I would surmise that after the attack, the insurgents killed women and children in order to try and implicate Americans. Those animals are capable of doing just that as the Palestinians use child and woman suicide bombers.

"Reported" by "Scheherezade Faramarzi" of the "Associated Press". Enough said.

"What we saw in those APTN videos were substantially inconsistent with the reports we received from the unit that conducted the operation,"

Wasn't Richard Pryor's line, though in a different context:
"Who you going to believe?
Me or your lying eyes"?

So they know for a fact the hair is from a woman? And musical instruments are evidence of a wedding party?

I think maybe its high time when we pull raids we supply some sort of tactical camera that records the raid.

They may have learned from their Palestinian friends how to stage show video of funerals and attacks.

These guys may be cowards who hide among women and children while they "fight," but they're not stupid. They've figured out how to play the Western press like a drum.

Yes but they do not have very many of them in use. If they did we could better combat the media interpertations of events.

True. And right now, their PR is more effective than GWB's PR is.

go check out this 'reporter's' previous crap. My hunch is that it's yet another Jenin Massacre story. I'll eat my shoe if I'm wrong.

I wonder how long it would take for Michael Moore to stage footage like this? Hmmm...

Where are the G*d-d*mned gunsight photos and on-the-ground photos that the US military MUST have? They went in on the ground to collect weapons and other stuff. This press bullsh*t will continue to fester until the military gets the facts out.

Wars are not only fought on the ground, they are also fought in the press. Any general or any other commander who does not understand that point is capable of losing in the press every battle that is first won on the ground.

Are the US military brass as dumb as a bag of hair, that they do not realize this obvious point?
