The Commandant has gone to Iraq. The C, JCS addressed the issue over the weekend. The SecDef and W have addressed it today. If there were an iota of a chance that this did not happen, none of the things I just mentioned would have happened.

John Murtha is that you? Nonsense Lead. You are assuming that what you WANT to believe and projecting them onto events. How about this. Commandant went out there to talk to the people on the ground to find out what is REALLY going on instead of what the Junk Media spin is?

Curious how you KNOW the conclusion of a report when the Investigation isn't even done yet? BTW, did you bother to LISTEN to any of the people this Weekend them? They explained the process when ASKED about Hidatha. So NOW when one of the Junk Media types ASK a question and the Military Type response that is "proof" of a war crime?

Seriously reaching here Lead. Seriously projecting what you WANT to believe and claiming hearsay, rumor and happenstance as "Proof".

"If there were an iota of a chance that this did not happen, none of the things I just mentioned would have happened."
I am not sure how General Pace answering questions at a press conference or General Hagee flying to Iraq, or the POTUS answering questions about the alleged incident make the alleged crimes factual. Shouldn't we wait until the official facts come in on this matter? If your response is in reference to what DevSix and I have mentioned on a few threads about how quite often "innocent Iraqi" fully support for a number of reasons al Qaeda, Sunni radical Islamist groups, Saddamist, and others in attempting to kill US and coalition troops triggered your response. I simply was stating known facts that are clearly documented by scores of our military folks over the past three years.
But in my saying what I did I did discount the fact that perhaps some of the Marines may be found to have gone beyond their ROE.
We simply do not know the facts at this point. Besides. In todays politically charged world, if Pace or the POTUS have said nothing, then the L/MSM would be screaming about how they either don't care a damn or they have something to hide. So they have no option but to play along with the L/MSM.
If I where the POTUS. And least you forget. What responses have you heard from these two individuals. Have they not said, we should wait for the investigation to provide the real facts, and not get carried away with the different versions of what happened being perpetrated by the L/MSM?

You obviously don't recognize the leftist media's hatred for Bush, the WoT, and the Iraq war, nor the way they play the game.
