The bride wears a Western-style white bridal dress and veil.

This I would like to see. The Bride probably has a mustache.

The dead included the cameraman, Yasser Shawkat Abdullah, hired to record the festivities, which ended Tuesday night before the planes struck.

Okay, so which is it, did the "festivities" end, or was there a wedding going on?

AP is crossing the line with their propaganda here

There is no line anymore. AP, AFP and Reuters are totally pathetic.

I must admit, that here are times when I believe that limits should be placed on the press. They have crossed the line of jouralism and are now the enemy.

It has become a joke that is not funny.

I recall after an Israeli raid into one of the Palestinian areas, they insisted children had been killed. They even put it on TV.

As the cameras were rolling one of the "dead children" sat up on the stretcher they were carrying him on. Another stretcher was tipped and the child fell on the ground and got back up on his own.

This is just so much Barbra Streisand.

OK, being Sunday I'm out of it...wait for what?

The name of the reporterette is Sheherezade. I did not make any comments implying anything about her name. I did note she is a piece of work being as she has been leading the "wedding party" parade.

Yes, one could make some guesses as to why she is inclined to take a certain side, but that's not my game. I just look to her in particular and see what she's doing and I want her to knock it off. Actually, I wish she could face charges at this point, so far over the line is she.

Did you read any of my posts directing you to a credible and reliable account of what happened?

Looks like they accidently refuted their own contention

Boo-hoo, if I believed any of this. I'll go with what the army guy said: bad people have celebrations too.

You need to get a clue, my friend. The anti-war side always has pictures and bodies and eyewitness reports, while the Bush Administration and its flunkies have only one tissue-thin layer of lies after another.

Conservatives need to jump this sinking ship of Moderate Republican incompetence. Dennis Hastert would make an excellent President, and he's only two impeachment trials away from becoming one!

Scheherezade Faramarzi is well known for the anti-american tone of her articles. See

and

Iraqis say US too forceful in Lynch rescue

as just a few Googled examples.

So you'll believe the reports of biased news agencies who trot out questionable "witnesses" without hesitation, but when our own military testifies that they've found hard evidence that the place was a safe area for the enemy and found no evidence of any kind of wedding, you'll dismiss that out of hand.

I normally don't like to be this impolite on FR, but you're a damn fool.

The press is serving as the propaganda arm of the enemy.

The only effective method is to counter it with our own propaganda and for the Administration to put the word out that AP and its cronies are working towards our defeat.

It's time for the GOP to stop complaining and start doing something about the problem.

The anti-war side doesn't have crap. They haven't shown us a damn thing that actually shows a US attack on anything, and they're "eyewitness reports" are over-the top drama plays.

i dont know if this has been mentioned in another thread on the topic but apparently these guys may be smugglers but more of the animal variety than the weapon variety.

theres a bunch of families that make money smuggling livestock into syria.

this might be why they appeared to be suspicious.

of course they could be weapons smugglers, im going to wait for the investigation.

If the video showed the planes attacking, I'd believe it.
