#1 So nice of us to have a 500lb laser-guided "gift" for the wedding ready and delivering it promptly via the USAF courier service. Customer service second to none!

#2 What, again?

These clowns need to get a new lie; this one is getting old.

And laughable.

#3 I don't know. Maybe they just get married a lot in Iraq.

#4 Yep Barbara pretty lame, but then they new the media would run with it anyway. It's no longer about news - it's just anything they can throw at Bush will do. Truth? Hey, can't bother with that, there's an election to influence.

#5 *shrug*

Even if it really was a wedding party, I don't care. Civilized people do not celebrate by shooting up the fricking neighborhood.

#6 USAF... When it absolutely, positively has to be demolished overnight!

#8 WEDDING PARTY?

Here comes the bride
Burka head to toe
Paradise bound
husband nowhere around

Greener pastures
Osama promised him
72 to 1 is an easy choice to make...

#9 If the bride gets smoked in the name of Allah at the wedding does she get 72 virgins?

#10 Sounds "fake, but accurate" to me.

#11 Just because they were getting married does not mean they were innocent. Terrorists get married too. If Hitler's wedding was bombed would that be a good thing, or a bad thing?

#12 So?

If they could not find a more suitable place for a wedding it's best they did not live long enough to breed.

My question is did the bloody bomb hit it's target? If not, why not? As a tax payer this is a matter of concern to me.

#13 These folks must be getting married all the time. Do they get married more than once in the culture? When do they have time to be terrorists.

#14 The only explanation I can think of is that instead of GPS coordinates our JDAM's have category settings:

Wedding
Baby Ducks
School
Hospital
Journalists
etc.

#15 Were they handing out baby ducks and kittens at the wedding too?

#16 Or the meeting was deliberately using the wedding for cover.

They know they have spies among them, that's been real obvious for a while now. Lots of people in town don't like them at all, and tell tales about their whereabouts.

A cynical terrorist nastermind might use a wedding party to try and intimidate both the spies and the military.

#17 I wonder what poor, underknown, brave bastard did the tap on FTD WorldWide.

#18 EGAD!

They had a BABY MILK PLANT in the rear of the building!

#19 #14 Add "baby milk factory" to the list. Actually might be a great idea being able to program JDAM's by categories. Note to myself. Need to work on this.
