I heard on the news that it might be. Has it been established definitely?

What do you think about the torturing and murder of innocent Iraqis picked up in sweeps?

How do you think it will turn out.... have we, as it appears to some in the intelligence community, been duped by Iran via Chalabi into doing their Shiite bidding -- using our resources and the lives of American soldiers? What is your impression at this early point?

I'm googling to find the wedding party info. I can't find the evidence that "the tape was a fake." Are you saying that these were posed, faked pictures?

Associated Press Television News footage showed a truck containing bloodied bodies, many wrapped in blankets, piled one atop the other. Several were children, one of whom was decapitated. The body of a girl who appeared to be less than 5 years of age lay in a white sheet, her legs riddled with wounds and her dress soaked in blood.

...He said 42 to 45 people died, including 15 children and 10 women. Dr. Salah al-Ani, who works at a hospital in Ramadi, put the death toll at 45.


This is from the same AP piece, from Thursday:

Military officials in Washington refused to address the question of whether anyone from a wedding party was among the people killed.

Would you please post some evidence that the "tape was fake"? That the photos of the decapitated, bullet-ridden children were "fake"?

I imagine that you will soon be without acknowledgment morphing your claim to mean something else, as Bill did his.

It doesn't matter if the tape is a hoax. These people are ready to believe anything negative about our military, true or not. Those poor Iraqi 'insurgents' (aka al Qaeda) don't deserve to have panties put on their heads.

Massey's story is a hoax and the wedding party is a hoax. The lefties here ought to apologize for posting them.
