They must be feeling it is them against the world by now. We have to let them know that is not so.

Let me know what I can do. I'm with ya!

I am assuming the one word answer to my question is "polls"

I have no further comment for you.

Rasmussen from 5/11:

"Fifty-one percent (51%) now believe the situation in Iraq will be seen as a failure in the long run. Just 34% believe it will be seen as a success.

Thirty-six percent (37%) of Americans believe the U.S. is safer today than it was before 9/11. Forty-six percent (47%) disagree.

Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Americans believe things will get better in Iraq over the next six months. Forty-nine percent (49%) believe they will get worse. A month ago, 31% expected things to get better."

See anything you like there?

The intended accusation in this line is just so full of malignant stupidity that it really p!$$es me off. What did this reporter expect!?! A pile of dead bodies with bullet wounds to the knee and pinkie?!? Marines fired their weapons and people died. People die when wounded in the head an chest. And survivors (with or without bullet wounds) don't have autopsies done on them. The reporter's intention is to imply execution.

Yes, it really pi$$ed me off, too. She was feeding these accusations to the bleeding heart lefties who are sure to lap it up and nod their heads because this is what they've expected (after much propaganda, Kerry Swift Boat style) for so long.

The media has been trotting out the footage of the 9 year old witness. Surprise...not IIRC, she said the Marines burst in while her father was praying. If what she says is what she remembers, what are the chances they were terrorists dressed as Marines?

It seems a little too pat. Either insurgents posing as marines or insurgents hiding behind children provoking marines, and, as I've said, making sure to leave terrorized children alive to tearfully retell their (the insurgents) story. Just her wording. She doesn't seem like a 9yo retelling a horrific event (we've seen them on TV before, children retelling catastrophic events). It seems odd at best. And the 'coincidence' of Kerry pushing his agenda against the Swift Boat Vets, with this story so eerily similiar - I'm not ready for a tinfoil hat, but the timing is odd.

It is beyond treasonous what the MSM is doing right now. I am going to work my tail off to see they are held responsible for this crap.

I think Haditha is next for cleaning out. Did you see Airborne's post that out of 50K people, only 100 went to vote, due to the terrorist hold of the city?

Simultaneous raids on Ramadi & haditha would suit me just fine.

I'm behind you on this! It just really riles me up. It is exactly that, treasonous. And it gets me, too, (maybe you've encountered this) the sheeple who drink it in and nod to each other, ignoring all the good they hear and focusing on this purported 'evil' of our troops. I run into them everyday. My friend and I can't civilly discuss it. See? I'm still torqued off about it.

And I'm thinking this whole episode is looking fishier and fishier. The media knows it is, and is still beating the drum. Grrrrrr.

The Time report.

Nope, don't have it right: ) You have:
They said what killed them was shrapnel from an IED, then changed to a propane tank explosion, then changed to bullets.

I think the propane tank explosion, caused by the grenade, could very well be the aforementioned IED......which, if true, means they didn't change their story..... An IED does not need to be buried in the ground and hit a Humvee. And IED is an IED.

I rather think his mother was scared out of her wits for him... and ran to the media.

Just for the record. Ohio Reserve Marines were ambushed in August. All killed. Weapons confiscated.
