Ping for info from LtCol. Chessani’s legal team.

Why does he inflame the enemy with comments “Bring it On” and “Were Kicking Ass”. I would prefer the terms “We brought it on and won” and “We Kicked Their Ass”.

[mathluv]

I thought that I heard he did NOT say that.

I thought that I heard he did NOT say that.

Believe I heard on Rush today that he did NOT say that---don't have the source, but if I can find it I'll post it.

[Orange1998]

It’s all over the internet. Who is saying it did not happen.

[freema]

Oh my gosh, inflame the enemy!?!?!did Bush really say we're kicking ass??!! If he did or didn't, who gives a crap. Did murtha and the NY Times say our Marines were murderers in a massacre of epic proportion? Yes, they did.

[YHAOS]

"Despite the exoneration of Marines actually involved in the fighting in Haditha on November 19, 2005, three senior Marine officers, MajGen Richard Huck, Col Robert Sokoloski, and Col Stephen Davis have been administratively censured by the Secretary of the Navy for their involvement in the Haditha events."

Ho-Hum. Another 'process crime' It's the only thing the America-Haters can hit us with.

Ok, I'm sorry, don't know the rules about posting from another source, but this is from Rush's site today. The quote was from McDermott.

MCDERMOTT: "We're kicking ass in Iraq," might be the headline of the report the White House is writing for General Petraeus to deliver to the Congress next week.........

Notice the word "might". The President never said it You can read the whole comment and Rush's reply on www.rushlimbaugh.com under "Bush Skunks Democrats Again"

Exactly! I say we should inflame the enemy, we could kill more of them that way.

Also, if it's all over the Internet it must be true. /sarc

I not saying he said it or not. Many reports are claiming he said it and the rumors will keep flying. I personally don’t think he said it but if he did he misspoke.

How about “We are Kicking their Asses, and taking Names”

[freema]

That said, I'm really glad the defense is kicking ass!

The question must be asked: Why, now that the facts are coming out in favor of the Marines, has this action been taken?”

[brityank]

Inflame away! I don’t know if it’s exactly correct or not, and I don’t care. It matches the attitude we should have.

[roses of sharon]

Yep, I recall that day, he had just left the Marines in his visit, they probably loaded him up with testosterone!!

And I like it, lol!

[Shelayne]

Exactly! That is what I want to know!

So good, I had to emphasize it.

[Orange1998]

I have to disagree. It not a good comment to say when our men and women are still dying. The family of any member of the arm forces would not feel that way if a member of the family dies.

Or as the Thomas More Law Center put it "President Bush Brags We're Kicking Ass (Winning, Making Strides, Doing a Great Job, You Fill In the Blank)- His Secretary of the Navy Censures Those Who Are Doing the "Kicking""

Good Point! Why?
