Sadly a policy of blue on blue is unavoidable with these people.
There was a joke doing the rounds at the time about a new weapon in the Iraqi armoury. It could be fired from a mortar tube, and would deploy a parachute to slow descent as it approached the target. Three robot arms would then spring out and paint a Union Jack[1] on the top of the target.
The USAF couldn't miss...
