Someone said the raghead that fragged his commander did it in the fog of war.

Many things get blamed on the confusion from fog of war, but this incident truly was.

I pray for the best.

I heard a report on Fox or CNN, can't remember which - I'm flipping all over the place - that the Tornado's IFF was inoperative. Can anybody confirm that?

Someone on FOX suggested that the RAF's plane may not have been emitting the signal that it was friendly aircraft-- a malfunction, possibly. The retired colonel said that that particular airspace was extremely busy between our aircraft, Brit aircraft, our missiles, and Iraqi missiles.

Our deepest regrets. You know that this was the furthest thing from our intentions.
