"ssociated Press Television News obtained videotape showing a truck containing bodies of people who were allegedly killed in the incident."

That would be the WAAAAAAAAAmbulance.

In Gaza, the Paleostinians are demolishing their own houses and blaming the Israelis, hoping to get compensation from the PA. Lol.

Off course there could be something to this, but combined with the Gaza incident, I have put my tin foil hat on, and think that the terrorist scum could very well have done this themselves.

Perhaps someone should tell the people of Iraqi that the US will shoot because we are at WAR.

If someone fires into the air, what are our troops suppose to do? Walk into the middle of it and ask, "Are you the enemy or is this just a wedding?"

It's really bad for all that we shot up a wedding. Not a good turn of events.

Who the hell gets married at 2:45 AM in the morning in the middle of a war zone?

In a war zone I don't know, but I have attended German "Dutch" Hops that lasted for two complete days. That is nonstop drinking, eating and dancing.

"Uhh... if the events described are accurate, I don't think you're attitude is appropriate and I hope the US Military takes it a bit more seriously. We're not talking about the death of a housecat here."

Hint: Don't shoot at Apaches while you have a wedding party, and you won't get blowed up real good.

Who knows how these people really died? Maybe they were upstairs from a bomb lab which had an accident, and then some idiot gets the idea to use the bodies for a PR stunt. Unfortunately, that kind of thing happens a lot.

I guess the U.S definition of "restraint" is more flexible than the one demanded of Israel or else it doesn't exist. And we have also committed a war crime.

If EVER we have shown restraint in a war, it's this war. Someone on another thread stated "we are using peacetime rules of engagement in a war zone". Being that we have a very limited report here, how can you say this is a war crime? Jumping to conclusions, are you?

I guess you missed the must read story from a soldier in Bahgdad april 9th.

A seven year old shot him.

Errr...are you a d!psh!t? You don't even know the whole story yet?

If your intellectual gas is so low-octane that you take any lamestream press story at face value, you need to post less and read a little more.

What a bunch of BS.

Maybe, but it's been reported by dozens of sources. As I recall, we attacked a wedding in Afghanistan too.

Makes perfect sense to me. Let's see, it's 2:45 in the morning, the helicopter is flying over and all of a sudden there is guns going off. Hmmm, I might have fired too.

It's 2:45 am. It's dark and you're shooting guns in the air. In a war zone.

Stupidity meter HIGH!
