#1 Now that the Marine "Haditha charges" have been dropped I'll bet my girlfriend* that this is the making of another Pallywood production.

BTW how 'bout the Cordination & Unity display by the MSM kicked off by the Basra Op.
Also, Nice to see AP in on it from the start too.

AP Television News footage showed smoke rising from the home in Basra's Hananiyah neighborhood where the police said the civilians were killed. Pools of blood and a destroyed pickup truck were seen outside the home hit by the plane.

"The thunder of the aircraft frightened children," he said. "The sound smashed glasses, and the area was lighted by aircraft."

Iraqi police said that earlier in the day a U.S. warplane strafed a house and killed eight civilians, including two women and one child.

Their anger has led to a sharp increase in attacks against American troops in Shiite areas following months of relative calm after al-Sadr declared a unilateral cease-fire last August and recently extended it for six months.

/fyi, my girlfriend* If you want to be happy

#5 "Civilians" with medium machineguns, grenades and RPGs.

Feh. Idiots in the press.

Frank, Army is already claimed by Rantburg's Army of Steve (AoS) from back in 2003 or so.

Maybe you can be the Rantburg's Navy, Flotilla of Franks?
