they say it was a wedding, but never who was getting married, if it was a wedding, then they would be saying poor mohammed and ishtar, they are dead now. no names though - no wedding.

Weddings traditionally held on Thursdays in Iraq to take advantage of Friday as a day of rest - raid took place on Tuesday night. It appears as though Scheherezade Faramarzi of the AP is a fraud. She knows what the traditional wedding day in Iraq is, and she refused to "report" it.
Perhaps someone can ferret out her email address, and ask her about it.

I would just like to know why we HAVE to allow these people
to keep their AK's for "celebrations", when the local police
here will come around and threaten to arrest me if I should
happen to shoot off some FIRECRACKERS to celebrate Independence
Day?

Why would anybody question the Iraqis? Didn't they establish their credibility when we bombed the baby milk factory?

"Shouldn't a society that reveres the middle ages be shooting longbows at weddings?"Longbows just don't have the same report, and there's rarely that flame thing when they're discharged after dark!

"I would just like to know why we HAVE to allow these people to keep their AK's for "celebrations", when the local police here will come around and threaten to arrest me if I should happen to shoot off some FIRECRACKERS to celebrate Independence Day?"Rather than take the AK's away from possibly freedom-loving Iraqis, sounds like you ought to get one of your own.

Seriously though I knew this was so fake right when I heard this "story" reported because it sounded like that faked "Afghan" wedding party story.

Axis Sally, Tokyo Rose, Hanoi Jane, and now Scheherezade, the Shriek of Araby.

No, it's only when thou takest a wife. When thou takest a goat is a much more solemn and holy rite, and besides, you have to put your AK-47 down because you'll need both hands free to please thyself and the goat.

Why can't bad guys have weddings? Maybe it was both. So come up with some circumstantial evidence to support this assertion.

The media dogs were way too eager to call this one a wedding for me to believe it. If they wait for facts to come out, it's much less damaging.
To: Coop
I wasn't making any kind of argument-- just throwing out the possibility that it was both.

Yes, but I've seen very little evidence to support the theory that a wedding was going on at all. That belated, suspect video is about all I can think of right now.
