S . military took the stance that the location was a legitimate target . Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt , the coalition deputy chief of staff for U . S . operations in Iraq : " We took ground fire and we returned fire . We estimate that around 40 were killed . But we operated within our rules of engagement . " American fire included both bullets and bombs , leaving behind craters . USMC Major General James Mattis said the idea of a wedding was implausible , " How many people go to the middle of the desert . . . to hold a wedding 80 miles ( 130km ) from the nearest civilization ? These were more than two dozen military - age males . Let ' s not be naive . " The Rakats and the Sabahs were residents of Mukaradeeb . He later added that it had taken him thirty seconds to deliberate on bombing the location . In the aftermath , Kimmitt said , " There was no evidence of a wedding : no decorations , no musical instruments found , no large quantities of food or leftover servings one would expect from a wedding celebration . There may have been some kind of celebration . Bad people have celebrations , too . " Video footage obtained by the Associated Press seems to contradict this view . The video shows a series of scenes of a wedding celebration , and footage from the following day showing fragments of musical instruments , pots and pans and brightly colored beddings used for celebrations , scattered around a destroyed tent .
