I, for one, have never said we could not make a mistake.
I have pointed out that when we do we admit it.
This time Kimmitt has been adamant that there was not a wedding party, period. There is zero evidence to back up the wedding propaganda on this one. It all supports our military operation.
"The first time we run a car off the road and pump bullets into a pregnant Muslim women and her four daughters then I will become anti-war.
But not until then."
Well said, jocon!
It seems to me that the Associated Press is working for the enemy.
I would go into detail about the situation. I could not have said it any better than you; very well put.
Yes. propaganda.
I think I'm reading and listening to wwwway too much news. But, If I stop now, I won't know if this is true or false. I'm getting more jaded, minute by minute...
I don't follow what you mean about reading and listening to "too much news". I watch and read plenty and that's how I can sort fact from fiction. I'm making an informed evaluation here and I am quite confident I am correct.
They probably hired a DJ for karioke.
"A lot here" have been following this story for five solid days and aren't assuming a damn thing.
I'd swear our friend Scheherezade was in Afghanistan reporting for Reuters/AP when they "broke" the story of the "bombed wedding party" from about two years ago, but I could be wrong.
I meant that for the Blame America First crowd...not the people who trust the evidence we know fom Kimmitt.
I don't know why I bother with the "impeach Bush and Cheney" or "never trust anything we do" crowd!...somebody has to do it?
hehe
Go, Meg, Go!
...Waiting for answers that will un-jade me...
....;)
Heard this one?
Yeah. I believe that.
Probably a film from a wedding, but who knows when the film was taken. It could well have been a week before, a month before, who knows. Where did all the food go? Why do you need an ID making machine at a wedding? Why do you need 300 sets of bedding and 100 sets of Iraqi clothing all sealed up nice in packages? Why do you need all those false IDs at a wedding?
"Faramarzi" is an Iranian (Persian) name, which may explain much.
It's a common tactic, used before, and confirmed by Muslims sympathetic to the West, to have a "wedding couple complete with marriage license" to trot out in the event the "ceremony" gets raided. In this case, bombed.
Mistakes get made. It's war. The History Channel - Military Blunders in History reflects that. But we generally admit it when we've made a mistake.
There isn't one shred of evidence I've seen to date that makes me think this was a "real" wedding.
There was a soldier on Rush's show last week who said it was common for US forces to be fired upon from wedding parties and from funerals. He said they had to be on special alert around these 'celebrations'.
I just googled "Afghanistan wedding bombed" and found that we were accused of bombing 3 wedding parties in Afghanistan!...Gee, the military sure does have something against marriage...;)...or this is a common ruse by the bad guys.
A Muslim guy who is sympathetic to the west was on FNC last week; I've forgotten which day.
He said wedding ceremonies are used as cover for terrorist activities in the Middle East. He explained in great detail how some couple was found, forced to participate generally, and a marriage license on had should the gathering of terrorists get raided.
Only the committed lefties believe how many wedding parties we've "accidentally bombed". LOL
