You can take my statement any where you wish. I guess I wasn't very clear - my two word comment was meant as complete agreement with pissant (in that post and all his others on this topic).
I can't/won't condone or put up with the knee jerk condemnation of these marines on the basis of the hearsay in the MSM and also in consideration of the sources.
In another thread, Laura Ingraham was quoted as having said about the incident that her sources in the Pentagon say, "it's bad."
I responded in that thread that:
- I don't think we can/should make a judgement based on this sort of hearsay!
- 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.
When I read pissant's comment in post #25, i.e.,
I just pray that the Military does not give in to the MSM and "world opinion" and charge these guys just to get the heat off. But the Murtha-ization of the world's press is doing a full court press, and will not be satisfied with anything other than murder convictions.
