From http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-1258832,00.html – Major Phil Smith, of the 1st Cavalry Division, said that the helicopter had been trying to destroy the burning vehicle. “The helicopter fired on the Bradley to destroy it after it has been hit earlier and it was on fire,” he said. “It was for the safety of the people around it.”
Yes. Because that makes ohso much sense. We’ll shoot at the Bradley to stop it possibly blowing up and, like, killing and injuring people and stuff.
I’d say it is total incompetence rather than anything else. But, either way, it’s no excuse.
