I also wonder if he had some sort of a heads up that a story was going to break in this way...or an atrocity would be committed, then blamed on American soldiers.

I should have read your entire post!

Are you by chance working on the theory posted in #10 and #26? The appearance by sKerry was 2 weeks and 2 days after the rumble in the House.

During a Town Hall meeting earlier this week Democrat Congressmen John Murtha (PA) and Jim Moran (VA) touted their call for a withdrawal from Iraq, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Moran and Murtha continued the anti-war diatribes which included their relating talks they've had with military officers and rank-and-file troops in Iraq. Murtha has said the military is broken, morale within the ranks is poor, we need to pullout immediately, and other defeatist rantings.

On 1-15-06: "Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency. They are united against U.S. forces, and we have become a catalyst for violence," Rep. Murtha says

At a hearing on the Pentagon budget before the House Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on defense, Mr. Murtha, also said we could not win the war militarily.

"Where I disagree is fighting terrorism in Iraq," Mr. Murtha said. "I think that we're inciting terrorism, and that's my personal opinion. ... When you go in ... with the tactics we have to use to protect American lives, you're going to create enemies. And that's what we've done."
