This article from CNN is EXTREMELY INTERESTING in several respects. First it was filed by Arwa Damon - the CNN reporter that defended the Kilo Co. Marines. Second, the article includes a statement by Capt. James Kimber, commander of India Co. This is the Capt that the media has portrayed as part of the "Haditha Massacre". Notice that it plainly states that he was with India Company - the Marines involved in the current investigation were with Kilo Company. Lastly and more importantly, it is proof of the tactics of the insurgents in Haditha and the civilian complicity with the attacks against the soldiers.

Marines find insurgency's deadly tools in Haditha - October 7, 2005

Some Excerpts... "US Marines and members of Iraqi Special Forces on Thursday uncovered a sizable weapons cache hidden in a shrine and yard adjacent to a mosque in east-central Haditha... and continued to uncover deadly buried roadside bombs. The city itself is almost literally an improvised explosive device (IED) field."

"...the route in front of the mosque was being swept for mines when the unit was hit by an IED... Discovered a second IED with a detonation cord leading to the mosque... The unit hit by the IED reported seeing a male fleeing from the scene." (this is a little over a month prior to the incident currently under investigation. Remember the "innocent males" in the taxi who ran from the Kilo Co. soldiers??)

"...From two large blue plastic tubs Marines pulled out explosives including rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), bomb-making materials and grenades. Hidden underneath the crumbling rubble of the graveyard and the rock filled garden surrounding the shrine, Marines found 16 155mm artillery shells, about half of which were already rigged with detonation cord. Buried in the catacombs of the shrine, they found more RPG rounds, RPGs and AK-47 assault rifles."

"It takes two to three hours to bury one of these IEDs" one Marine said. 'There is no way that they have not seen anything if we found two of these IEDs in front of the mosque and found this weapons cache here."

"...most of the IEDs found in Haditha were buried underneath the pavement. Insurgents have come up with ways to tap into the local power supply to keep the batteries on the detonators charged. Typically, Marines have been finding suspicious wires protruding from the asphalt throught the city. Buried underneath are usually two to four 155mm rounds and sometimes propane tanks." (propane tanks exploded in one of the houses during the Haditha incident per Time Magazine)

There is no freaking way that the "civilians" killed were just innocents getting dressed for work and school. If not responsible for detonating the bombs, they HAD to be aware of the presence of the bombs. Remember the 9 year old girl (that wants the Marines executed), reported that "she knew the bomb was going to go off and covered her ears."

Our Marines are being portrayed as murderers while the true murderers and those aiding and abetting them are portrayed as innocent civilians. I call BS on this. Damn you Murtha.

This is the biggest scam since Rathergate! These were terrorists that were staged as a killing and PravdABDNC is lying through their mikes.

Mussolini was right about the only thing reporters are good for is Decorations for Lampposts.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

BS is exactly right and then some.

This morning on the drive by media (cbs). The reporter from Time magazine told us that the film was produced by a "want to be Iraqi journalist" who made the tape after the firefight, then turned it over to a Human Rights Group, who then went up the chain of command with the tape.

I am absolutely outraged at the media and the world and any of our leaders who would believe any of this crap let alone prosecute our men and women who are doing their duty and risking their lives for us and the Iraqi people. The new "sensitivity training" is just another way to tell our men and women that we need more of them to die to appease the traitors in the world who wish to see us defeated.

God Bless our men and women in uniform. YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN BY THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE IN YOU AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Don't think for one minute that the majority of the American people are not behind you 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Insurgents in Haditha executed 19 Shiite fishermen and National Guardsmen in a sports stadium."


Our Marines did not kill these people.

The terrorists did.

I find it very hard not to take every thing I see/hear/read with the CNN name attached to it as fiction.
