things high ranking people do is pull this sort of **** against lower ranking people. I"ve had to stand at attention while getting reamed before but never more then 15 minutes.

Yeah and I bet you didn't cry like a baby to your superiors about it, but sucked it up and got on with your job - especially if you were the one in the wrong in the first place!

The worst thing is that this idiot is still serving in Iraq despite this incident...

Then there was that officer who went nutso and grenaded his fellow officers in Kuwait...

The US needs to review its training and personnel, because the British army can't keep having to bail out US forces by training them in urban guerilla warfare or get there heads blown off by trigger-happy cowboys like another bunch did in this war - did you know that large Union Jacks actually sold out during the Gulf War because British servicemen were buying them up to cover the tops of their vehicles to stop yet another rash of US friendly fire attacks on British troops???

Apparently Rumsfeld is considering something we have known all along - the fact that there aren't enough troops in Iraq. Guess that will further add to the huge Iraq war bill as billions more is spent...

Hopefully it will make attacks against US troops more difficult and those may lessen - on the other hand it may just be creating a 'target rich environment' in Al Qaeda Alley...

I thought it was pretty interesting despite its origin as a troll.

I could see that.

The US doesn't allow comical martinets like your friend the Col either Moby.
War hero from a speech he made?
What a guy.

Don't worry, he's been relieved and is under investigation...oh, you meant the REMF major, sorry.

The MUSLIM private is what your using as an example?
Your consistant though, distortions and fatual errors rife.

HA HA HA HA
Who trained whom?
Your tiny contingent did rather poorly underfire, and only had a soft time becuse the Brit zone was under the no fly zone region, so saddam was kept at bay.
Since then, the Brits have been losing people regularly.
See Moby, I read the news also.
Leave military accessments to people who know what they mean, but that would really defuse this lame-ass troll, now wouldn't it?

More people aern't need, he knows it and you know it, stop spinning.

So, all those nice terrorists showed up just cause the US overthrew Saddam., not like they were there beforehand, fighting a government that was secular and so-called anit Jihadi.

You used to be better at this, your losing your touch.

I have no idea of Mobius' reasons for posting this (trolling or otherwise), but its a legitimate subject. It may be a non story in the US but this is (and was) a pretty big deal (media coverage-wise) in this country

I COULD make a sarcastic comment about the no fly zone only being there to protect the Brits from the USA flyboys and and their toys, but I won't....

My reason is that I am incredibly annoyed that the UK was dragged into this stupid war under false pretences in the first place and the obligatory US on UK friendly fire incidents (we're talking about possibly 20 dead in two Gulf Wars now! ).

This incident really pissed me off at the time, but I decided to keep quiet about it at the time until the outcome, although all evidence suggested that this would be the outcome...

It is was a pathetic act by a spineless buffoon who is still in Iraq without getting punished by his own superiors for damaging relations with US allies!

[Kuciwalker]

UK was dragged? So you think your PM didn't support it?

[Whaleboy]

Well this clearly sucks!
