This is all Rumsfeld's fault.
He should know that nearly all Iraqi weddings include gifts of foreign passports, lavish amounts of Iraqi and Syrian dinars and the traditional Iraqi wedding gift: a SATCOM radio. It is no wonder we get such bad press in the Arab World (that includes the NYT, LAT, WP and the various Communist News Network and Communist Broadcasting System outlets) when we don't take the time to study the traditions and customs of the people who live in the countries that we illegally occupy.
We need to get rid of Rumsfeld and put Michael Moore or Kofi Annan in to run DOD. Until we do I can guarantee that we will continue to see the peace loving people of Iraq and their equally peace loving neighbors from Syria and Iran shot to pieces while trying to enjoy the simple pleasures of life like the tradional 3:00 AM Iraqi wedding celebration.
LOL....BUT,I actually see posts like that on other sites all the time-from people who are DEAD SERIOUS !!
