Arab television and The Associated Press aired video showing the bodies of small children in a truck full of bodies and people digging graves as they quoted witnesses and Iraqi officials who discussed the attack. But senior military officials in Washington said U.S. and coalition forces conducted a strike on "anti-coalition vehicles" along the Iraqi-Syrian border. According to the military, at 3 a.m. local time Wednesday coalition forces conducted an operation against a suspected foreign fighter safe house in the open desert. The house was 25 kilometers from the Syrian border, 85 kilometers southwest of Husaybah, military officials said. Coalition forces came under hostile fire and called for support from the air. After the strike, coalition forces recovered numerous weapons, foreign passports, a SATCOM radio and two million Iraqi and Syrian dinars, military officials said.
That means that ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. will pick it up word-for-word shortly and toe the jihad-democrat party line!

The attack was a Marine op. taking down a "safe compound" of houses full of Syrian rebels on the Syrian border not at Ramadi. There was stiff resistance so our guys pulled back and called in Puff. That's what was reported as hundreds of bombs. The family living there got caught in the crossfire. The wedding aspect is pure b.s.
40 people, including women and children, were killed in a predawn attack
A pre-dawn wedding party? Right!!!!!!
Hmm, lemme see, who do we believe, The Anti-American Alphabet nets, arab tv or the US military. Such a hard choice, NOT!
2 million Iraqi and Syrian dinar
Thats got to be more than forty bucks, American!
A predawn attack...and it was a wedding party?? Okay, one of two possibilities exist: either those Iraqis are wild party animals or the press is just towing the Jihad Party Line.
Iraqis Say U.S. Attacked Wedding Party (US Miltary denies the report )
