Yet another wedding party

Is it just me or do US airstrikes hit an inordinate number of weddings? I smell Islamist bullshit here.

Deaths in Falluja airstrike
In another area of anti-U.S. insurgency -- the city of Falluja -- an American airstrike Friday killed 14 people and wounded 16 during a wedding party, according to hospital officials.

The U.S. military said its planes had targeted a terrorist safe house.

An emergency room doctor said the strike killed the groom and wounded several women and children.

The U.S.-led coalition statement had reported an airstrike at 1:15 a.m. (Thursday at 5:15 p.m. ET) on a safe house in northwest Falluja where terrorist leaders linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi were meeting.

The city's hospital said it received the dead and wounded from the wedding party around 2 a.m. (6 p.m. ET).


I don't think I've ever read a report from hospital officials in Falluja where anything BUT civilians were hit.
