- U.S. warplanes struck a convoy of allied Kurdish fighters and U.S. Special Forces during a northern battle Sunday in one of the deadliest friendly fire attacks of the Iraqi war. At least 18 people were killed and more than 45 wounded, including senior Kurdish commanders, Kurdish officials said.

Who Likes Americans?
Details are emerging about the Iraqi informant who let U.S. Marines know that Pfc. Jessica Lynch was alive and being held at a hospital in Nasiriyah. Knight Ridder reports he went to the Marines "after he saw her Iraqi captor slap her twice as she lay wounded in a hospital":
"A person, no matter his nationality, is a human being," the tipster, a 32-year-old lawyer whose wife was a nurse at the hospital, said in an interview at Marines' headquarters, where he, his wife and daughter are being treated as heroes and guests of honor. . . .
After he saw Lynch slapped, the lawyer slipped into her room at the Saddam Hospital in Nasiriyah and told her, "Don't worry." Then he walked six miles to the nearest U.S. Marines and told them where she was.
He later returned to the hospital, at the request of U.S. commanders, to map the facility and count how many Saddam Hussein loyalists were there.
The man, whose first name is Mohammed, says: "Believe me, not only I, all the people of Iraq, not the people in the government, like Americans. They want to help the Americans, but they are all afraid."

It works on realplayer.
Jon Snow, a well known BBC reporter, was only yards away when the bomb struck.
There was goo on the camera, thats how close it was.
Apparently a US officer had called a strike in on a nearby tank, and the pilot wasted a chunk of allied convoy.
Probably thought it was a juicier target and didnt bother doing IFF.

Grant,
You, old buddy, are a bit of a racist. You seem to think that all of U.S. citizens are greedy, stupid, corrupt, murderers.
And I think I speak for many when I say that your constant bombardment of misdirected ideas has earned you the title of, "the man (or little girl) in this forum , most likely to get his ass kicked in a face-to-face meeting with other posters."
Yeah....freedom of speech ,blah, blah. You have the right to state your opinion. It's just that your opinions lead most of us to believe that you're most certainly a dumbass.
The images of US soldiers fill me with a great sense of pride. These men are the ones making great sacrifices themselves for the benefit of many. They are brave, noble, and compassionate. They leave wives, children, and parents at home to serve our country. When you call them murderers, you strike a nerve with many. I have never hit another person in my life, but I would surely like to bury my fist right between your eyes and plant a boot squarely up your ass.
Grantt, if your hate for Americans is that great, just please leave our forum. And hell, don't even bet on our sports. Maybe you could just wager on Finnish hockey or international soccer.
And you ask, "who does like Americans?". What you need to understand is that we really don't care if you, or the rest of the world likes us. We just tire of your insults. When you are right (like I am & the USA is right) it doesn't matter if the rest of the world likes you or agrees with you. What matters is that your actions are justified. We don't need the approval of douchebags like you.
