War In Iraq: The press is salivating over the prospect of an Iraqi My Lai in the town of Haditha, with ABC trotting out Rep. John Murtha to brand U.S. troops war criminals just in time for Memorial Day.
Appearing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," and with the matter still under investigation, Murtha, D-Pa., decided it would be sentence first and trial later when he proclaimed Marines responding to an attack in the town of Haditha on Nov. 19 guilty of murder of at least 15 Iraqi civilians.
The incident began as a Marine convoy of Kilo Company, Third Battalion, First Marine Regiment, was passing through Haditha in the Iraqi province of Anbar. A roadside improvised explosive device (IED) went off, killing Lance Cpl. Miguel Terrazas, 20, of El Paso, who was on his second tour of duty.
According to Time magazine, an Iraqi civil rights group claims the Marines then barged into nearby houses, throwing grenades and shooting civilians randomly as they cowered in fear. Murtha believes the Time report. "I will not excuse murder," he said on ABC, "and this is what happened."
But Duncan Hunter, D-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who got all the briefings on the matter Murtha got, says the "in cold blood" allegations by Murtha are all wet.

they interviewed a few of the kids that survived, and one little girl said that she knew a bomb was going to off when the american convoy went by. This is suspect. She then said she wants the americans to be tortured, killed and to leave iraq. I smell something phishy here. I bet the entire family was harboring terrorist and triggermen.
More than a few accounts from "witnesses" stink to high heaven.
"they interviewed a few of the kids that survived, and one little girl said that she knew a bomb was going to off when the american convoy went by. This is suspect."
No doubt! The Marines were definitely on to something, and it lead them to that particular house. I wouldn't be surprised if the trigger device was in that very same house. For those of you who haven't heard about this, check out the video by going here and clicking on the "Haditha uncovered" link:

The video was shot by a "human rights" group, so it's no surprise that the little girl's (Eman Walid) statement about covering her ears before the explosion wasn't answered with a follow-up question. Good little Islamofascists in the making, aren't they? Especially the one with the rag on her head.
I may get banned for this, but here goes...
I hope Murtha catches a terrorist bullet, the sack of shit treasonous bastard.
ABC....AMERICA BITES COMMRADS
I saw tonight were ABC jumped all over this on the late news....insuating those NAZI G.I's...GO TO HELL ABC!
This is the reason we must not allow the Democrats to take over Congress. The Liberals are crazy and eager to jump to conclusions. We must arm ourselves and prepare to do battle anyway we can. These people are outright crazy!
If the citizenry of Haiditha is sitting idly by while a terrorist element in their midst is killing American soldiers and the citizens do nothing about it then they are no better than the people of Dresden and they deserve the same fate.
