What the Hell is it With Us and Muslim Weddings?

Nadlo:

From the artcile you just posted:

"That official reiterated that the objective was a suspected hideout, and had no information about a wedding party."

Does that say to you that it wasn't a wedding party? You may we recall, the wedding party we blew up in Afghanistan turned out to be a wedding party. If you thought I was implying that we deliberately took out a wedding party in either Iraq or Afghanistan, that would be your problem. I don't think killing lots of people including children at a wedding party is part of our strategy. Who knows, maybe it will turn out all to be a big lie and really all we killed were terrorists, as opposed to that time in Afghanistan where we killed a lot of people at a wedding party. I'm just saying that if it turns out that we did accidentally kill a lot of epopel at a wedding party, that would turn out to be a bad thing for US PR, not to mention how diifcult it is for all the dead wedding guests. That's the thing about invading and occupying a country and then trying to put down an insurgency, it's puts you in this very, very difficult position where you start out trying to do your job and end up killing a lot of wedding guests. Surviving wedding party guests don't take "oops. Sorry." as being enough, and since we haven't said "Oops. Sorry." yet, like we did in Afghanistan, if it turns out this was a wedding party, I'll bet those folks are really upset.

"Blah, Blah, Blah, Max. They found weapins and money nd sattelite gear."

Everyone in Iraq has weapons. Everyone on the border with Syria has money in both currencys. Everyone in the middle east who lives away from population centers has sattelite gear.

"Uhmmm... Blah, blah, blah, Max."
