Experts with a newscaster on CNN 24th March
Nicked from http://www.scoopfish.net, don't know if it's true or not.3 American experts including a former 2-star general from delta force, 1 ex SAS and the network's anchor:
Footage of Iraqis giving themselves up.
Anchor: We have no verification as of yet if they are British or American troops taking these POW's
American 1: Only Americans wear boots like that, they're American
American 2: I agree, and they appear to have American camouflage jackets.
American 3 (delta force): I'm not so sure, there's not enough up-close detail to tell 100%, we'd need some close images to tell make of boots and jackets and maybe the shape of their Kevlar headgear.
Ex SAS man: Call yourselves experts? Since when did US forces use an SA80 as a standard issue rifle? Their DPM's can be bought as can boots so you're chasing rainbows if you want to identify them from their clothes.
Anchor: I think you're right.
Ex SAS man: Course I'm bloody right. Any one with half a brain and basic military training worth their salt should be able to identify a British soldier by his rifle. Not to mention the fact they're covering all points properly, not shouting "woo yeah" randomly, and haven't raised a flag in direct contravention with orders.
At this point 1 of the yanks walks off stage tearing his mic off.
Anchor: I think we can safely say the soldiers on your screen are British. Now for these messages
