The complex ambush in Haditha: November 19, 2005
(Major thanks to Freeper (and map wizard) RS
who found all the coordinates!)

All this information was available to Congressman John Murtha before his cold-blooded killer slander on May 17, 2006.

This information was also leaked to the media more than a year ago. But they suppressed it in favor of a lie about a massacre.

For more, see...

Staged Atrocities is an old guerrilla warfare tactic. Simply sickening that the US Military JAG’s are so hide bound in their fashionable PC thinking that they cannot be bothered to learn even the simplest things about how Counter Insurgency differs from Total War.

Lest we forget...

Well, with the closing of the SSgt Frank Wuterich Article hearing, the investigation into the enlisted Marines is now officially over.

Read the investigating officer's reports for yourself (pdf formats): SSgt Frank Wuterich, LCpl Stephen Tatum, and LCpl Justin Sharratt.

They are not killers. Defend our Marines.

Thank you again for your diligence!

inquiry prepared by US Army Maj. Gen. Eldon A. Bargewell is an obscure Marine Corps intelligence summary (see pdf) that says the deadly encounter was an intentional propaganda ploy planned and paid for by Al Qaeda foreign fighters.

Well known by many for over a year!

Our media, the enemy within

Yep ..... the ENEMEDIA

Is there such a thing as treasonous sedition? Or do I have to pick one or the other? Murtha and members of the enemedia should get a fair trial, followed by a first class hanging!

Another excellent article by Nat Helms. He uses information that was available to the NCIS agents investigating the case and JAG prosecutors pursuing the case against these Marines to show al Qaeda was deeply involved in the event but ignored that evidence. The NCIS and JAG prosecutors should be held accountable.

Veteran military defense attorney Gary Meyers said he never understood why the Naval Criminal Investigative Service special agents leading the Haditha criminal investigation didn’t "examine the linkage" between Al Qaeda, the local insurgency and the events at Haditha.

SECNAV Winter should require a thorough investigation of the NCIS. If he doesn't require that, he should be fired from his position and replaced by someone who will investigate the total ineptness of the NCIS and this investigation of the Haditha Marines.

Democrats Chastise Limbaugh for Insulting Troops

Oct. 6, 2007

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has introduced a “Bill of Attainder” against conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh for “usurping the prerogatives of congress.” The flap started when Limbaugh characterized self-proclaimed war hero and war critic, Jesse Macbeth, a “phony soldier.”

“It is not for Mr. Limbaugh to say who is or isn’t a soldier,” Reid said. “Nor should he be casting aspersions on brave men like Jesse Macbeth for their outspoken opposition to the atrocities committed by our troops. Congress is the judge of these matters.”

Reid asserted that “the testimony of soldiers like Macbeth has been corroborated by many others.” “Senator Kerry (D-Mass.) has informed me that our troops have been terrorizing women and children in the dead of night,” Reid went on. “Congressman Murtha (D-Pa.) pointed out that our Marines have been killing civilians in cold-blood. I have heard similar stories from Senator Durbin (D-Ill.) and Senator Obama (D-Ill.).”

As it turns out, Macbeth who claimed to have been an Army Ranger was in the Army only 44 days and never served in Iraq or Afghanistan. The lack of actual participation in the war did not stunt Macbeth’s imagination. He described how he and other U.S. Army Rangers slaughtered Muslims as they prayed in a Baghdad mosque.

Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) cautioned that we “not rush to dismiss Macbeth’s account of atrocities just because he embellished his war record.” Harkin said boasting about one’s military service is “a harmless vice” akin to “fishermen’s tales of the one that got away.”

Harkin once claimed to have flown combat missions in Vietnam, only to later be forced to admit that he only flew into Vietnam on a few occasions to “sample the ‘killer weed’ and get some action with ‘hot Asian babes.’”

Reid’s bill calls for Limbaugh to be permanently banished from the airwaves and to perform two million hours of community service helping non-English speakers register to vote.

You are right, it is both, much as it was the same to appoint an incompetent JAG to defend my nephew.

Red, was this the presentation that was created for McGirk, that he failed to appear for? As someone remarked, he went to where he could get the story he wanted to tell, nothing close to the truth.

If so, this is damning evidence that will only help SSgt. Wunterich's case against Murtha; and I would hope that the rest of the prosecuted Marines likewise sue Murtha, McGirk, and TIME.

Bears repeating! Same goes for NCIS, politicians, the media and everyone else who failed America in this travesty.
