Another retired general trying to make a quick buck and still assert his relevance by writing a book. :roll:

Considering the thread was nothing to begin with, I'd call it a valid contribution. Seriously, if I was trying as hard as you clowns to dig up dirt, I'd hope I'd find a lot better stuff than op-ed pieces.

Yeah...retired Generals really don't have a clue as to how to handle a war.

We should leave it up to people who've never served in the military, much less in combat.

Assuming it was a wedding. It was a terrorist haven and when the bombs fell, they put bodies from a morgue and added wedding items. Videos can be faked too you know.

Looks like we have another "Cad" who likes drinking that republican kool-aid all day and night.

I find it funny that you would trust Iraqi citizens more so than our own Christian President.

Why?????

One has lied to me and the other has not?

Want to point out how I put trust in anyone in that post?

I'm just mocking your ability to come up with such an insane explanation to the wedding evidence at the scene.

You must have access to some high-grade aluminum foil.

Give it up Winston, he won't respond to that...

How does that prove the videos of the wedding and the celebration were faked?

Please explain to me, how this link you provide supports your claim of: "It was a terrorist haven and when the bombs fell, they put bodies from a morgue and added wedding items. Videos can be faked too you know."

BTW: I can easily say, well those pictures the US military is showing of machine guns and ammo and passports was staged. But then that would just expose you to your own style of wild accusations with no evidence to back it up. :)

Passions, its great to see people like you blindly following the words of the US military. They can say Iraq has several hundred tons of WMD materials and you'd believe them....... no wait, you did! In your small world, the US is always right and nothing can prove them wrong

Zinni spent more than 40 years serving his country as a warrior and diplomat, rising from a young lieutenant in Vietnam to four-star general with a reputation for candor.

Now Format C:, please tell me how this man has less credibility than a president who hasn't served a single second outside of our country. Tell me how you know the facts and he doesn't

Exactly. It is a case of he said/she said. Who do you believe? Either side could have faked and staged evidenence in their favor. Do you believe the US Military or do you believe Iraqi citizens? In this case, I'll believe the US Military. I'm a patriot who believes in this country. Sorry if that is so foreign to you guys.

More like a "patriot" who believes what he's told and never questions authority.

I suppose you think the abuse photos were faked by some Iraqi insurgents, too?

Actually the abuse photos were a horrible shame on the US Military. It was a big screw up and top level generals should be punished. That's my feeling on that issue. But the "wedding" party was most likely a foreign fighter gathering disguised to be a wedding in the aftermath.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!

The truth should set you free, but conservatives like you are only too stubborn or proud to say you've been duped by the Bush Administration.

In what way have I been duped???

Do you really think that General Mark Kimmet would risk his career and lie??? Or do you think that a foreign fighter with nothing to gain, would plant wedding items on his fallen comrades to make them look like innocent partiers? I think the latter is highly more probable than the former. I just have a hard time believing a whole chain of command would lie to just merely save face. You guys have been brainwashed by MSNBC and Al Jazeera.
