Wow! And you call this successful raid?

[joethurr]

Firefly... I wonder if you have the videos of the 'duringmath' as well.. not only the aftermath... when the siege actually erupts, with the tanks firing shells towards the school..

Takes "don't negotiate with terrorists" to a new level. They demolished that school knowing full well there were children
in there.

This is a full 6 days after the it ended, funny you don't see footage from the "CANTEEN" kitchen area where 300 hostages that survived the initial blast were tricked into going to by the terrorist Khodov, thinking a special forces member was telling them that was the way to safety. Once there they became hostages again, human shields, both terrorists and Russians mowed down dozens of women and children in the crossfire.

Worse yet, if we did see footage from that room there would be clear evidence that tanks fired on the school repeatedly without any regard that there were children inside. Despite dozens of shots into the school from the tanks. The terrorists stopped firing at one point and held up the children and told them to scream at your Army tell them you want to live, the Army just kept on firing the tanks. An Alpha team member was quoted as saying, they're just trying to make a hole for people to get out, that is if they survived the explosions from the tank shells.

Truly horrible, 380+ innocents died there, god knows how many terrorists got away, they only found 30 bodies, the government says there were only 32, but hostages counted upwards of 50 armed men. Botched rescue isn't the word for this, massive failure, nearly 40% mortality rate.

Do you honestly believe that? Russians don't fuck around and wait. They storm the shit out of the place resulting in some collateral damage. The SAS would have been holed up in the surroundings hoping that the committed terrorists would toss their plan and ultimately end up seeing the place go sky high with maximum casualties.
