Poor BG Kimmitt. He should retire before his inevitable nervous breakdown during a press conference in the near future.
Now, there is no doubt in my mind that we got some really bad guys in this air attack, but when a general in the US Army says "What kind of people hold wedding receptions in the middle of the desert??," as Kimmitt did last week, I respond, "Let me think, sir,...ARABS maybe???" He lost his credibility with me when he asked that stupid question.
The other senior military leadership over there appears substandard, as well. Sorry, folks, if this upsets you.

Geraldo R. interviewed Kimmitt about this last night, and the General did a rather poor job of defending our troops. With the exception of one short "there are inconsistencies with the video," he spent the whole segment talking about investigations and potential compensation.

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?

According to the Official Media Interpretation of the Laws of War, when terrorists assemble for wedding celebrations at terrorist facilities, the United States may not use deadly force at any place within 300 nautical miles of the wedding celebration, even if its sponsors or attendees should commit acts of terrorism or otherwise use deadly force against United States or any member of its false coalition of the coerced and bribed. The bride(s) and groom may or may not attend their wedding celebration; in fact, they need not be married or even exist.
