NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/22/...main/index.html Lets see here. We're getting ready to have a wedding. Got to get all the stuff necessary -300 sets of bedding -Binoculars used to adjust artillery fire -Battery packs used in roadside bombs -terrorist training manuals -fake Id's & Fake ID machines -passports & various phone numbers to other countries. Wow. Unless the Iraqi's were getting a couple of top level insurgents hitched I somehow doubt that anybody was getting married at this site.

YASNY Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I've heard since the event that we had attacked a wedding party. And I've heard it on numerous occasions. I wonder how much air play the truth will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn this just blows my mind... The US government had said all along that it was a terrorist gathering, and you had to dig all of the way down to the end of an article to find that part. If the media hadn't have been so quick to want a tragedy and actually gave equal play to the US explanation, this would have been understood already.

southsider2k5 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 But the media is NOT biased!!! I am not even saying media BIAS, I am saying anything to sell a newspaper. This story has been out there from the beginning. Right away the story was 40 people killed at a wedding... Instead of 40 suspected terrorists killed who said they were at a wedding.

Right away the story was 40 people killed at a wedding... Instead of 40 suspected terrorists killed who said they were at a wedding. But the point is, they listen to THEIR side before they listen to ours, because it's more dramatic and honestly fits the mode of slapping around our government for doing the wrong thing. I find it really ironic how the media pushed us into the war for beating the s*** out of a dead horse, and now, they are pushing us into failure. Mark my words. Saudi Oil fields are the next major target... and the media is just playing along... and you think gas prices are high now? Hybrid cars will be out in a year if that happens. And a lot of this is pure media spin. Sensationalism at its finest - and anything to make a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 -300 sets of bedding Lots of guests. -Binoculars used to adjust artillery fire The groom is a bird watching enthusiast, those were the only binoculars that could be found at market. -Battery packs used in roadside bombs One of the guests must have forgotten that. -terrorist training manuals That was a misinterpretation. It was really "Chicken Soup for the young Martyr's Soul" -fake Id's & Fake ID machines The bar scene is really starting to take off in Baghdad. The fake ID business is a potential cashcow. -passports & various phone numbers to other countries. They had some relatives fly in for the ceremony. See, there is a reason for everything.

FlaSoxxJim Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 For the record, I have not posted on this attack baecause I did not know what to think. I don't think the claims that we screwed it up are so easily dismissed yet. If so, then is the AP film crew in cahoots? Did the iraqis trying to convince us it was a wedding go out and find people that really were in a local wedding that day, make sure they appearded on the wedding tape, and then blow them up so they can be positively identified on post-attack footage as among the casualties? As far as there not being misical instruments on hand (along with a dead organist and singer for good measure), that was not the case unless again you believe the AP crew is making it up. The same water tanker appears in both the wedding videoand the news crew footage of the attack site, so it is really unlikely that they are not at the right site. Before reading this I actually believed there was a good chance the wedding story was bunk. Now, not so much. Here's the story on abc news for any interested: http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20040523_1038.html "There was no evidence of a wedding: no decorations, no musical instruments found, no large quantities of food or leftover servings one would expect from a wedding celebration," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said Saturday. "There may have been some kind of celebration. Bad people have celebrations, too." But video that APTN shot a day after the attack shows fragments of musical instruments, pots and pans and brightly colored beddings used for celebrations, scattered around the bombed out tent.
