FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COALITION FORCES RAID SUSPECTED FOREIGN FIGHTER SAFE HOUSE NEAR SYRIAN BORDER
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- At 3 a.m. May 19, Coalition forces conducted a military operation against a suspected foreign fighter safe house in the open desert, 85 km SW of Husaybah, and 25 km from the Syrian border.
During the operation, Coalition forces came under hostile fire and close air support was provided. Coalition forces on the ground recovered numerous weapons, 2 million Iraqi and Syrian dinar, foreign passports, and a SATCOM radio.
Just damn! My hubby and I sure didn't receive goodies like that at our wedding reception, LOL.

2 million new Iraqi Dinar would make a nice money tree at the reception (one =3.35 US dollar)...Syrian Pound isn't worth the paper it's printed on..(one = almost 2 US cents)
Us neither. Did get three crock pots, though. I don't even know how to cook crock.
wedding reception or "insurgent" meeting, either way I'm glad they got pounded.
I don't recall the Russians interrupting their artillery bombardment of Berlin during Adolf and Eva's nuptials.
What does Sky News have to say on the subject - they being the source of info worth discussing round these here parts.
We're always glad to hep consummate these little shindigs. You'all git together again soon, ya hear?
I thought all they got were goats and 35 pound bags of cous cous and sheets of tent canvas. My wife and I got a one week vacation/honeymoon on Cape Cod and 3 turquoise colored hand Mixmasters.
Hell, anyone who has a satcom radio (satellite telephone), raise your hand.
I don't see any hands out there, do you?
Yeah - I mean, it's for the convenience of the guests and all, but I can't help but think it a little bit mercenary for a bride to register with some high-end store. Why buy detonators and plastique from Sak's when you can get them much cheaper at Abu's House of Terror in downtown Baghdad?
Suggestion: Use the crock pots as chamber pots for those cold winter nights.
Sounds a bit like the wedding party "massacre" in Afghanistan, the "Baby Milk" factory in Baghdad or the "aspirin factory" that we bombed. It's absolutely amazing what the press will write about these incidents. The cartoon down below says it all...Put on the wedding dress and call CNN. Gotta love it!!
I'm getting married this summer. Suppose I oughta to book this place for my reception? Money tree and free fireworks!!!
If you put a roast in a crock pot and then put the whole thing in a microwave then the crock pot and the microwave cancel each other out and you can just go back to using all of the traditional cooking times in an old Betty Crocker cookbook circa 1970. Try it!
Absolutely brilliant depiction. Hope Mohammed wasn't wearing the wedding dress though. That would constitute abuse if we took any action like that.
