I don't care what the media stories have been so far, he must counter that with some kind of message. he doesn't have to stand up there and say "they are innoncent", but the tone of what he did say could have been more along the lines of what I wrote.
Coulda shoulda woulda...
I'm glad he's President and you're not. No personal offense meant.
Millions of people all think they could do it better, and most of em disagree with each other.
I just disagree. On this, the Pentagon and the Marines are in the driver's seat when it comes to the actual investigation and any legal proceedings.
When it comes to public points of view about it, the Media drives it and now some Media are getting out a different slant on the events, if you've noticed.
The President had to comment something when asked, other than that he is right to stay on the level or plane he's on. He runs too much risk otherwise as there is something very strong in military law and command propriety that he, Rumsfeld, Pace and the others must observe. R & P are observing it, too.
We will never agree.
But then, we almost never do.
