AP: Video Shows Iraq Wedding Celebration

<snip>

Haleema Shihab, 32, one of the three wives of Rikad Nayef, said that as the first bombs fell, she grabbed her seven-month old son, Yousef, and clutching the hands of her five-year-old son, Hamza, started running. Her 15-year-old son, Ali, sprinted alongside her. They managed to run for several yards when she fell — her leg fractured.

"Hamza was yelling, 'mommy,'" Shihab, recalled. "Ali said he was hurt and that he was bleeding. That's the last time I heard him." Then another shell fell and injured Shihab's left arm.

"Hamza fell from my hand and was gone. Only Yousef stayed in my arms. Ali had been hit and was killed. I couldn't go back," she said from her hospital bed in Ramadi. Her arm was in a cast.

She and her stepdaughter, Iqbal — who had caught up with her — hid in a bomb crater. "We were bleeding from 3 a.m. until sunrise," Shihab said.

Soon American soldiers came. One of them kicked her to see if she was alive, she said.

"I pretended I was dead so he wouldn't kill me," said Shihab. She said the soldier was laughing. When Yousef cried, the soldier said: "'No, stop," said Shihab.

1. The apex of western civilization - repudiation of truth - not much of a

selling point is it......

[keithyboy]

2. I wish we could get their name, rank , and serial number and call for

a war crimes court and ask for a court martial for Kimmit. I hope these people stay in Iraq, I really don't want this scum back in the US, including Kimmit!

[MasonJar]

11. Why should Iraq be stuck with our scum?

[sui generis]

3. and this is disturbing too

from the mouth of Kimmitt:

"These are pictures that are somewhat inconsistent in my mind with a wedding party," Kimmitt said. "One could say, yes, it is true that out in the desert you need to have a rifle to protect yourself against Ali Baba but the necessity for rocket-propelled launchers, rocket launchers in the bottom, special machine guns may be a little much for Ali Baba out there."

(snip)

Way to go, Kimmitt. Ali Baba? What the hell? (you ignorant slut). Good thing you weren't working in Africa and commenting on the locals protecting their watermelon patches, but just about as stupid. Will someone please fire that idiot?

Not to mention, having to backpedal and "reconcile" the official account with evidence to the contrary -- nothing like a badly attempted coverup to put a little more grease on that fire.

5. That is just stomach turning.

I can't believe he can get up there, make blatantly racist comments, and not be fired immediately.

4. Ali Baba?? What kind of racist shit is that?

"One could say, yes, it is true that out in the desert you need to have a rifle to protect yourself against Ali Baba" -- Kimmitt

No, the rifle was to protect against Uncle Sam And His 140,000 Thieves.

6. don't forget to rate the story!

Kimmit makes me SO pissed off.

how dare he lie so outrageously?

oh, nevermind. he's a bushbot.

7. My only question is:

do Iraqis always have weddings at 3 am?

[Sparkly]

8. What do you mean?

According to the article, the wedding celebrations were over when the attack came.

[Soloflecks]

9. The wedding festivities were stopped at 9pm

They went inside and turned off the lights at 9 when the strafing began. 3am is just when the US did its major damage. The celebration had been going on for a long time.

[LionInWinter]

10. Try reading the article BEFORE posting.

"The survivors agree that the wedding festivities had broken up for the night when the attack began, but they insist that there were no foreign fighters or other combatants in their group."

[louis-t]

13. o-o-o-p-s

my mistake.

[wtmusic]

12. Um, they were asleep in the house

try again

[biftonnorton]

14. The Truth Is

The soldiers did this because the wedding singer was about to launch into Achey Breaky Heart. They claim self-defense.

[wtmusic]

15. LOL yes there is a limit

to anyone's tolerance...

btw, welcome to DU!

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

18. Hi biftonnorton!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

16. "Krazy Killer Kimmit still insisting"

They just do that for all the boobs who believe the "official" story.

17. I think your link's been overridden

When I clicked on it, I didn't find the stories being told by Iraqis. It was basically a story quoting kimmit denying that any children were killed on the ground.

[leftchick]

19. New Link To The Story... Thanks Jim...

More censorship! Jim pointed out the original link was going to a different story. Indeed, it has been replaced with the Official NEW US Military Version of the story. :grr:


I think I found a new link for the original posted story....

20. delete by poster

[kimchi]

21. Kimmit is insane and/or a bloodthirsty freak.

Some people get so enmeshed in wars that they can't operate in the real world. Kimmit needs some psychological counseling. Maybe then he can rejoin the sane world where killing women and children at a wedding is WRONG.

[TNOE]

22. And this is why the right stays so damn dumb

23. Ahhh the irony...

These assholes don't know they are the ones eating the propaganda...
Fucking idiots...

<snip>
This story smelled fishy from the get go - kids at a wedding party, at 3 am - but after all of the "abuse" reports from Abu Ghraib one had to expect the enemy would try some propaganda to up the ante.

Nice try, boys, but it ain't flyin'!

24. I just heard on wolfie's show what the pentagon has to say....

about the AP report. This was reported by uber HO Barbara Starr who needs a new voice and glasses...." Even bad guys have weddings"!!!! Fucking Assholes!!!
