HP - that video reiterates what i was saying. we don't know all that happened there. the reporter states that there had been heavy fighting all day. that street was involved in the fighting. a bradley was knocked out. iraqi's were celebrating at the location of the disabled bradley. we don't know what happened in the 60 seconds, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes before that short segment of video.
if the people that were milling around the were part of the forces that disabled the bradley, it wouldn't make sense to try to scatter them before launching. we have no evidence to say they were or were not a part of the force that disabled the bradley. in the end, it still stands to reason, it doesn't pay to hang out in a street where a battle just rolled through checking out disabled american equipment.
