Odd coincidences ping.
Pay back?
They don't like to have American reporters covering Iraq.
Look what happened to Kevin Sites.
"They said the Marines opened fire on houses. "I saw a soldier standing outside a house and he opened fire on the house," said one resident, who did not want to be identified..."
That's a substantial difference than going into houses firing at "point blank" range in a "cold blooded fashion".
I wonder how Murtha failed to miss this in his initial trashing of the Marines when he called them cold blooded killers? Maybe his source failed to mention it to him.
Thank you. :-p
Thanks for the post....of course anyone with half a brain knew it was not as the MSM reported....I make that observation having been one who has been there and done that....that's why I know that kerry is a liar in the first degree....
Folks I truly believe that murtha is in all likelihood as big a liar and phoney as kerry.....it's about time for a FReeper to expose that wanabee....
Very interesting!
Question...has murtha signed his form 180 releasing his records... He smells like a compound coward to me.....
Believe this John Murtha can not and will never attend a Marine reunion again. The folks I have talked to call him a traitor.
Well, well, well...
Isn't THIS interesting?
Tahnks Coop.
PING-a-rama
The entire article is a good read -- especially the part about morning decapitations being televised -- and on DVDs in the marketplace that afternoon. (These scum claim they have "videotapes"?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A three-day visit by a reporter working for the Guardian last week established what neither the Iraqi government nor the US military has admitted: Haditha, a farming town of 90,000 people by the Euphrates river, is an insurgent citadel.That Islamist guerrillas were active in the area was no secret but only now has the extent of their control been revealed. They are the sole authority, running the town's security, administration and communications.
A three-hour drive north from Baghdad, under the nose of an American base, it is a miniature Taliban-like state. Insurgents decide who lives and dies, which salaries get paid, what people wear, what they watch and listen to.

...and -- I'd be willing to wager -- what propaganda stories the people tell -- well after the original event...
I think the Muslims are lying. It is their duty as Muslims to lie about the infidel. The little girl knew when the bomb was going to go off. She said that by accident on the CNN report. In her third telling of the story she said she was going to get ready for school and knew the bomb was going to go off so she covered her ears. I think she is living in a houseful of terrorists and they think that is just fine. I do not believe our Marines shot these people point blank. I think they may have our guns, taken from who knows where and they shot these people themselves all for the purpose of this kind of accusation. I know it might sound far fetched but I don't trust the Iraqi's one bit. I am waiting to hear of one of them HELPING our soldiers find the terrorists.
Not sure I follow you.
Wasn't he the reporter who filmed a young marine shoot a terrorist captured in a mosque? The whole media made a fuss but it turned out the kid thought he had a bomb?
Are you saying the military doesn't want American reporters in Iraq because they'll try and make them look bad? Too late!

Amen to exposing Murtha for what he is and there have been many FReepers supporting Diana Irey to help her oust him in November.
