Update: US Denies Attack on Wedding Party
They say it was a legitimate attack on insurgents crossing the border:
Kimmitt said coalition ground troops were investigating a suspected "rat line" — a route used by anti-U.S. insurgents and criminals such as smugglers — when they came under fire.
The troops called in air support, Kimmitt said, and coalition planes attacked the site. He said the ground troops afterward recovered "numerous weapons, 2 million Iraqi and Syrian dinar, foreign passports, and a SATCOM radio."
Hmmmmmm. Maybe it was one of those weddings where everyone decided to give the bride a SATCOM radio and foreign passports. We think you can get those when you register at Macy's.
Dave Pasquino immediately disputed our "Oh, the sky is falling" take on the report earlier. We're extraodinarily happy to be proven wrong.
