24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq

As always the media intentionally gets wrong the number of civilians, totally forgetting proof of insurgents, not just in Wuterich's squad's engagement, but involved in a general plan of attack that day throughout Haditha. It's all on the eye in the sky.

There was no dereliction of duty on Chessani's part, but I'm betting they want Chessani to contest this, so they can lay some other trap for him.

Two investigations found no dereliction. Trials have had no convictions. Charges have been thrown out.

This witch hunt is probably over because Murtha has his hands full trying to stay out of jail for corruption.

I couldn’t agree more with the both of you. They tried hard to nail him with a prison sentence, they at least failed with that.

Their filing charges in the first place to please the likes of Murtha still ticks me off. Still love Marines, not so much the Corps leadership.

I think AG Holder ought to bring those Marines up on charges in front of the UN International Court.

Hiya, Red. Would’ve waiting longer and let you ping but didn’t know if you’d be here til tonight.

You’d think they’d see the hand writing on the wall with SSgt Wuterich but it looks like they’re going to go through with the CM, the prosecution should be horse whipped.

Good point, Chappie. Both Perry and Walker can’t quite come to post the truth when it comes to those killed at Haditha, some of them were armed insurgents and one of them nearly killed LCpl Sharratt.

It brings a smile to my lips that Murtha is having to worry about staying out of a federal prison, I hope he squirms and lays awake nights thinking about it.

Certainly not as grim as things once looked. Thanks for the heads-up.

You can. We don't need you around here, anyway. We'll help you pack.

Oh, wait....you're armchair general-ing it from your comfortable home in the US, without really knowing what's going on, aren't you?

Never mind.

The local police chief should send a letter to Murtha, explaining that police protection for him and his family is terribly complex and beyond the scope of the police department’s capabilities, and that because Congressman Murtha is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, and is Chairman of its Defense Subcommittee, they are therefore transferring responsibility for his family’s protection and emergency needs to the United States Marine Corps.

OK, so Christians are not being persecuted there.
OK, the Iraqi govt has offered to pay a dime of their own way.
OK, there was not just a major split in the govt over there.

Thanks for clearing that all up.

People that actually know about Islam, know that no form of “moderate” Islam is coming to the rescue as the Islamic world is getting stricter.

The Iraq war has not slowed down the march of Islam across the West one bit. The US is now more Sharia compliant than before the war. The US soldiers that I speak to online know that Islam itself is the problem and that democracy in the Middle East does not change the religious views of Muslims. Unlike you, in your look at me....look at me fantasy land, they see the truth.

But you go ahead an insult me as that is all that you have.

You will see reality when we leave.

Yes, it is great news for seven out of the eight that have so far been exonerated (for the most part) after being persecuted for doing teir jobs.

Can we leave now?

Whose we, you got a turd in your pocket? Smartass remarks are not appreciated on threads regarding the Haditha Marines.

It is not a smart ass remark towards the Marines. It is called facing the reality off the Islamic world.

Non-Muslims are not going to dictate to the Islamic world what Islam is. No non-Muslims can do that.

Oh, now perhaps it’s not politically expedient to pursue charges?
