This makes no sense. Unless the helo crew mistook civilians or “rebels” for pro-Daffy forces?

Having heard the non partisan reports out of Egypt, I’m sure you can trust the reporters opinion.

The local Libyans who were injured in the rescue mission are currently in hospital.

Does this mean Obama will face charges of War Crimes in The Hague?

What were the villagers doing that caused the Americans to fire on them? Running toward the helicopter, shouting and gesticulating? (Of course, they may have been hoping the Americans would let them on board and fly them out of Libya.)

Guess these “rebels” are not so pro-western after all.

Gauging the reaction of locals in the area, she said: "the local Libyans do not seem resentful, they still want the coalition forces to keep operating."

In fact, they seemed proud of being the first collateral damage in the historic US president's first war.

When we shoot villagers it OK, when Quadaffi shoots villagers a no-fly zone is needed.

In another war Rudyard Kipling said,

“When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s
plain
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll on your rifle and blow out your brains
And go to your Gawd like a soldier.”

I would probably shot also, provided they were not bringing flowers.

6 more dead Libyans saved or created by Obama! HOPEY! CHANGEY!!

So, using the standards set by the liberal left for Bush, Obama MUST be arrested, and brought up on War Crimes charges in the Hague, right?

Or do these people not consider it “Imperialist FAscism” when Democrats kill??

The hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Maybe first confirmed, but not the first casualties. That fried tank crew from the first day would be ahead of them.

On the news every Libyan I have seen is an angry male shooting a gun in the air. How does one tell the difference between friend and foe?
