Also the British Army have issued orders to the British troops to only return fire. The US troops have, to my knowledge, no such order.
That information was told to me by a serving Royal Marine Commando who has been stationed in Basra.

Im sure thats only partly true.
The brits most likely would have done the same thing, So would italians.
A car ramming at you is alot more dangerous than a guy with a gun.. I cant see them not being allowed to shoot a vehicle thats coming straight for them.
Daily these crazy fucks drive up in cars full of bombs. If i was at a checkpoint i would unload on any car that was going faster than walking pace..
I mean think about it. If you were out for a drive in iraq , would you simply drive past a checkpoint at "normal speed" ? I think not. I would be driving very slowly anywhere there was guns
