DOUBLE FEATURE: CNN Perpetuates Myths of Haditha and Nutty Professor Steps Into Congressman's Role

CNN also neglected to mention the 11 Marines injured during that day of battle in Haditha.

No, America-hating liberal Democrats like those who populate the CNN newsrooms only mention dead Marines, and then only in the context of "body counts", never in the context of brave warriors who were killed by a cowardly enemy that uses children as shields.

Thank God nobody watches CNN anymore.

Whenever I have the bad luck to catch a little of Larry King on CNN, his callers always seem to be dithery old ladies in Canada.

As happy as I am about the recent exoneration of Marines who were charged with crimes for their response to the Haditha ambush, I still worry that there will end up being one or two scapegoats; bones thrown to the prosecution and the Iraqis in the name of political correctness.

I have a nervous feeling that one enlisted Marine and one officer will be found guilty of something. My guess is that Wuterich is the primary target. If he gets off, it's all over for the prosecution. Prayers up.

[RedRover]

Agreed, that’s my biggest fear as well.

You may be able to program your remote to skip CNN.
I did that with my Mom’s remote.

I share your concern, Lancey. We can wish the best all we want, but if there's a deal going down, it's a different ballgame. But remember Lancey, we can fight that too! Never quit, our Marines don't, we just can't let them down.

"SOLIS: It be would be difficult to say justice has been served if no one is convicted."

I'd like to kick this M-Fer right in the teeth.

(Sorry to candy coat it, but it is Sunday morning.)

Hard to believe this clown teaches at West Point. Filling the heads of future leaders of the military with dangerous mush.

Requesting for a re-post. It's Monday. No candy coating allowed.

Here’s to Mr. Brennan’s speedy recovery.

Great, great, great thread, even though I couldn’t believe what I was reading.

What’s Solis’ problem? Did he fall off Greg Louganis’ diving board and hit his head?

[2111USMC]

Ooops!

Lost a day.

Guy needs a good thumpin’ though.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Good summary. Have you contacted Media research Center at www.mrc.org ?

[lilycicero]

Yes, he does.

[RedRover]

No, but I will. Thanks for the tip!

"SOLIS......"
"I'd like to kick this M-Fer right in the teeth."

And a lot of us would be at your side.
