#1 We're getting pretty good at hitting wedding festivities - at least one a year. Did we get another 45 mins of secondaries as the bridesmaids and ushers went off?

#2 I know about the gun and RPG things, but when are airstrikes going to become part of the wedding traditions over there?

#3 Residents and local doctors say many of the U.S. raids have inflicted civilian casualties.

In Fallujah, I don't care....

#4 They always plan to have weddings next to so-called safe houses. Except that ploy does not work any more. Intel targets the safe house. JDAM hits safe house. Explosion takes out terrorists, blast effect takes out civilian cover. Civilians will learn to stay away, rat out the terrorists or die. War in this city is ugly. Want to get rid of war in Fallujah? Leave the terrorists no quarter, or suffer the consequences.

#5 Amazing but true!

The word in Arabic for wedding and also means multi-generational terrorist cell meeting.

It was supposed to be a fly-by, but something got lost in communication...

#7 A caller has just suggested, Duelfur report not withstanding, that WMDs might be IN FALLUJAH!

Egad! Next "wedding party" we hit might set off mustard gas containers!?!?!?!?!?!
