I'm sorry, I still don't buy this claim that it was a "wedding party." Accidents can happen, but I think our folks have pretty good intel.

I may be wrong but this whole thing stinks. Propaganda like this is easy to drum up when you're talking about an area as remote as this.

I agree. It seems to me that if it really were a wedding party, they would have video footage of people celebrating and then a bomb falling on them. People may be dirt poor in Afghanistan, but Osama bin Laden proved that they do have video cameras there.

Exactly. The "fog of war" is easy for elements hostile to our forces to use against us.

Yeah, that awesome Afghani villager propaganda machine is hard to beat, Ilbay.
