Here we go again.
Appears a Canadian diplomat vehicle was following behind a US convoy
when a gunner decided to shoot'em up.
US Army story is hand signals to slow were given and warning shots fired
before thay blasted the vehicle.
Canadian story is that the car was following as it had done hundreds of
times before when a trigger happy soldier put three rounds into the
car...(one through the windshield missing a passenger by an inch)
without any warning.
Who you gonna believe?
I believe you don't tailgate a Humvee in Iraq.
These guys have a reason to be jumpy. If I was a terrorist trying to
blow up an American vehicle I might paint a Canadian flag on my car
bomb or stick a couple flags on it.
Did the Canadians stop? Was anybody hurt? Then mission accomplished.
