Laura Ingraham saying her sources in the Pentagon say it's bad. I think some Freepers are putting their heads in the sand, rather than realizing that what makes us GREAT is that when such atrocities occur with our fighting forces, WE identify it, WE prosecute it, WE try it, and WE address it.

I don't see the N. Koreans or al-Qaeda interested in trying anyone for atrocities they commit.

WE identify it, WE prosecute it, WE try it, and WE address it.

This is very true and I have no problems with the prosecution of memebers of the military who are guilty of crimes. Of course the sources say it looks bad. At this point, I don't think they have much more detailed information than is already known. On the surface, it doesn't bode well. I'm anxious to see what transpires. Problem is...we'll never get any solid info on the incident without rancor from either side.

I think what most freepers are doing is saying that those Marines are innocent until proven guilty.

We've all seen this playbook before and they wouldn't be the first Marines charged with premeditated murder in Iraq only to be found innocent.

Putting their heads in the sand why? Because we won't pronounce guilt before the learning the facts? Hand me a shovel, and I'll put the rest of my body in there as well.

Some Freepers are sniveling water-boys for the MSM.

Most support these Marines no matter what.

Professor, did GI's in the big one take their Brownies with them and sell the photographs to LOOK?

This story is walking BS.

Even if every bit of it is true, the onus is on the insurgent and radical Baathist to not get in a fire-fight in the presence of their families. It's a no brainer, they shouldn't try to prove Darwin's theory in battle.

Add one more: WE play right into the hands of those that wish to destroy our nation.

Good morning.
"I think some Freepers are putting their heads in the sand"

I think what ticks some of us off is the apparent eagerness of many in the MSM, and in some here, to believe that the Marine are guilty of a massacre.

There is no assumption of innocence even with the Media and the Left's record of lying through their teeth.

We will know the truth eventually.

WE are GREAT big damn fools!

The genuine and undeniable atrocities committed by our enemies are accepted,expected, and justified by our own and the world MSM, the UN and ninety nine percent of the world governments. Any alleged incident by our troops,though minor by comparison to those committed routinely and regularly by all our enemies and 90 percent of our allies, is blown out of proportions.

Let's either support our troops and their right of survival as well, or get the hell out of the war business and into the business of waving white flags and kissing ass.

[eleni121]

well Laura may have her "sources" but Laura's primary mission is her own ratings and a CYA mentality that infects most MSM including so called conservative MSM.

My money and soul stays firmly in place with the heroes the Marines. Why would I believe stuff printed in the NYSlimes when most of it is lies and propaganda for the benefit of the democraps and internationalist Socialist third way cabal?

[delacoert]

...her sources in the Pentagon say it's bad.

I don't think we can/should make a judgement based on this sort of heresay!

Bad might mean that there is so much political intervention (Pentagon COA, US politics, and/or international politics) that it's going to be difficult to get evidence and/or a fair hearing.

Even if there was more meat than the comment "it's bad", I would still shut my mouth and wait for the trial.

I didn't hear/read Laura's comments, but I'm much more prone to make a negative judgement about her than the marines.

I think some Freepers are putting their heads in the sand, rather than realizing that what makes us GREAT is that when such atrocities occur with our fighting forces, WE identify it, WE prosecute it, WE try it, and WE address it.

Bogus premise. There's no contradiction between saying on the one hand that everyone is innocent until proven guilty...and if proven guilty, offenders should bear the consequences. If anything, I believe some Freepers are rushing to judgment, throwing Marines under the bus based upon media reports.

Why is it that willingness to assume the worst makes us great, but presumption of innocence does not?

[Just A Nobody]

WE identify it, WE prosecute it, WE try it, and WE address it.

Ahhh yes, but do WE address it, do WE try it, do WE prosecute it, BEFORE WE identify it?
