Ansar al-Sunnah in Iraq, in eight communiqués issued between Tuesday, November 28, 2006, and today, Thursday, November 30, claim responsibility for attacks targeting American forces in the cities of Haditha, Kirkuk, Heet, and Balad. Two of these operations, including the detonation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on an American CIA vehicle and truck carrier, were videotaped. Others, composed of sniper attacks and bombings of vehicles and barracks, were stated to be revenge attacks for American crimes in Haditha.
To put a face on the receiving end of these attacks, see here: Jefferson Co. Marine severely wounded in Iraq. To quote from the article at this link: "Cpl. Bradley Walker, a veteran reserve Marine, was driving a Humvee in Haditha, Iraq Monday when it hit an improvised explosive device. Both of his legs had to be amputated at the knees....[His father, Charles Walker] got the call Monday afternoon that his son was severely injured. He was devastated but thankful Bradley was alive. Walker says his son also had surgery on his pelvis and had to have his spleen removed to stop internal bleeding."
Let me know if you want to be on the Murtha / Haditha Marines Ping List.
For information on the Haditha Marines incident and the despicable behavior of Jack Murtha in denying them the presumption of innocence by going public last May and saying “…they killed innocent civilians in cold blood,” click on the links below.
This is absurdly transparent terrorist propaganda. They were going to run these attacks regardless of what happened at Haditha. This is just about PR. Now, it may incite people to join up with the insurgency, and as a recruiting tool, it may have some value. Still, I wouldn't trust an Ansar al Sunnah press release any more than I would one from Kim Jong Il.
Thanks for posting this Red. We must keep the pressure on.
That's really my point in posting this. Murtha went on numerous media outlets and was quoted around the world saying that Marines killed civilians in Haditha "in cold blood" and "there's no doubt about it". And he (and the media) attacked anyone who said that he was lending fuel to the terrorist fire.
Still, I wouldn't trust an Ansar al Sunnah press release any more than I would one from Kim Jong Il.
Does that mean you don’t believe that Kim has nukes? Ansar al-Sunnah may be taking credit for someone else's attack. Or maybe not. I have no real reason to doubt their story. Do you?
You're welcome, Justa. Keep the faith.

Thanks for the heads up.
This seems to be pretty conclusive evidence that his actions make him complicit in the killing of Americans. I hope that POS Murtha is proud of himself, I'm sure it doesn't bother him a bit.
