Remember SSgt Frank D. Wuterich: The last Haditha Marine goes on trial

“Eight Marines were charged. Seven have been cleared as the facts have been revealed. Now one more trial remains.” — Defend Our Marines

Welcome to 2012. The headlines will be awash in presidential politics this week, but I want to make sure you take note of the trial of SSgt Frank D. Wuterich set to open Wednesday. He’s the last of the Marines charged in connection to an alleged massacre of Iraqi civilians in the village of Haditha in 2005. The late corruptocrat John Murtha and the New York Slimes convicted and hanged the Marines in 2006 over the case before a single formal charge had been filed. Murtha slandered the troops before the world, declaring that “Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.” Then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama unabashedly backed Murtha’s smears. NYTimes reporter Paul von Zielbauer initially filed over 30 stories on the case, which the paper had hyped as the “defining atrocity” of the Iraq war.

And then: One by one over the last six years, the Marines were exonerated.

There could be no greater insult to the US military than to name a fighting vessel after one of the most corrupt, venal, and self-serving individuals ever to sit in the US Congress.

The problem is that Navy SEAL Captain Bailey is appealing to SecNav Ray Mabus, who himself is a corrupt sleazebag.

Pray for America.

Awhile back, I heard from someone who lives in Somerset County that the airport there, named after Murtha, was used mainly by him and his cronies. I don't know if this has changed since Murtha died, but I was told folks who live in Johnstown who want to fly out had to go to Pittsburgh to catch a flight there. Why? Because the only ones allowed to use it were Murtha and his buddies! I was told the military was chased out of the airport and I also remember hearing that some of the radar was disconnected. Can anyone on this thread verify any fo this? That airport cost the taxpayers millions. It's criminal!

I was on a blog with some Marines after news they were going to name the ship after Murtha and one commented they should call the ship “cold blooded killers.”. It is disgraceful!

And the list of Murtha’s terrible actions goes on and on.

I hope PA Freepers will read your post #22 and provide an update on the airport. Would be interesting to see a video of the airport to see if it is being used.

If it is true that the radar has been disconnected, perhaps the airport is now used for drug running???

Thanks for the ping!

You are right about that! I think Capt Bailey had to start somewhere though. See what Veterans in Defense of Liberty and Senator Blunt have been up to regarding Mabus and the naming of ships:

I'm hopeful that Capt Bailey, Dr McGill and all Veterans will continue to raise their voices in outrage so that their brothers will not have to serve on a ship named after a corrupt Ex-Marine!

If its the airport I’m thinking of in Johnstown, it’s an Air National Guard site..so no, no public fights...

[Lancey Howard]

Thanks for the update. It sounds like there’s hope!

I went on orbitz and tried to book a flight into Johnsotwn from O’Hare and all flights land in Pittsburgh. These stories are from 2009 on the Murtha airport.

Murtha didn’t need an airport to arrive at his present destination. Bob

[bevperl]

Yes, many many prayers for Sgt Wuterich. I don't mean to distract from this brave Marine. I'm disgusted with the evil and corrupt Murtha, who attempted to destroy men who risked their lives to keep us all safe. I hope it is hotter than Hades where he has landed.

This nightmare needs to end promptly for this Marine and his family. They are in my prayers.

Excellent post and article, Lakeshark.

I've posted a link to it on our Haditha Master Thread...

Thanks SueRae. At least the Air National Guard will get to use it, even though it was meant to be for public use.

Sorry about the double post. Just don’t know how I manage to do that sometimes.

But anything to keep this thread at least somewhat active for SGT.Frank Wuterich! Keeping him in my prayers for freedom. God Bless him and all our Military heroes, past and present!

[bevperl]

Thanks Sue Rae. If the military is using this airport, then that is good news. Sounds like a nice airport and I can’t think of any group more deserving of nice things than our military. Thank you again for the info.

[SueRae]

I went to the website...and it is LARGELY Air National Guard...with a small flight schedule to Dulles only./?/ It looks like it serves both purposes..perhaps not so much now that Murtha is gone.
