BAGHDAD, Iraq A U.S. Marine has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing in last year's fatal shooting of a relative of Iraq's ambassador to the United States, a U.S. official said Wednesday.
The 21-year-old engineering student, Mohammed Sumaidaie, was killed during a search of his family's home near Haditha on June 25, 2005. U.S. authorities ordered an investigation after Samir Sumaidaie complained that his unarmed cousin had been shot in cold blood.
However, Maj. Douglas Powell, a U.S. military spokesman, said the Naval Criminal Investigative Service determined that the Marine "acted properly in self defense in response to unexpectedly encountering a man pointing an AK-47 at him."

So even the Iraqi Ambassador is given to smearing our Marines...... don't think we can ever trust anyone from these hellholes......

Not suprised. And after sh*tting on the Marines for weeks over Haditha, how much you want to bet that when they are acquitted, it's a one day story, page A6.

Great news and at least FNC is carrying the story but AP just had to get a few licks in on the other investigations, AP sucks.

What name have they given the incident involving the seven Marines and one Navy Corpsman at Camp Pendleton? You remember the ones that are currently being railroaded by politicians.
To: Chickenhawk Warmonger
With everyone "blasting" our military, hot and verbally, with accusations flying, Bush doesn't have to worry about pulling out. There will be no more volunteers or re-ups. JMO but we should have been out two years ago. I support the military and my being for pulling out is because I support them being alive. They should fight for American interests, not IRAQI, Muslims or any other country (especially not the UN).
Just call it a strategic withdrawal, leave plenty of ammo and weapons, then go back in two years and wipe out the winners. No matter when we leave, they will fight each other in the name of Allah, the moon god (Pat Robertson).

They should fight for American interests
I believe they ARE FIGHTING FOR AMERICAN INTERESTS.

Your reply makes no sense. IRAQ is no longer a terrorist state. Let them have their own self determination, government and fight for themselves.
Yes I believe we hit IRAQ for good reasons, there were WMD, 400 NUKE scientists in Lybia says it all. We won, we took out Saddam, he should have been shot and we should have pulled out. Sorry you feel I am against the military because I want them alive and out. If I were to go further, it would be they should be in IRAN; also let the Euros finance reconstruction, we did our bit.

Sorry you feel I am against the military because I want them alive and out. It has nothing to do with how I feel. Our troops will tell you quick and fast that if you do not support the mission you do not support them. Period.

Heck, not a surpise.
And but for you, I'd have missed it as I usually just have FNC on
in the background and just listen to it.
