A preliminary military inquiry found evidence that U.S. Marines killed two dozen Iraqi civilians in an unprovoked attack in November, contradicting the troops’ account, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.
President George W. Bush said he was troubled by news stories on the November 19 killings of men, women and children in the town of Haditha, and a general at the Pentagon said the incident could complicate the job for the 130,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.
“Allegations such as this, regardless of how they are borne out by the facts, can have an effect on the ability of U.S. forces to continue to operate,” Army Brig. Gen. Carter Ham, deputy director for regional operations for the military’s Joint Staff, told a Pentagon briefing.

How dare you say that Mrs. Bush doesn't like her husband's reputation being harmed? Everyone here seems to agree that she loves it. It's blasphemy to say otherwise.

There's many, many grapevines in Washington but the majority have diseased fruit hanging from them.

Yep! Right off the bat you can see that's a troubled marriage. LOL.
The world would be a better place if all the really troubled ones were just half that good.
