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.
Next time, study the established opinion. Don't post anything that the ruling crowd hasn't already approved. Have a nice night.
At least my tagline makes sense.
Yours sure doesn't!
Seriously, I use this tagline for several reasons.
1) it's true
and
2) I thought it would preempt a bunch of losers accusing me of being a Bushbot.
Apparently, I was wrong about Number 2.
> Laura's putting on a brave face but behind closed doors, there's some friction.
What? How do you know this?
There are lies, there is mockery of God, there are false and brutal attacks on President Bush. Satan is at work in this country and on this forum.
But the battle belongs to the LORD, and we are not afraid. The call to prayer was to bring others to join in prayer for what was going on on this thread.
One last point..........one cannot have a 'different opinion' from a tabloid/DU rumor. There was NO opinion voiced...........just the spreading of an undocumented bit of gossip.
Any pretense that it was just 'an opinion' is poppycock.
floriduh voter reads THE GLOBE. Or has somebody read it to her.
Oh really!.......well my son and hubby couldn't be prouder that George Bush is their CinC......
Then I wish he would present a Commanding case before the people!
Wow...and on your first day on FR.
Hmmm, then many thousands of soldiers must know something you don't.
Welcome to Free Republic...how did you manage to register tomorrow?...lol
Unbelieveable some people just enjoy a good gossip does not matter whether they have facts but just love to speculate.
We are not disagreeing with 'an opinion'.......we are revulsed by the continuous posting of the same GOSSIP.
We don't believe The GLOBE, and we don't believe the articles on DU are 'opinions.' They are GOSSIP...........malicious, and unfounded, as is FV's GOSSIP.
Understand yet?
Oh, I'm not going to go back over it again. It kept getting bigger and bigger. It's just not worth it.
Why the evasion? Do you believe anything would be acceptable, or not? You don't seem to have any trouble saying it vaguely - why won't you say it directly? Don't really believe it? Just wanna sound resolute without actually having to explicitly acknowledge a morally indefensible position?
Then I wish he would present a Commanding case before the people!
Huh?
He is a strong and courageous Commander in Chief, and his troops respect him deeply.
When was the last time a prayer squad was summoned to a thread to ward off evil when you exercised your free speech rights?
Now have a nice night.
Did you hear his most recent interview? Pathetic in its stumbling, bumbling, lack of conviction. Couldn't convince anyone who listened that he was a commander in chief with that performance.
