OK, I think the US is in trouble now...
"U.S. bomb kills scores of Afghans
KABUL, Afghanistan, July 1 — A source from the Afghan Ministry of Defense told NBC News that a bomb dropped by a U.S. plane killed at least 250 members of an Afghan wedding party in an attack on a village in Uruzgan province southeast of Kabul on Monday. Pentagon officials confirmed that an errant bomb was dropped during a bombing run over a suspected enemy target in southern Afghanistan overnight. U.S. officials also acknowledged there have been reports of civilian casualties but said they have no details yet on the numbers of injured or ..........."

Well. We are screwed. Suddenly do we think everyone with a gun is a terrorist?
BTW; any new info on Bin Laden?
-
Yeah, I heard that on thursday, the good ol\' fourth of July, he\'s going to bomb Las Vegas or something like that. I also heard that he\'s alive and very well.
The main thing to consider in these threats is that people like Bin Laden thrive completely on fear. By inducing fear,you bring out weakness and paranoia in a country.
-
Oh, well. Las Vegas you say???? Vapor Snake vaporized.:D
-
Yeah I heard about that too. Also I heard about him releasing another one of his "home videos".
-
Bye Bye Vapor.

his life. if he bombs us again in america it will probably get easier for us to locate him.

Apparently it was a wedding that was nearby an enemy installation. They fired some weapons in the air that apparently people do at weddings now days.
Since the plane was responding to claims that anti aircraft weapons were being launched in the area, they reacted.
No clue if I really believe it or not yet, but it still blows. Why they would be firing weapons into the air knowing that we have planes around is pretty stupid though.

Damn this wedding is good. I gotta bust a cap up in here!

Yea..but their is a big difference between firing weapons and anti-aircraft weaponry. I find that to be rather a cop out to help them save face.
Anywho..just something they do I guess..like when jewish men step on a glass..or throwing rice..etc..etc
I still wanna know why poeple fire guns on new years eve.

He\'s as good as dead anyway now. Being the most reviled man on earth, it\'s only a matter of time. And that\'s what makes it so worrying. If he has nuclear capabilities as some believe, what\'s to stop him, as a parting blow, condemning everyone else to death with the use of such weaponry?

yeah, something tells me osama isnt the "sit back and chill" type terrorist.

Vapor\'s on vacation on the East coast if I remember correctly.. So, like he\'s not gonna die, but maybe his house will be gone? :laughing:
-
Yeah.. Ops 2x..
First the US Government wants to put a stop for the war crime tribunal.
Pretty good at judging others arnt ya Bushy? When it comes to “yourself” the rules does not apply. Hmm.
-
and the Sad thing is that if the pilot that dropped the bomb\'s was NOT an American.. he Would be up for WAR Crimes Charges.
I guess this is just keeping up the USAF\'s Tradition of "Friendly Fire".
Anyway dose anyone remember the case during the Gulf War when a A10 tank killer Fired on a BRITISH APC and Killed 8 Royal Marines?
Yeah the only “excuse” the Family got was
“it was Difficult for Air Crews to ID the APC”
This Was despite the fact that they where flying under 100 feet, plus the fact that the pilots could rely on both the A10 & other forms of Electronic Aids AS WELL AS THE GOD DAMMED APC BEING CLEARLY MARKED AS AN FRIENDLY (very distinctive markings)!
And the worst thing about this is that the AMERICAN government has never apologised to the Dead Marines Families.

True what ya\'ll don\'t understand in time of war accidents are more prone to happen, because you react to things different, its your ass out there, the british thing was probably a ridiculous mistake and we were wrong for it, but mistakes happen, so all ya\'ll here can sit here and say ya never made a mistake, except for video, cuz he\'ll say he\'s never made one anyway, except their mistakes were much much graver.
;) ;) ;) ;)
oh by the way when i get back home, i gotta tell ya about my trip to jersey for the wedding, it was the most unbelievable night, i\'ll be back thursday night, peace.

A good Afghan is a dead Afghan. ;)
Oops, I forgot to switch racist mode off. :D

Terrible mistake... and it\'s not the first one... :(

My take on this whole thing is that yes, they were just firing random gunshots to celebrate a wedding. But then they saw the plane, and their anti-american feelings kicked in. So they thought they were funny and started concentrating on the plane. I guess they didn\'t expect us to fire back...especially with a bomb.
