I have reached the point that anything the AP puts out is suspect to me.
Let's see now, not one mention of women, not even one woman, in this description. Just men riding around shooting. Perhaps this is the equivalent of an Arab bachelor party. And then they go splice tape in. Not good evidence but it'll play in the Arab (3rd World) and Hate-America (1st World) worlds.
Ten children that probably would have grown up to fly planes into our buildings, or blow themselves up on our streets.
Maybe it was a Boston new style wedding.
Doesn't upset me at all, you should be upset that your beloved liberal media is being shown for what they are, anti-American shills.
Heck, I don't care if there was a wedding in an enemy camp, we targeted the right place, and got some bad guys. They had their "wedding" on the wrong day, in the wrong place, and they were shooting guns. I'm sorry about "innocent" deaths, but the fact is that women, and even "children" in that part of the world can also be our enemies.
And, if they're trying to imply that their terrorist weddings are a celebration of life, I fail to see the reasoning.
Please get your facts straight in trying to spread FUD. Kimmit didn't say that. It was Major General James Mattis, commander of the 1st Marine Division who reportedly said "Ten miles from the Syrian border and 80 miles from the nearest city and a wedding party? Don't be naive," and "Plus, they had 30 males of military age with them. How many people go to the middle of the desert to have a wedding party?"
So you have first hand information that refutes the claim that the vehicles and weaponry at the scene indicate that these were not locals?
Geraldo a left wing communist turned foaming at the mouth right winger, is now appears trying to have it both ways.
So it's OK to kill the children, then.
Maybe it's not EITHER - OR, but BOTH - AND: "Both a wedding party and a safehouse for bad guys."
I don't say there were children - or even a real wedding there. I'm sure the enquiries will soon allow us to know what transpired there given the cautious ton of the AP wires, I suppose the wedding could well have been a bunch of terrorists rejoicing about one thing or other.
I was just reacting to the "ten children who would have grown up to crash planes into our building" comment of Shut Up And Take It. It had this "oh, so what if we'd kill children, after all" undertone that angers me. I couldn't care less about what happens to Islamic Fundamentalists and terrorists, but I just don't believe children are legitimate targets.
And I'd like to know more about these so called "children". Probably more like 17 year old boys attending boot camp.
After the smash hit that the terrorists had with the Berg video, I think they just are adding more fuel to the fire for the peacniks here. I don't really care what it was, and I don't consider myself that kind of person.
I feel so numb by the neverending assault of the propaganda media. I am mugged daily on my front porch when I open my paper, I don't watch any mainstream news because I will just be lied to, and I don't want to have to familiarize myself with the names of people and places that I wish would drop off the face of the earth. My one solace is that come November, I can walk into that voting booth and shove it right back at them.
Great eye. I haven't seen that movie in...?...30 years but I remember it as very powerful.
