You have obviously decided unwaveringly about this war, the evil yanks and this set circumstances in a one side blame game looking for utopian perfection in a world afar from such. Good luck, Tally ho! Perhaps you can as well contemplate another interesting one side drama queen trite, did you know of the 131 UK personnel killed in Iraq, 32, or 32.65% died of accidence, and other flawed circumstance other than from direct Combat.
Likely, as well of the Other 131 allies who in total died in Iraq, 27 or 25.6% of them died of accidental and or otherwise flawed circumstances other than from direct combat.
Perhaps, the witch hunters should begin another inquisition as to who was perhaps merely human and or incompetent in those deaths as you malcontent as to this other tragic mistake in the deaths by friendly fire in another one legged assumption of supremacy afar from it.
Then again, there seems to be only this venue of a one legged flaw and malice in this pretense, eh comrade stroller...
This appears to be a robust removal and replacement of a previously expressed yet repeated postulation of a rebuttal nature albeit lacking evidence, structure or fortitude. Somewhere in the great ether that forms this electronic mode of communication and exchange I recall having to 'traduire' a similar (possibly cloned) idea and cannot help but remark that its location may have been more proximate to this current one than you may well be willing to dare imagine. Indeed, there appears to be but a single digit distinguishing the headline under which this one appears from its brother- let us hope that there is no element of fratricide leading to witch hunt there.
I intend to sermonise and extrapolate untruths from various texts of my choosing and do not be surprised if my bretheren post what they lovingly call 'twit links' and in numbers in the hope that I will join them in missing the point or simply become so wearied by their juvenile towing of a party line that is never to be questioned that has been imparted to them through self proclaimed experience or education (but is more likely evidence of neither).
Then again, to post this may just 'embolded' them, I should consider withdrawing. No, that would 'embolden' them so I must see this out to the bitter end. let's hope that my frequent use of the term 'embolden' will hide the fact that I am a farkwit!

The Idaho National Guard unit involved in the Blue on Blue has today apologised to the family of the dead British serviceman.This plus the circumstances of how he died is all the family ever wanted.The British MOD does not come out of this smelling of roses either.However the fact remains that if your unlucky enough to be in a combat zone with US forces you'd better make sure they are in front of you.
Nice to see that some form of apology has been forthcoming. Hopefully the inquest can conclude soon and Susan Hull can get on with the rest of her life knowing the truth behind her husband's death and that it may spark initiatives to prevent it happening to someone else.
The MoD has indeed come out of this very badly. More evidence that we act like the US's poodle at times and that they (the MoD) have got no better at looking after their own men. Prepare for major criticism of the MoD by the coroner.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/c...icle1350515.ece At least Blair has had to apologise to the family for the inexcusable delay in this inquest.
Have you heard that the coroner is to lose his contract from July? The government obviously expect the number of inquests being held to drop.
