I didn't know Janet Reno was in Iraq.

I'd give the wedding revelers a darwin Award!

This doesn't smell right. We supposed were invovled in another "wedding party" massacre in Afganstan, remember? Same circumstances, almost to a letter.

Perhaps someone should enlighten these stupid intellectually challenged idiots uninformed people that rifles are not noisemakers, they are deadly weapons.

These people are dumber than a bag of Rocks.

Lots of liberal fodder in this one
Gun control...why civilians cant be trusted with firearms
Get us out of Iraq... US GIs killing children again
US soldiers killing innocents wedding party guests...the moral equivalent of terrorists

Of course they arent telling the whole story or the American side of it...perhaps some rounds impatcted...not to mention the fact...that once the bullets fly RPGs usually come along for the ride and only mass concentrations of firepower shuts down the human launchers...before the light it up

Get the press out

[Dialup Llama]

It's standard Al Jazzera/Al Queda/Reuters protocol to evoke the wedding party gunfire thing from time to time. I actually read a story about a guy who ran an embassay (or attempted to run) checkpoint and the writer stated that the cause was that the driver was a member of a wedding party. A total non-sequiter. Didn't bother the writer of the propaganda piece at all.

Culture shock, on both sides.

Americans used to celebrate shooting guns into the air, too; then ... along came liberalism.

Why don't these people just throw rice, like sane people do?
