Going to piggy back on Jon’s post about here with this story about the local’s reaction to the American pilots who crashed in Libya.
Six Libyan villagers are recovering in hospital after being shot by American soldiers coming in to rescue the U.S. pilots whose plane crash-landed in a field.
The helicopter strafed the ground as it landed in a field outside Benghazi beside the downed U.S. Air Force F-15E Eagle which ran into trouble during bombing raid last night.
And a handful of locals who had come to greet the pilot were hit – among them a young boy who may have to have a leg amputated because of injuries caused by a bullet wound.
A second aviator – the F15’s weapons officer – was found in a field full of sheep and was greeted like a hero by locals and anti-Gaddafi rebels.
As the officer was surrounded by villagers, he held his arms out, calling ‘okay, okay’, according to the Evening Standard – but the grateful Libyans queued to thank him and give him juice.
Younis Amruni told the newspaper: ‘I hugged him and said “Don’t be scared, we are your friends”. We are so grateful to these men who are protecting the skies.’
Man I wish the UK would do more research before opening their yap.
‘Six Libyan villagers shot by American soldiers’
Um no, shot by US Marines.
‘The helicopter strafed the ground as it landed’
Um no, an Osprey VTL aircraft did.
…the F15’s weapons officer – was found in a field full of sheep…
Where else would you look for a weapons officer?
At the end of the conga line?

Fuck you all, bitches!! Libya is another illegal and immoral occupation!
Based on what? I know I am asking you to actuality support your poster slogan statements. So horrible.
Also I would like to know how you have eight screen names under the same IP address.
Well, Sybil (a movie from the 70’s involving a person with multiple personalities) there has at least stuck to a mantra, as ignorant and incorrect as it is. While I was not in favor, and still am not, of this excursion, what Sybil doesn’t understand is it isn’t illegal. The UN approved it, which makes it “legal”. Morality is another thing, yet I have this nagging feeling that most everyone on the left practices moral relativism, so any of them throwing out the “immoral” chant is worth a chuckle and that’s about it. So, with that in mind I will just say that Sybil is a dumbass.
Matthis is the face of the antiwar movement and he owns you all!
Must be doing something right if you start collecting trolls. Go on now, GIT! ‘fore I turn the hose on ya! GIT!
