Again? They should outlaw weddings over there. /sarc
Seriously, IF this proves to be true, a certain General’s head will roll.

Thankfully this will no longer happen after January 20,2009. The Taliban can just go in and behead the women and children like the good old days when Clinton was president.

We'll start seeing “global warming” from the US media to sugarcoat Obama’s job-killing policies, and we'll start seeing “US military killing civilian” articles from the rest of the world to force ‘global Prez’ Obama to cut from the Middle East and gut the military.
Welcome to our future lazy ass GOP voters who sat at home or voted for Obama. I hope the week or so of feel-good stories will soothe the pain we all will feel over the next few years.

PG-7’s and AK’s are not party favors......... I’ll reserve my use of the term “accident” until further investigation from other than presstitutes.

Someone should do a search ... wedding parties ... how many? ... it drew my eye and so I posted it.
I also had a story about a boy being murdered by acid injection by kidnappers in Mexico, but it turned out someone else had posted it.
You must admit, stories like this put one’s own problems into perspective.

How long before president elect BO talks about “air raiding villages and killing innocent civilians” again?
To: BlackVeil
The Taleban issued a press release saying that one of their fighters was killed and two wounded in the fighting. The group claimed to have killed 13 American soldiers and destroyed an armoured vehicle. Be sure to read all the way to the bottom of the story where this acknowledgment is found. Seems the Taliban is responsible for this and continues it's practice of seeking shelter among civilians, deliberately causing this kind of tragedy.

Yes, it is confirmed that the Taliban were operating in the area, although not with those details, which are probably embroidered.

Seriously, the wedding party ruse is just another one of those Muslim propaganda tools. Every time we bomb something, it ends up being a wedding party. We couldn't be that accurate if we were aiming only for wedding parties.
To: BlackVeil
Those soldiers had better not come home, because the minute Obama steps foot in the whitehouse they’ll get shipped off to the Whirled Court.

well think about it
a gathering of folks in a usually rugged enviroment not overpopulated with people
if so...prayers for the innocents, especially the children and the poor couple
i doubt our military intenionally bombs large groups of civilians, Generation Kill notwithstanding
