対イラク武力行使

ライターさん、さすが元軍人ですね。

ペンタゴンが貴方とまったく同じような回答をしていいますよ。しかし、Channel 4はペンタゴンの回答を一蹴しています。

まず、ペンタゴンの正式回答から：

"As the F-16 aimed on the building, the pilot saw a group of people come running out of the building, around the corner, and towards the Marine unit under fire. When the pilot queried about the group, the JTAC cleared him to engage...those were the people shooting at the Marines"

Lt Col Steven Boylan, Director, Combined Press Information Center, Baghdad

これに対するChannel 4の見解：

That's what happened, he says, to the best of our knowledge. The trouble is, the available evidence doesn’t show this.

When you look at the video, the pilot didn’t see people coming out of the building.

He couldn't have done - his monitor only shows a crowd emerging onto the main road from a side street.
