Journalists attacked..

..."What excuse did you give for them bombing our Canadians? "...

That was un-called for; the pilots are hotdogs and have been found guilty. There is a big difference between air threats and being actually hit by mortar fire on the ground, therefore no comparison can be made here.

..."Anyone who has followed the war knew that the Palestinian hotel was full of journalists and should know they would be using binoculars."...

I hate to break it to you, but M1A1 tanks and Bradley vehicles don't come standard with televisions tuned to the CBC... ;)

..."Again, I will note that the British Troops do not seem to makes as many mistakes."...

Three notes there;
First, the U.S. has a multiple of the British troops.

Second Basra is considerably smaller then Baghdad, thus less difficult to handle.

Third, the republican guards and Saddam's dressed in black crack troops were stationed in Baghdad.
