Hercules craft unexpectedly brought down


The British Military released a report last week that the Hercules plane which crashed on 30 January was indeed shot down.

"Despite the brave efforts of the experienced crew to counter this unexpected and catastrophic event, the aircraft crashed with the tragic loss of ten lives; the crash was not survivable."

Unexpected? Were you on a picnic in South Downs?

Catastrophic? As in Biblical?

Will someone tell the hash-pipe limeys they are in an occupied country and that the typical response of an occupied peoples is to resist, punch, shove, maim and kill the occupier till he has exited.

The statement then says:
"The Board found that the aircraft was flying on a routine mission at low level in a hostile operational environment in Iraq and the crew did all they could in planning the mission to minimise the risks of attack."

And why is an envrionment hostile, wot?

Unbelievable. It mimic's Bush's tired rhetoric that there are good stories in Iraq. Yeah, send your daughters to report on 'em, Double-ya.

Oh, speaking of rosy and satin-lace stories from Iraq. Bush also told the world that there was economic progress in Iraq. Uh, not for Iraqis, there ain't.

"The general integrity of Iraqi oil infrastructure appears to us to be heading backwards rather than forwards," London-based Barclay's Capital said in a report issued Thursday.

And what's worse, the production levels are less than in Saddam's time.

One thousand days since the invasion and things are really rosy.

Everyone should get an invasion for Christmas. I think it's the brotherly thing to do, don't you?

Speaking of holiday cheer, did you hear the one about US military corpses being shipped to their families as "freight"?

Yep, that's how much they care for the "sacrifice".

Talk to John and Stacey Holley about that one.
