Oh, this must be the "wedding". Everyone knows you always have a wedding on Wednesday at 3 AM in the middle of the open desert.
I thought it was $2 million dollars in Iraqi and Syrian dinars.
The release says:
COALITION FORCES RAID SUSPECTED FOREIGN FIGHTER SAFE HOUSE NEAR SYRIAN BORDER
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- At 3 a.m. May 18, 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.
Honeymoon trip?
WHY does the world press IMMEDIATELY believe anything the Iraqi terrorist sympathizers report, and immediately doubt everything reported by allied forces?
Any house near the Syrian border is no longer a "safe house." We're making progress......
Because the Partisan Media is just as much the enemy as Al Quaida.
You can get access to IRIDIUM (SATCOM) systems from Russia, China, US, France companies, among others.
Invest in Iraq!
No. The wedding was elsewhere.
Different story.
Wrong. Same story, different press spin on it.
LOL....BUT,I actually see posts like that on other sites all the time-from people who are DEAD SERIOUS !!
By heaven you're right ! This is the same story. Incredible !
ps: I'll go with CENTCOM's version, thank you !
Why? Because they want to.
Really. It's that simple.
It's not just the press.Some here on Free Republic believed it as well.Just take a look at earlier posts regarding this subject.
You are very correct. Many are predisposed to viewing the U.S. and our military in a negative light.
Ah, I knew your panties would be in such a wrinkle that you'd be unable to suppress a reply. How happy you must be!!!
If you did not read the entire thread, particularly when I took fault for poor wording on post #1, particularly when I said I really had no idea what happened, particularly when I said that I HOPED that this exact scenario would be what really happened, then I don't know what else to say. Selective reading, selective comprehension. You're so tunneled visioned and fixated on wording that I had already expressed regret for (and clarified) repeatedly that you fail (or more likely refuse) to get the point. Nobody else seemed to still have a problem after my regret for the word "mistake", but you've stewed on it all day. Maybe you're just the type that loves to criticize and antagonize at every opportunity. Maybe more hugs while growing up would have helped. I have no clue, but please direct your angst elsewhere.
My "beloved liberal press". That's gold, and simply proves how truly clueless you are.
"During the operation,Coalition forces came under hostile fire,and close air support was provided.

You don't get alot of Hostile Enemy Fire at weddings these days...the end of an era.
