You typed in: colin powell my lai Which does in fact return 178,000 links to pages that have those WORDS but you should have searched for: "colin powell" "my lai" Which limits results to pages that actually have those PHRASES.

NCclimber 0 #159 February 12, 2007 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuote Any comment on your bogus claim of: "Well, it is a fact that in Gulf War I, 38% of British fatalities were killed by US forces." You have a very short memory. It has already been answered in this very thread. 24 British troops KIA, 9 by US forces. I'm just wondering why the other 23 soldiers who died in Gulf War I don't count as "British fatalities"? The "fact" you claimed was false. Being killed in a traffic accident in Kuwait is not KIA. 38% of the British KIA in GF1 were killed by US forces. Does THAT make you feel proud now? So those other 23 soldiers who died while serving in Iraq (or Kuwait) during the Gulf War I don't count as fatalities? ----------------------------------------------------------- QuoteThere is abundant evidence of an attempted Pentagon cover up about My Lai, in fact it's not even disputed by anyone except you. I never said anything of the sort. This is another one of your implied LIES!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- QuoteTry reading some history and find out who the players were. I provided a bunch of links - read them. What a load of crap. You provided a boatload of generic inform. How about providing a single link (preferably an actual quote), that directly addresses the claim you made? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
