Members of a so-called Iraqi wedding party attacked by U.S. forces last week near the Syrian border were heavily armed, carried Syrian cash and held passports from Sudan, Coalition Provisional Authority spokesman Dan Senor revealed Monday."Keep in mind what we found at the site of the 'wedding party,'" Senor told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly.
"We found Sudanese passports, we found Syrian currency, we found a stockpile of weapons," he explained. "We found individual phone numbers to Afghanistan, Syria and other countries that often serve as bases for terrorist operations."
Senor said the size of the "wedding party's" weapons cache was so large that it raised questions about whether the group was actually manning a "way station" for terrorists traveling into Iraq.
He also questioned film footage obtained by The Associated Press showing the alleged wedding celebration taking place in broad daylight - since the attack itself came around 2 a.m. in the morning.
So if terrorists are holding a wedding, we are not allowed to attack them ? If thats the case, the terrorists will be getting married to each other, every day.
WEDDING PARTY MY ARSE!
...and the bride wore Kevlar.
Ah! Those traditional May weddings in Iraq! :)
I have been to 70-80 wedding receptions in my life, none of which lasted longer than within 15 minutes of midnight. No one is going to convince me that Iraqis party that much harder than Americans.
The bride sure had hairy knuckles. That was the dead giveaway for me.
bttt
I've heard General Kimmit say the terrain doesn't look right in the so called "wedding video", and neither does it look right in the video of the graves being dug.
I saw some footage (some channel...?) of a man carrying a supposedly just killed child, in which the leg of the dead child was extremely stiff......how fast does rigor mortis set in in the dessert at 2 a.m. anyways?
Actually, even in the 'wedding party bombed' news articles, they explained the wedding party ended at 9pm.
