Why do we always attack Wedding Parties

[trumad]

as opposed to say, Birthday Parties or Retirement Parties, or Graduation Parties, or Republican Parties?

[Az]

1. Er.... attack?

Ok... totally missing the point of this one.

4. I dunno

because they hate us for our freedoms?

[mopaul]

10. that's it right there, they hate our freedom, damn right

and they should all die.................redneck sarcasm

[Fovea]

5. Dressed up people move slower.

You don't have to lead as much.
</sarcasm>
<disgust>
:puke:

[keithyboy]

6. It's our family values.

that's it!

[mopaul]

7. the excuse is: they were firing celebritory machine guns in the air

they did the same thing in afghanistan, but they did apologize.

[librechik]

8. Best places to win hearts and minds

how dare they misunderstand our friendly visits and make us bomb them!
Somebody always fires a musket in our direction at those things--are we supposed to just take that???

[Az]

9. I can only imagine they will claim there was gunfire coming from the party

Truth is the first casualty but definately not the last.

[nostamj]

15. read the story...

soldiers were sent to investigate the gunfire.

found nothing but a wedding party.

THEN they sent in the gunships... 42-45 dead, including children.

story reports a 'headless child'

it just gets worse.

[salin]

18. I missed this aspect of the story

they checked it out (and found the wedding) BEFORE they let loose with the gunfire? Makes no sense. Wtf is going on?

[TNOE]

11. Because we're LIBERATING them

dammit!!! How many times does this administration have to explain that to you.

Okay, sarcasm off.

[meow2u3]

19. We're liberating them, all right

Liberating them from their earthly bodies!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[TNOE]

23. Which is EXACTLY what I predicted the day

this damn "invasion" started when people at work were arguing with me that it was important that they be "liberated" from that bad man, Saddam. I told them all - yea, we'll be liberating them all right - right to their maker. God help us all.

[wysimdnwyg]

12. They keep mistaking...

the wedding dress for a HazMat suit.

:evilgrin:

[slackmaster]

20. In this case they may have mistaken celebratory gunfire for hostile action

13. It's because of the gay weddings.

See?
The attack on marriage has already begun.

[htuttle]

14. The US Air Force is clearly a threat to the Institution of Marriage!

OMG, do you think they bombed any pregnant women and killed their fetuses?

[PretzelWarrior]

26. spot on. good post. we hate their freedom, I guess

x

[TheFarseer]

16. maybe the girl had short hair

and we thought it might be a gay wedding

[sangh0]

17. That's an easy one

Repuke Family Values

[Cocoa]

21. it's a slippery slope

if we allow Iraqis to marry, then people will want to marry their pets.

[salin]

22. *guffaw*

[UTUSN]

24. Because We Think They're Massachusetts Weddings? n/t
