It is a 17 minute video taken from a helicopter gunship.
A group of people are walking down a road in a town in Iraq. Two are carrying something - shoulder bags? (They are journalists carrying cameras.)
The gunship decides they are carrying guns.
When the photographer points a device (his camera) at the gunship from round a corner, the crew decide it is a RPG firing on them.
So they circle round and shoot the 8 people at the corner.
At about 9 minutes 30 seconds some people turn up in a van and see the sole survivor trying to get up. They pick him up and put him in the van. The crew decide they are clearly gathering the bodies and weapons. (They could also be Good Samaritans taking a wounded man to hospital.)
The helicopter crew shoot them too.
The two men with cameras were Reuters staff. Reuters have been trying to find the truth since they were shot.
The van contained two children.
I watched it with the sound off; there may be commentary.
(Would it have killed you to write a précis, Paddy?)You know what you wanna do with that right, you wanna put a bangin' donk on it!
Put a donk on it! -
I was just going to post "not wasting my time without an explanation" and then you gave one and saved me wasting my time.
Why is it so important all members of CUK must watch this Paddy? I mean have you any idea how much 17 minutes billable time per member adds up to?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

Ah well, sh!t happens. For a start if they hadn't been there it wouldn't have happened, secondly, let God sort 'em out.
If you're in a war zone, war happens. End of.Comment

For what reason?Originally posted by Paddy View Post
To demand from your MP that they do something about this?
To march on the American embassy to demand that they do something about this?
To weep at the sheer stupidity and futility of it all?
Why? What do you want us to do with this info?"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Sarcastic remarks to a serious subject.Originally posted by cojak View Post
The US guy in the helicopter clearly enjoys killing and is looking for any excuse to do so.
There were clearly no weapons or “RPGs and AK47s”, nor were the passengers in the bus picking up weapons.
The bus that tried to pick up the wooded had children in it.
Initially the US denied they had killed anyone in the incident and blamed it on terrorists killing each other.
The US has been saying the Iraqis’ are running the show and they only engage in fire after a request by the Iraqis’. That is clearly untrue.
Does this type of action my the streets of London safer?

And for more war related shocking news:
- There were no WMD's
- There were definitely no WMD's that could be deployed in 90 mins
- Blair certainly DID agree to Iraqi regime change with the US, even if he won't admit it
- Going to war in the first place was illegal and should have waited for the UN resolution
- the US DID actually bomb the carp out of Laos and Cambodia even though their war was with Vietnam
- the USS Maine was not sunk in havanna by a spanish mine and so there was no need to start the Spanish American war.
more lies here
shocking, truly shocking and there was me thinking that governments always told the truth relating to war..The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment
