I actually saw it happen on PMSNBC...the guy was reporting the dancing on the tanks and BBBbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp!! It was over in seconds. He was saying to his crew "i'm dying, I'm dying". Maybe word will get out about the disabled U.S. vehicles..stay away or die. |

Hit it again.
Go in and hit one every time these cockroaches start dancing on it. Then hit them again just to be sure. To bad this hasn't been done from the start, but nows a good a time as any. |

I just got done with Balzacs 9-11 thread. This made me feel ever so slightly better.
Burn in hell you camel fucking terrorist shitstains. Civilians? You are either with us or you are a terrorist. Someone buy that helicopter pilot a drink! |
|
If you guys notice, the 'aftermath' pics are taken before the Bradley is hit from the helicopters. The first pics in the thread show it burned out while the later ones seem to show it in much better shape. Maybe the injuries happened during the initial firefight.

It's not a sad sight.
I chipped in a few bucks towards that Bradley. Them pagan scums was at best looters- at worst, perpetrators. They won't be causing any more trouble. Good job aircrew!! Good job senior men for giving the go to shoot. I hope this is policy. |
|
Lumpy's right I'm so tired of seeing this shit.Why aren't the troops fighting this thing the way it's supposed to be fought. If an area is too dangerous for Armored Vehicles then it should be flattened first !!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
Fuck those asshole's they got what they deserved, hell it's there fault for being there anyway's.
|
|
Nice shooting. I dont feel very much sympathy for civilians who run out to celebrate Americans being injured.
|
|
Like to buy those pilots a beer. It wont be long before some lib will be screaming how the pilots somehow enjoyed opening up on the crowd. Wrong bucko, they have a job to do, and they did it - pure and simple.
Watch, it'll be the same libs who say children in America shouldnt touch guns.....but at the same time wouldnt dare say Muslim children shouldnt play around targets. |
|
Reporters from foreign news services are often called ahead of time before a patrol is hit by an IED, ambush or attack... so they can get the news coverage they want. |
|
|
fuck them, they would've been the same turds dragging one of ours through the streets cheering. that's what they were hoping for when they approached a military vehicle for in the first place.
now they can drag their own ass home through the streets. |

At least 37 people were killed in Baghdad alone. Many of them died when a U.S. helicopter fired on a disabled U.S. Bradley fighting vehicle as Iraqis swarmed around it, cheering, throwing stones and waving the black and yellow sunburst banner of Iraq's most-feared terror organization. |

How many times do I have to tell you guys to look at a map and try to think beyond tomorrow? CW |

Next time replace the helicopter gunship with a Ac-130 gunship. This happens enough they will learn that you do not celebrate death. These people are nothing more than bullies preying upon the weak. They are strong until the jock (friend of the bullied kid) kicks their butt.

If you want to carry the flag of our enemy, expect to die like our enemy. |

The Arab press and TV is reporting this as a 'massacre' of innocent bystanders and the western Liberals are joining in with 'demands' to know how all these 'innocent' civilian bystanders were killed.
They claim, despite the news footage, that the Helos carried out 3 straffing runs on the street and killed people more than 60 yards from the Bradley… Like I keep saying, you cannot convert these people they believe we are inherently evil and little more than ignorant savages…… so I say we get the blame anyway so let the guys fight for real and make them fear us.

Have they reported the Russian school siege yet? |

"We will make no distinction between terrorists, and those who support them."

After all, they were waving a terrorist flag. |

No weapons -> Not a military target, the news is TECHNICALLY right on that one. However, in this case, they were standing on a military target -> casualty of war... Helicopters are not quiet, and when the thing showed up & lined up on that Bradley, they should have started running... Unlike some of you, I don't revel in seeing folks blown up just because they were demonstrating against us, but the Bradley had to be destroyed to prevent capture of weapons or technology... Now, if we start blasting peaceful demonstrations just because we don't agree with them, then we do get into the point of losing the war (freedom of speech, fredom of protest, just only if you say/protest what we want you to??)... We are not an imperial power over there, but if we start acting like one then we will be viewed as one by the entire country, not just the badguys.... Once again, we're back to this: Either you're fore the 'sensitive' mission, or you should be calling for a withdrawal. There is no other purpose to US troops being in Iraq, and never will be. The Govt hasn't bought your world-wide-holy-war... Obviously, I don't either.... And before someone brihgs it up, if they were beating an American with pipes, then by all means light 'em up... I disagree dave, they may or may not have been combatants, and they may or may not have been getting weaons from that bradley, But anyone demonstrating and waving a black flack of terrorism at the site of Americans under attack can piss off in my mind. Kids, women, whatever. If you are dancing around cheering on a burning American vehicle, you definately aren't WITH us, you must be AGAINST us. So light 'em up! CrashBurnRepeat |

No all someone has to show is hostile intent, they don't have to have a weapon. |
|
|
|
In addition to just the dying part....think of the wounded....their BELLS must be RINGING big time....
Head all in a cloud going "what in the fuck was that????" Yes, a hard lesson indeed. |
|
Peaceful demonstrations against US policy is fine as long as the demonstrators are unarmed. Armed demonstrators = enemy. People that celebrate an attack on coaltion vehicles = enemy. We need to be lighting them up at every opportunity and it will put an end to this crap. |

love them pixwe captured there dictator that they bitched about now there throwing shit like the barbarians they are Fuckem! and Fuckem Harder!

Hey does everyone remember WWII and pearl harbor?? And how the fight was against hypocritical, crazy, FANATICAL japs?? Does everyone remeber how it all ended, specifically in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It's my personal thought that the only way to win a war against plain clothed fanatical fucks that first off have no logical reasoning, and second off really don't give a flying fuck if they die, is going to be with something dramatic like that of WWII. Truman for many years was questioned for his actions, but since then we haven't heard a peep from the japs or the germans, or the fascist italians. Maybe it's time to step-up to bat with the big leagues, and stop playing t-ball. I'm just sick and tired of hearing about instances where americans are dying for no apparent reason...

I don't like seeing people injured or killed. However there are certain situations, like being in a war zone, that make that understandable and justified.
I could list a bunch of reasons why I think it was justified. But, the thing that strikes me, is there is far more coverage of these Iraqi's getting killed, than is customary when US military personnel are killed. |
|
Hey, if nothing else they were all jay-walking. Punishment must be administered.
|
|
I'm sorry, I just don't see the other 34 "victims" at this scene. I assume the guy who was on top was wasted but I don't see him. I want to see more. Stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap!
|
|
this is serious proof of the evil that lingers in the hearts of most arfcomers. ahh! the beautiful sight of dead iraqi nationaists.
|
|
Yep, just like the killing of Japanese and German nationalist in the 2nd World War was a good thing, the more of them dead the less of our guys. I may be a strange one, but it doesn't bother me one bit if killing hundreds or thousands of them are necessary to keep one American alive. |

this is the part where the tactical genius comes in and tells us how the islamists are not anything like the japanese, blah blah blah. I may be a strange one, but it doesn't bother me one bit if killing hundreds or thousands of them are necessary to keep one American alive. i'm with you. |

How the hell did his hat stay on? |
|
|
I'm all for the "press" getting the story but it is truly telling to me that they will let a man bleed to death to get that story. I'm sorry, that shows their true priorities and it has nothing to do with the truth.
If I'm ever injured and some guy does nothing but snap photos while I suffer, and if I survive, I will find him and feed him his sack with no salt, NO SALT!! |
|
How people forget. There bombings and shootings after WWII. Ask the GIs and Russians how many troops were killed AFTER the war. Only thing you can do is kill anything associated with the bad guys. If youre innocent or smart, you would think they would stay out of those situations. They have got to run out of bad guys sooner or later.

They are accustomed to loosing 10,000's, this is nothing to them. |
|
|
That's a CIA "Magic Hat."
They were issued to SOF operators heading into Cambodia. I guess some were placed in the Goodwill bin. |

Check! |

I saw this on MSNBC...all 6 service members were wounded, but okay, and were evacuated already.
Glad they did that.....serves them right. Anyone see the video? The arabic reporter is just about to end its story, when the missile hits. Too bad I don't have the video.....anyone else does?[ quote]Quoted: Surge of Baghdad Violence Leaves 60 Dead By ROBERT H. REID BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents hammered central Baghdad on Sunday with one of their most intense mortar and rocket barrages ever in the heart of the capital, heralding a day of violence that killed nearly 60 people nationwide as security appeared to spiral out of control. At least 37 people were killed in Baghdad alone. Many of them died when a U.S. helicopter fired on a disabled U.S. Bradley fighting vehicle as Iraqis swarmed around it, cheering, throwing stones and waving the black and yellow sunburst banner of Iraq's most-feared terror organization. Hope the guys from the Bradley are ok,but NICE SHOOTING! I am getting a lot of pleasure thinking about this. Not to pc I guess |
