It's happening again!

I have a personal interest, because,in WWII, my father fought in Norway, Greece, Crete and North Africa in some of the bitterest battles of that war, and was only wounded once, by a badly aimed bomb dropped by an American aircraft on the slopes of Monte Cassino.

Now today we hear that (a) a British Tornado fighter bomber has been brought down and its crew killed by a US Patriot missile (b) a respected and "careful" UK ITV News Reporter has been killed by fire from US troops (c) US bombs have fallen in Iran and Turkey.

I'm sorry, but it is sod all use having "smart" weapons if they are deployed stupidly, and it is not only the President of the US whose judgement and knowledge of geography is suspect. Are we supposed to believe it when we are told that only Iraqi government and military sites are being targeted?
