I just saw Kinnett say on live TV that they found no dead children
Edited on Thu May-20-04 10:37 AM by bigtree
at the site of the wedding party attack. Then I saw a report with a man carrying a dead child to be buried.

How many different stories has the military used to justify the attack on the wedding party?

_______________________________________

"We took hostile fire and we returned fire," said Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of operations for the US military in Iraq.

He said there were no indications that the victims of the attack were part of a wedding party.

He added that a large amount of money, Syrian passports and satellite communications equipment had been found at the site of the attack.

"A US military spokesman confirmed that about 40 people had been killed in the area - but said US forces had targeted a safe house used by foreign fighters."

He said coalition forces had retaliated after coming under attack.

Did they target the house and then were attacked?

Do money, Syrian passports and satellite communications equipment make folks terrorists?

Where are the weapons? Kinnett does not say that weapons were found

Where are these foreign fighters?

To our lying, facist military authority, the site of the massacre was a "rat hole", the term obviously used to devalue the lives of the people they killed when they blindly fired into the community.

This force is more and more resembling a band of thugs, and murderers, like the forces in Israel.

Iraqis have been burying the victims of a US air strike which they said hit a wedding party.

Mourners said an Iraqi wedding singer and his musician brother were among more than 40 people killed.

Television footage has shown bodies, including those of children, wrapped in blankets and loaded onto trucks.

Lt. Col. Ziyad al-Jbouri, deputy police chief of Ramadi, said 42 to 45 people were killed in the attack, which took place about 2:45 a.m. (5:45 p.m. ET Tuesday) near the border with Syria and Jordan. He said the dead included 15 children and 10 women.

Most of the bodies on the APTN videotape were wrapped in blankets and other cloths, but the footage showed at least eight uncovered, bloody bodies, several of them children. One of the children was headless.

“We received about 40 martyrs today, mainly women and children below the age of 12,” Hamdy al-Lousy, the director of Qaim hospital, told the Dubai-based satellite television station Al-Arabiya, which reported that 41 people were killed and 10 injured in the attack. “We also have 11 people wounded, most of them in critical condition.”

Al-Arabiya showed pictures of several shrouded bodies lined up on a dirt road. Men were shown digging graves and lowering bodies, one of a child, into the pits while relatives wept.

Israel defies world outcry, expands Gaza raid

Many of the casualties in Wednesday’s attack were children and the sight of their bloodied faces added to the anger around the world, as did the reports of overwhelmed doctors treating dozens of wounded on blood-drenched hospital floors.

Associated Press Television News footage showed smoke and debris flying, followed by Palestinians carrying away the wounded, including several children with bloodstained faces. Some were evacuated by donkey cart.

At the small hospital in Rafah, doctors shouted for help and blood donations, while treating wounded on the floors after quickly running out of beds in the small hospital.

Dr. Ali Moussa, the hospital director, said Thursday that eight people were confirmed dead, including six people under 18. He said 55 were wounded, several in serious condition. Palestinian officials had earlier put the death toll at 10.

1. Now the video is a lie. I guess they are saying the video
"isn't consistent with what the coalition forces found".

Everybody and everything lies except them. Video footage and digital pictures, they are really causing problems for Kimmet.
