RS is pig ignorant about Haditha but comes on these threads to say the Marines are guilty.
Regarding his post above, anyone following this case knows that RS is wrong.
In fact, a lieutenant was on the scene and he gave the order to clear the houses. This has been established numerous times, including by the lieutenant's own testimony in the hearings.
All of the regulars on these threads strive to them informative, constructive, and cordial. Trolls aim to disrupt that. The best response is to ignore them and hope they'll go away. So, again, I ask...
“RS is pig ignorant about Haditha but comes on these threads to say the Marines are guilty.”
You are a liar - I have never said the Marines are guilty.
“In fact, a lieutenant was on the scene and he gave the order to clear the houses. “
According to Wuterich, during the 60 minutes interview I reviewed moments ago, The Lt. was NOT on scene during the “2 or 3 shots” that came “from the south”
The Lt. would have had NO first hand knowledge of the events that led to the authorization of the clearing of the house.
Since Wuterich is on trail, it would seem that the details of the converstaion in which he convinced the Lt. to authorize the clearing of the house might be of importance.
“All of the regulars on these threads strive to them informative, constructive, and cordial.”
Well lets just see - After some digging I found YOUR post of the orignal 60 minute interview -

( and thanks for being so informative, constructive and cordial by directing me to it </sarcasm> )
You note Wuterich’s mention of the 2 or 3 sporadic shots that led him to believe that the house to the south “was only logical place the shots could have come from” BEFORE Kallop arrives on the scene. Wuterich also agreed that he NEVER saw any fire coming from the house.
Wuterich obviously filled in Kallop on the situation and Kallop gave the order to clear the house, with NOONE making a PID, as defined by Wuterich -”It means that you need to be able to positively identify your target before you shoot to kill”
Now turning to the Washington Post, which eveyone seems to hate since they have a copy of the reports -
“Kallop told investigators he began to receive enemy fire almost immediately.””Salinas then stated that he could see the enemy so Kallop told them to ‘take the house,’ “
So we have Wuterich’s own words, which appear to look badly for him vs. the MSM WashPost writings, which everyone hates, as giving him some cover.

One could also wonder why Wuterich put dots on different buildings as being the ones they cleared, although the one he put the first dot on IS closer to the road then the houses they cleared.

... and you wonder why people are seeking answers ?
