#1 "they prefer to call in American A-10 Tankbusters"

Something strange, in your neighbourhood
Who you going to call?
Muhammadbusters!
Something Weird and it don't look good
Who you going to call
Muhammadbusters!

I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.
I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.

You seeing things running through your head
Who you going to call?
Muhammadbusters!
An invisible man running through your head
Who you going to call?
Muhammadbusters!

I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.
I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.

Who you going to call
Muhammadbusters!

If your all alone,
Pick up the phone and call
Muhammadbusters!

I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.
I hear it likes the girls.
I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Who you going to call?
Muhammadbusters!
You have Muhammad, freaky Muhammads.
You'd better call,
Muhammadbusters!

Let me tell you,
Bustin' makes feel good

I ain't afraid of no Muhammad.
I ain't afraid of no Muhammad

Don't get caught alone, oh no
Muhammadbusters!
When it comes through your door,
Unless you just want some more,
I'd think you'd better call,
Muhammadbusters!

Who you going to call?
Muhammadbusters!

#3 Heh, Joe. :->

"provide an urgent statement"

And say what? That the people there on the scene are wrong? There's no reason a Harrier can't pinpoint who's who and deliver fire on the bad guys. If a Warthog can do it, then the Harrier certainly can. The problem must be with the pilots - the hardware's already capable.

And armed forces are for fighting guys, you know, that violence stuff. The politicians should be asking the troops what's what, not running around trying to put band-aids on issues by refuting those who know and making pointless statements. If some RAF pilots are shirking, then rotate the bad ones out and discharge them. There are plenty of good guys who will step forward.

#5 Ya, nothing like two countries in a nite, life rock.

as far as Harrier pilots go they are just as good as the rest. Just because one pilot made a mistake under fire does not mean they are all bad. This is just politics and now some pilots are going to be smeared in the name of partisanship.

#6 Quit your F**king sniveling Major Loden, and get your head back in the fight!!! You always have to consider close air support as a convenience, and if you dont mark/call your targets effectively (Harrier pilot 'couldn't identify the target')sh*t happens..
