I have come very close to spontaneously combusting, Red.

Of course, the Times has a story on the heels of good news regarding Phan. I didn’t expect any less from the traitors, I’m just surprised it took them this long to get their story printed. But I see they’ve switched batters. Where’s McSquirt? In Afghanistan for Easter?

Notice who the NY Times article blames

Col. R. Gary Sokoloski, a lawyer who was chief of staff to Maj. General Richard A. Huck, the division commander, approved a news release about the killings that investigators interviewing him in March 2006 suggested was “intentionally inaccurate” because it stated, contrary to the facts at hand, that the civilians had been killed by an insurgent’s bomb.

Capt. Jeffrey Pool was the Public Affairs Officer who wrote the press release. He allegedly told investigators that he had changed the wording about civilians being killed by the IED. The info given to him by the Marines from Haditha was accurate, but he modified it.

So now, there are two, Capt. Pool and Col. Sokoloski who admit they knew the wording of the press release was skewed against the enemy, not our Marines (shocking, isn't it?). But who's getting charged? Those much lower in the command.

I do hope Gen. Huck can begin to set this straight with his testimony. Do we want to win this war or not?
