Where are the G*d-d*mned gunsight photos and on-the-ground photos that the US military MUST have? They went in on the ground to collect weapons and other stuff. This press bullsh*t will continue to fester until the military gets the facts out.

Wars are not only fought on the ground, they are also fought in the press. Any general or any other commander who does not understand that point is capable of losing in the press every battle that is first won on the ground.

Are the US military brass as dumb as a bag of hair, that they do not realize this obvious point?

Generally they do. I hope nobody has to eat any shoes on this one.

If it is true that ground forces never got closer than two miles away at night, then it is a pretty good bet they had no idea who they were attacking before they attacked. I agree they need to get evidence out and they need to do it quickly.

Or perhaps the wedding cameraman shot photos/video that will prove who's right...

The body of what survivors said was the wedding's cameraman was pulled out of the debris Thursday.

It's all about timing. Let the media get into a frenzy, then prove that they're idiots with the video.

At least, I hope that's the plan.
