odd that we always seem to hit "wedding parties"
Haven't seen much US press about this. CNN has only one line mentioning it and not even the headline says "wedding party"

 

[dahunan]

I think their culture still fires guns in the air as a way of extreme celebraton.


[neocon]But they need to be Westernized and if we have to do it with bombs then so be it.[/neocon]

 

[CaptnKirk]

Pretty sure that our forces are a bit squiriley when they see gatherings
in areas that have a shady recent history, but somebody better be doing
thier homework before we dump 'Smart Bombs' on a target.

Jumping the gun with what appears to be a over assertive premptive
policy is driving out effort deeper and deeper in the hole - against us.

12 killed and 17 wounded ,ore than triples the abount of foes we have
recruted against our policies over there - the surviving families and
their relatives, which would be nearly 100 (minimum) now don't trust us.

This didn't need to happen. Shame on Bush and anyone who justifies his failures.

Not only is this a sad event for those involved but it's just the kind of thing increases terrorist hate (and who wouldn't hate someone that bombed their wedding).

Not a repug but I refuse to believe it was an actual wedding especially when ground forces are the ones who tell where the airstrikes should hit. Just some info I got from my younger brother in Iraq.

Yep, because humans never make mistakes.

 

[maddogchen]

hmm...here's my crazy theory: CIA/Special Forces tailing a group of known terrorists/insurgent leaders who all gather at a house. The CIA/Special Forces don't know they are there for a wedding party because they can't see into the house. They order an air strike and it arrives right when they are about to leave. BAM. What, terrorists can't attend weddings?

No they do I know this wasn't a mistake am just taking the word of my brother there. Also another cool info I heard about Iraq is that they are using the soldiers from Nicaragua to track where terrorist come and go since they seem to blend in better with the muslim ppl.

It's amazing how certain people can see all sorts of abstract neocon conspiracies yet can't logically ascertain that the insurgents are purposefully meeting at places where there are weddings, women, and children purely in case of a bombing. That way, even if the place is bombed they can claim it was all civilians--women and little chitlins that the big bad US were bombing. They can claim that once again they missed their target and are purposefully targeting civilians. Seems like a fairly simple tactic and a quite effective one to use.

Isn't a bit ironic how we're always killing nothing but civilians in Iraq? You'd think there was no such thing as an insurgent.

Alternatively, people are getting married and the US is making mistakes like it did regarding WMDs and Iraq being a threat to the US.

 

[conjur]

For some reason, "credible sources" and "intelligence" just don't hold any water anymore.

Ollie North's Iran Contra Buddies ?

 

[BarneyFife]

Yeah right. I have a hard time believing that their are all these wedding parties. Their was the wedding party in Afghanistan, the party in Iraq (you know the one in the middle of the desert at 3 am) and now this. I'm against the war but I have a feeling these wedding guests were troublemakers.

Yea I guess wanna hear something funny the future vp of Nicaragua (yes its been decided before the election) is the uncle of my good friend and was also working for the CIA during the contra. South American politics is corrupt like my homeland of Cuba.

We do not know, or practice their customs.

I doubt that part of the celebration calls for straffing.

 

[judasmachine]

I bet Bush uses this tactic to enforce his hatred of gay marriage too....


Man I think I'm going to vomit after reading justifications for murder from arm chair warriors.

Muslim is not a race I think you mean "Arabs". And while obviously they would mix in better than americans soldiers, I'm guessing there would still be eyebrows raised because to me i can immediately distinguish arabs between south americans, and i would assume no less of people who spend their lives living in the mid-east~ especially if you see someoen who KINDA looks arab at first glance...but once you get a better glance you know something isn't right Then again just say you are vacation and problem solved ^^_

and as for the future VP being chosen already...uhhhhhh, aren't we supposed to be FOR democracy?

No, but they're a people, and that's what he was talking about. You were the first person to mention race. :roll:

Nice attempt to segue into how you can distinguish between arabs and south americans (big accomplishment by the way).

 

[jackschmittusa]

If some "credible" source reported a meeting of insurgents at a hospital, would the hospital become a legitimate target? A school? I get tired of hearing how we try to minimize casualties among the innocent, then fail to descriminate the targets. Either change the tactics or the publiclly announced policy, but make what we do and what we say mean the same thing.

The point you miss is that you can't increase terrorist hate. They are and have been at saturation.
