"Something broke down here in the sense that no investigation was conducted immediately," said Gen. Jack Keane. "Therefore, people most likely in the chain of command who had knowledge and should have taken action appropriately did not and they will be under investigation for the failure to do that." Covering your wrinkled a** until retirement, eh, Jack?

Abu Ghraib was a prank that turned into red meat for the press.
Haditha may turn out to be a banquet for the press.

This incident is a 'wait and see'. It could be very bad in many ways.

Probably shot by the homicidal terrorists on the way out the back door.
No film, no proof.
Perfect set up for the press.

Liberals and their media have started this memorial day offensive about the Haddytha incident. Expect to hear about this story for many weeks to come. They want to make another non story like Abu Ghraib, blame President Bush for it, attack the moral of our military, cause anger in Iraq against us, and help the terrorists cause.
This was an incident and it was not a war crime whatsover. It is not at all a pattern of behavior of our troops. In fact in a 3 years presence of our troops in Iraq we have a rare incident like this one where our military is consistently present and fighting in civilian centers, the rare type of these incidents is a miracle by itself, any other army in the world fighting this type of war would have committed much more than this rare incident, all this is a great testimony of the extreme discipline and professionalism of our troops.
God bless our troops.

Allegations of war crimes need to be investigated, and tried if there's evidence.
As with most military tasks, no one is better at this than the U.S. military.
I'm sick at the way the left is going to pounce on this, but there's nothing we can do about that.

Do you have a problem with this quote being reported?
Lance Corp. Ryan Briones was among the Marines sent in to recover the bodies, and he told the Los Angeles Times he is still haunted by what he saw, including a young girl who was shot in the head. "[The victims] ranged from little babies to adult males and females," Briones told the newspaper. "I can still smell the blood."
How exactly is this a "smear?"

This incident is a 'wait and see'. It could be very bad in many ways.I agree. I don't like the people on the left who are ready to convict. And I don't really care for a few on the right who say no crime could have possibly been committed. We'll have to wait and see.
To: Marli
I get the sneaking suspicion that these wounds will be from a Ak-47 and not an M-16. And if they are from a M-16 it was from a weapon that was not in the hands of a US Marine.

I'm pretty sure that that was one of the first things the investigators checked.

Did the Marine eyewitness say that others Marines killed the civilians? The media is going to make this incident, if it was true to start with, as if our military is committing mass suicide on a daily basis and that why we must be vigilant and fight their lies and defend our troops.
You are going to defend our troops from this coming liberal media offensive aren't you?

I can still smell the B.S. At some point, you are going to have to drop the ridiculous defenses and insults and realize that something very bad happened here, and it appears to have been covered up. There is way too much smoke for there not to be fire.
