Rashômon

The Iraq “Wedding Party” Attack story is getting attention at Belmont Club, and it seems more complex than it first appeared; U.S. Central Command* indicates that the attack was actually directed at a meeting of insurgent forces and that the location of the attack was a way-station for foreign fighters entering the country from Syria.

* Clearly, as can be seen by the choice of names like “Central Command” and “The Provisional Government,” U.S. military planners never watched Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. No word on whether or not we’ll be seeing The Dominion rear its ugly head in Mesopotamia.
