President Bush needs to put an end to all these witch hunts and grant pardons to all American forces in Iraq.

That would only make the hunts intensify.

I just got done reading how one of the three officers allegedly relieved of command due to Haditha (and then we found out yesterday that WASN'T TRUE), he said in the weeks after the Haditha attack he met repeatedly with local Iraqi leaders. Nobody said a word about any civilian massacres.

Well, that's certainly inconvenient. It's amazing what happens to these cut and run "cold blooded murder" cases when the other side gets to tell its story.

Well...gosh, we won't have to worry about any more incidents will we...now that we are sending "sensitivity training units" over there to teach our troops...

how to NOT kill and break things...after all the money we have spent to TRAIN them to kill and break things.

Coop this is nothing more than a trap for our guys, the story changes everyday, little details like this one young girl account. How many BDU's have been reported stolen or missing, whos to say the moles from the Iraqi Army are not doing this dressed as Marines?

Safa Younis Salim, the 12-year-old, said she lay on the ground, covered with her sister's blood, and pretended to be dead while her family died around her. Her sister's blood spurted fast; it was like a water tap, she said.

Safa Younis (also seen spelled as Yunis) Salim.

There was one survivor, Safa Younis Salim, 13, who in an interview said she lived by faking her death. "I pretended that I was dead when my brother's body fell on me and he was bleeding like a faucet," she said.

Only 13-year-old Safa Younis lived -- saved, she said, by her mother's blood spilling onto her, making her look dead when she fell, limp, in a faint.

Twelve-year-old Safa says she survived by hiding under the bed.

Of course our marxist MSM which hates real American Warriors will never print nor talk about the other side of this story.
