Italy disputes U.S. shooting account
acbaylove:
Man honestly how can you pretend the truth being said by Americans in this situation? That's just a quick article written by a journalist who simply reported the first version of Americans about the incident. Think about it: if Bush apologized to Berlusconi and Italians, if U.S. Ambassador is from more than a hour with Berlusconi trying to explain him what happened.. and if Americans opened an investigation to understand what happened.. then it's not an easy situation. And that's the second time. Some months ago friendly-fire incident involving Italians, American soldiers in northern Iraq shot at a car carrying the Italian official heading up U.S. efforts to recover Iraq's looted antiquities. Pietro Cordone, the top Italian diplomat in Iraq, was unhurt, but his Iraqi translator was killed. Fucked up. Anyway that versione (300-400 rifles, execution) was said by Giuliana Sgrena's boyfriend live on tv. He was there.

Please post some mature shit or shut the fuck up. I'm totally pro-USA, and if you check my previous posts in this section you'll notice it. I'm not here to diss Americans or to speculate about it. But what happened cant be simply reduced to a "no means no". It was night, and it's a fact Americans shoots to everything that moves, in the night. Even animals. They've killed Americans too, before "us". Civils. Everybody that moves. But in this situation, it wasnt just "something". It was the whole Italian convoy with 3 cross country vehicles of Italian Army and 1 car with journalists. They shot at our vehicles! 300-400 rifles. One guy, our boss of secret investigation, got killed. Another one is hit and is risking to die. Another one got shot in the leg. And Giuliana Sgrena is under surgery cause she got hit in her left shoulder. Damn man!! They shot at the whole Italian convoy!!!!!!!!!!! How can you shot at a convoy of 3 cross country vehicles and a car with a big ITALIAN flag on the coffer. They simply shot cause it was dark, and they didnt see shit. But that's not a good reason to kill a "hero" and almost kill other 3 person. Expecially when Americans were co-operating with us in the mission to resque the journalist. No excuse. Somebody gotta pay for it.

It's an accident, man. A fucked up situation that was destined to go bad. Now people are dead, senseless violence with no answers.
I heard a good one the other day.
Somebody asks the word "Why?"
and they get "Y is a crooked letter than can never be made straight".
And that's the truth of it, right? There's no answer! I can't explain to you anythign that will help you at all with this Antonio. There's a big war going on in the middle east, like there's always been a big war going on somewhere, and some people who were only trying to help (the Italians) got killed, by some other people who thought they were helping (The Americans). It's such a fucked up situation, it's crooked and it can never be made straight. There's no answers, when you die you still won't understand what the fuck happened today.
