1. I'm not laughing

I watched the video.

It was a tragic mistake....the kind that sometimes happens in war...


I grieve for the loss of life and injuries to the British troops

I grieve for the two pilots who were clearly rattled, sickened and probably forever marred by this horrible tragedy.

It's not IMHO grounds for a cartoon.

[Nostradammit]

2. So the two pilots weren't rattled by their participation in war crimes

against the Iraqi people, but kill a few Brits, and OH!

The agony!

Disgusting.


Steve Bell has been righteously indignant over this travesty from the beginning, he has every right and reason to draw this.

3. Indeed he has.

Part of a free press, you see.

4. Take a good look.

This is what Freedom of Speech looks like.

7. It's not about the pilots - it's about the Chimp being so stupid

that he is responsible for the deaths of troops and civilians. The Chimp is upside down and killing everything in his path.

That is my read...

5. That's not cool.

It was a tragic mistake. The troops responsible for shooting the British plane were immediately horrified when they realized what they had done.

8. Dear Karenina: "fuck you" n/t
