#1 What a bullshit article. Not a single piece of evidence is presented to support the contention. Par for the course from the BBC.

#2 actually, the Marines at Pendleton learned urban warfare with tactics based largely on the IDF's experiences and recommendations, but yeah, the "news" article was weak-ass in facts

#3 I presume the two of you should be put down as voting that BBC stands for "Barely Believable Content?"

#4 I think you overestimate their standing with me ;-)

#5 Count me in, too, Zipster.
It's the Baghdad Broadcasting System or Al-Beebera.
Didn't you follow the whole Andrew Gilligan/David Kelly/"sexed up story" scandal where the BBC got outed for lying?
Oh, I forgot.
You Liberals love the BBC and will forgive it any sins of omission or commission.

US emulates Israeli tactics
Didn't read the article, but that works for me! Emulate away.

#9 None of you get it. You're supposed to read it as if it were "U.S. 'emulates' Nazi tactics"

#10 Tresho - you're probably right, but if so, the Baghdad Broadcasting Company doesn't know much about Nazis, do they?

#11 ... it was found that 11 per cent of respondents said Hitler did not exist and 9 per cent said Winston Churchill was fictional. A further 33 per cent believed Mussolini was not a real historical figure.

Maybe it's the BBC's staff which comprised that 11% they mention in the survey.
