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"?

What a mess!

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

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

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?

According to the military, they scouted this place for days or even weeks, knew exactly what was going on there, and reported few if any women and no children were killed. Now we have film showing something entirely inconsistent with the military version. I want to believe the military, but I think the ball is in their court now.

Gen. Kimmett on Hannity radio:

Coalition are almost certain they had a 'real' target that they 'took out.' [It wasn't just an innocent wedding party.]

The General wouldn't go into much more detail on an open phone line.

[Someone posted in an earlier thread that, in Iraq, all weddings take place on Thursday for some ethic reason. This attack took place on Wednesday (early a.m.) and, thus, could not have been a wedding party.]

War is Hell...

[watchin]

So what does the AP expect us to believe? That the US military was having a dull day so they decided to go bomb a bunch of shepherds out in the middle of the desert?

There's more to this story than they're admitting. This is the kind of coverage we can expect if Osama is captured/killed before the election.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Did anyone stop to think that some of these terrorists may be packing their families around with them and they got caught in the crossfire?

[I got the rope]

I watched the whole thing...I can't help but think this commission is a big waste of time and effort.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Over here!

[cyncooper]

I have been posting today the transcript of the briefing I heard *yesterday* where Kimmitt informed everyone that no children were killed.

Every last media outlet ignored it and I thought I must have misheard until I checked first thing this morning and saw I had heard correctly.

Credibility goes to our team at this point.

[ladyinred]

Children are using Uzi's against our troops as this lying propaganda machine media well knows. If they say they were under fire from this group, then they were under fire from this group. I do not believe one word the media says anymore.
