And to me, that's all that matters. The rest can just go back to watching Oprah and American Idol, while the real heroes go out and make a difference.
Personally, I am disgusted and have zero respect for Murtha and the MSM. Whose side are they on?
I agree...Damon was defending the marines...She doesn't believe the charges...
But that one probably won't make it to Headline News...
I'm shocked that there haven't been 100 Hadithas. War is hell.
"Whose side are they on?"
the same side they were on during the Viet Nam war.
Against the war, against the military and against America!
The Left are socialists & communists.
Great Post Ping!
Agreed.
" But that one probably won't make it to Headline News..."
Wholeheartedly ... agreed.
"I'm shocked that there haven't been 100 Hadithas. War is hell."
"shocked?"
well if you had ever been in combat much less uniform;
you would know that Marines are trained professional combatants and we don't fly off the handle and murder!
Ya might want to get out of Hollyweird and away from the Lefties in the film industry and spend a little more time with Marines!
A large dose of reality would do ya a world of good! LOL

That being said, I don't believe this "massacre" occured as the libs are telling it. Were they there? No.
I'll wait for the facts to come out, but I haven't believed Murtha's take on this since he first started spewing it.
"Audio of radio traffic that day reportedly contradicts Rep. Murtha's claim that the Marines did not come under small-arms fire after the roadside explosion"
drip,drip,drip...
And just like the Marine who, according to the LSM, "murdered" an Iraqi who was "playing dead";
I predict that these Marines will also be exonerated.
Semper Fi,
Kelly
possible candidate for most senseless comment of the day.
As difficult as it will be to vote for the GOP, THE ONLY reason I will vote this NOVEMEBER is to HONOR our Military! I will NOT be a part of turning my back on their sacrifice by voting AGAINST my party because they have come up so lame on so many issues.
It is FOR THEM [our men and women in the Military] that I will vote against any Democrat on the ballot. Our troops deserve the best of everything, and I firmly believe the GOP is light years better than the Dims in the DEFENSE of OUR NATION.
:)Easy Does It:)
I suspect that it is the second case. The terrorists killed the people then immediately went to the media. This pattern has occurred over and over again with "Mosque attacks" and "Wedding Parties". Al Jeezera always blames the US military and the MSM jumps on this before our military even has a chance to respond. When the facts do come out, reasonable people (excluding Dean/DNC, Amnesty International, ANSWER, Move On and the other professional America haters) usually see through the BS.
The USMC is the most effective and admired fighting force in the world. In order for the terrorists to beat them, it must be done politically and here at home.
For the left, everything is another Vietnam. That is when they were happiest and most demonstrated their skills as "useful idiots".
A fact overlooked by the main stream media and the left wing blow hards is that these same laws of war prohibit using civilians and civilian objects and facilities as cover. The blame for the Haditha deaths lies with those initiating hostilities, the terrorists, not those responding.
i'm thinking that in a city of 90,000 and only 150 people voted in the last election that there must be 1 of 2 things happening here: 1. there is a huge amount of fear and intimidation from the enemy to the populace that they would be less than honest as to what really happened on that day out of fear of reprisals or...2. there is a huge amount of anti-American sentiment there that they would exagerate this story to cause a huge backlash back home against our brave fighting men over there. Just a thought that crossed my mind.
Democrat Rep. John "leftist meme prostitute" Murtha thinks he knows the truth about Haditha -- and he has been blabbing it to every last cable show host that will pimp him...
