It will be a hot time when they get back the results of the autopsies and they are made public. Cause of death, shrapnel, bullets, time of death, calibre of bullets or type of shrapnel and composition of any explosives on the bodies of the dead.
Drudge says tonite that they've put eight Marines in solitary confinement at Camp Pendleton for this. Why even have a trial, they've already been adjudged in the press and abandoned by the Bush Administration in an attempt to please critics who can never be satisfied.
Doesn't matter - To the MSM it could be true!
. . .from whom?
This sounds like 'propaganda'; just do not know whom it is serving. . .the anti-American U.N. and et als'. . .or just the 'enemy' at-large. . .
He was instrumental in Pantano's defense, if for no other reason than he never waiver in Pantano's innocence before proven guilt. Guilt was far from proven, in fact DNA proved he could not have been involved! I suspect these Haditah Marines will also be exhonerated though the democrats and media lickspittlists will have crucified them long before acquittal. Savage is consumed by hate for Bush. Savagae hates Arabs, Moslems in particular, as the Dubai Ports ravings proved. Savage, as a Jew, was insane with hate for Bush even considering the deal.

Haditha Reporter Was Jailed By US, Shares Name With Source
June 1st, 2006
Given the breathless coverage (actually only repetition of the same paltry facts) from our one party media about the civilian deaths in Haditha, I am surprised that we have heard nothing about the curious background of one of the first journalists to report the story, Ali Omar Abrahem al-Mashhadani, from the "restive town" of Ramadi.
It turns out Mr. al-Mashhadani might not have felt the kindliest intentions towards the US, having been imprisoned for five months mere weeks before his Haditha scoop.
Al-Mashhadani was detained because images found on his camera and because of his t"ies to the insurgents," according to US officials.
Indeed, al-Mashhadani has since been detained by the US again, for two weeks. In fact he was only released today.
Oh, man... you are so right.
While showing the wound on her leg, the reporter says, "she showed us the shrapnel wound she received that day which she shall never forget."
Bookmarked for later
Thanks. :-)
That is one of the toughest part of being in the military. There is no chance for bail if you are accused of something. I dearly hope that the charges are NOT true!
"Savage is Savage's favorite charity. Don't trust a man who screams the president has given these soldiers up based on what the President has actually said. Savage is not the sanest carrot in the talk radio bunch."
I think I'll trust him (savage) before I trust you.
I may not believe EVERYTHING he sais, but I can discern for myself what's right and what's not.
Yes he gets a bit out of line at times, but he's right on most things he talks about and does support those who are fighting and dying for us.
I've found from listening to him that people who hate him and say things like this, are usually Red Diaper Doper Babies. Or, they can't stand the truth.
U.S. Launches Another Major Assault in Western Iraq
By Jackie Spinner
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 4, 2005; 11:03 AMBAGHDAD, Oct. 4 — The U.S. military Tuesday launched a second major assault in less than a week on cities in western Iraq in a hunt for foreign fighters whose attacks have increased in the weeks leading up to the Oct. 15 national referendum on a new Iraqi constitution.
About 2,500 U.S. troops and hundreds of Iraqi soldiers took part in the operation, codenamed River Gate, the military said in statements. The offensive centered on Haditha, Haqlaniyah and Barwana, Sunni cities located in the Euphrates River valley in western Anbar province. Meanwhile, Operation Iron Fist, another assault launched four days ago in the Qaimregion of Anbar province near the Iraqi-Syrian border continued, as troops searched for fighters connected to al Qaeda in Iraq who freely roamed the streets of Sadah and surrounding towns…
Mohammed Hadithi, the head of the Iraqi Red Crescent Society in Haditha, charged the U.S. troops violated the rights of residents during the assault. The Marines “neglected the humanitarian standards,” he said. “If the American people come and see the army they are proud of doing that to unarmed women and children, they would have disowned the army because those they are looking for have escaped hours before they came and attacked.”
His accusation could not independently verified.
At Haditha Hospital, Dr. Abdul Qaider Obaidi, said the Marines also broke into the hospital and searched the facility, arresting the director, Waleed Hadeethi and his assistant. Obaidi said the Marines accused the two men of treating al Qaeda fighters. “They are using the hospital as a base for the combat operations,” he added. Obaidi said he had no information about civilian casualties.
The American military said militants attacked the Haditha Hospital earlier this year with a suicide car bomb. More than half of the hospital was destroyed in the attack. Insurgents established fortified firing positions in the hospital and used patients and staff as human shields, the military said in a statement. “They attacked Marines from the hospital and later retreated from the Marine counterattack,” according to the statement…
This is the same guy. The reporter (Spinner) clearly mixed up the names. The doctor’s should be Waleed Obaidi, which is one of the many ways our hero spells his name.
Let's just say this. When Murtha went on one of his rants about this, he mentioned a woman with a child during this incident being gunned down "in cold blood as they pleaded for their lives." That is what I like to call a Muslim lie. Since it is permissible to lie to the infidels, the Muslim not only lies, but lies spectacularly. In their hearts, most Muslims who hear it don't really evaluate its veracity. If pressed, they probably don't believe it, but it's just all part of the mix for them. I have been suspicious of this thing from the beginning. I worry that we've been depending too much on testimony from Iraqis.
Very true about Muslims and lies to infidels. And Murtha was very happy to lap it up. The George Galloway of the States!
Well .. I'm still not buying it!
There are plenty of "insurgents" within Iraq who would love to embarrass us and cause another uprising of "bring the troops home now" mantra.
The actions by those who "witnessed" the incident .. wreaks of paid informant. And .. I suppose by now all the bodies have been cremated in order to COVER the evidence that the people WERE NOT SHOT by our military weapons - but might have been shot by Iraqi weapons..?? Hmmmmm ..??
And .. how do we know that the room was not full of insurgents .. holding these people hostage and just waiting in ambush for our soldiers to come by and start returning fire, and the insurgents attacked all the people in the house to make it LOOK LIKE our soldiers did it.
Can anybody answer these questions ..??
Sorry .. I'm still not buying it!
And the ones that don't have an agenda, like the little kids, have probably been threatened or had their remaining family threatened.

I heard and saw jorge just send those troops down river.
There are so many variations of name spellings, it's ridiculous, but it's the same guy.
Dr. Waleed/Walid Abdul Khaliq/Qaider al-Obeidi/Obaidi.
I believe the last name al-Obeidi means he's from the nearby town of Obeidi.
Haditha Hospital Director/"Chief"
Exactly. He is entertaining at times, but gets repetitive and boring. He is smart, but writing 20 books on vitamins and nutrition does not make him the genius he thinks he is.
