Let me guess. The "wedding" was being held at a baby milk factory.

100 bombs?
I don't think there would be any injured, just a big hole.

From what I have read on an Iraqi blog site is that weddings in Iraq are traditionally held on Thursadys.

Anyone else know about this?

oh, I believe it. I've seen dozens of Arab weddings that included firing mortar rounds and AK's. I've been to many that do this......well, maby not "many" but some. Or maybe none. Hell, I've never seen such a thing. Notice the satisfaction of reporting all the " women and children below the age of twelve" that got to be martyrs. And don't forget, these heroes are good at hiding behind these same "women and children below the age od twelve".Beside all that, they can be reported as "martyrs".

We say its Syrian fighters m they say its a wedding party , we say we killed 40 insurgents , they say we only killed women and kids. Somewhere in here somebody is lying. I believe our version.

"Yeah, lots of weddings at 3 a.m. on a Wednesday morning." (Where people are firing guns in the air . . . conveniently at U.S. helos!)

Just curious, but why do we get so much Reuters crap on FR? We all know it's not objective and serves out shovels full of hate America propaganda every day.

How about we take up collections and send a freeper to Iraq to give us news from Iraq. Somewhere away from the Bagdhad hotels where the drug-sopped so-called journalists scribble from.

Ah those silly Iraqi terr's, they were just wearing panties on their heads in sympathy to the prisoner abuse scandal.

Or, 41 virgin terr perps get 72 old whores posing as vestal virgins.

Ah, the pain & the shame. The MSM is right on time to denounce those bad Americans, again.

Yes!

As I've said before, if Reuters reported that I was a man, I'd feel constrained to double-check.

He said a large amount of money...had been found at the site after the attack.

Those ethnic weddings often feature large amounts of money.

Remember last year when an American missle supposedly went astray and landed in a market in Baghdad. Film showed funeral procession of innocent civilian killed. Except when one of our helicopters came too close the "dead" person jumped off the stretcher and ran away.
