If the MSM especially the WaPo) is printing stories like this, I am inclined to believe they may be sitting on more exhonorating info. The "another My Lai", "hang 'em high" crowd is going to suffer a serious backlash on this story when all is said and done.

And just think they haven't even finished the investigation.

A Marine who served near Haditha in November said it was not unusual for Marines to respond to attacks "running and gunning" and that it was standard practice to spray rooms with gunfire when threatened. "It may be a bad tactic, but it works," he said. "It keeps you alive."

I'm sorry, the left will have an absolute field day with this!

Every Liberal should be forced to watch the movie Rules Of Engagement (Samuel Jackson).... What we are up against is a brutal enemy that will use civilians as shields in an attempt to kill our soldiers....

"War is Hell". This is not a police action.

We put a bulls eye on Daschle in 2004, we need to do the same with this bastard Murtha, I have given to Diana Irey's campaign, and will do so again.

They'll try. Most people, however, will mock them and ask, "WTF kind of hazards do you have in your job, aside from menacing paper cuts?"

I don't want to hear anything about Woodruff, Dozier, and Bloom. The insurgency doesn't specifically target reporters. In fact, they need them to spread their propaganda. Our forces can't just call a timeout and retreat to a Baghdad hotel when thing things get tough.

Of course they will- they have no comprehension of what war is- how it's carried out, and how it's WON. Nevertheless, they enjoy the results of warriors past and present.

If a tactic keeps a Marine alive, but slightly increases the chance of collateral damage, the Left will cry "War Crime!".

If Marines try to play nice and end up in bod bags, the Left will cry "Quagmire!".

If the Military takes out a terrorist with an airstrike, the Left will cry "Deprivation of Due Process!"

If the Intelligence community foils a plot, the Left will cry "We're Losing Our Civil Liberties!"

The only exception to this is if the action is being taken in support of a Socialist or Muslim regime (like in Bosnia). Then the MSM will call it justified.

Any way you cut it, the Left wins.
