So, we attacked them because of their news coverage? Well, it's a good thing for them that we don't have bombs big enough to take the place out then. Clearly all we could afford was the one bomb, and if they could still be using the facilities moments later then it wasn't very powerful. Or maybe it was powerful but due to our archaic targeting systems didn't make a good hit. It's a shame we are so poor and underequipt.
Jokes aside, perhaps you've heard of the Iraqi use of civilian dress to attack US soldiers? What was the circumstance of the van being fired upon? Your damn right if a van pulled up in front of me and I didn't know who was about to pop out I'd perforate the shit out of it. I can easily see that scenario, soldiers on an empty street van drives up, perhaps a little too quickly, and bang, you have bodies.
