the Left is doing the same thing today that they did during the Viet Nam war.

They smear the military and say we're losing the war.
When in reality, we never lost a major battle during the Viet Nam war and we haven't lost one in Iraq.

All the Left is interested in is propaganda, smearing the military and America!


Semper Fi,
Kelly

This guy is a wanta be student. Kinda old for a student reporter. He should work for the New York Times!!
Murtha is a piece of trash. WHen the truth comes out is he going to unshackle our Marines? I think he will hope all blows over. Thanks for the ping. [Mrs T]

Rush mentioned this article and made a comment, what if this Haditha thing really is a set-up my jihadists??? I would love to see a MSM outfit actually do research on that and blast Time in the process.

I called my critters and a couple others, regarding the shackling of our troops with NO charges filed against them.

WARNER, sinator, VA: "It's being debated now."

DEBATED!!!

WHAT is to debate? NO CHARGES = shackles and solitary confinement!

ALLEN: Was JUST on a c-spam radio show discussing this. Apparently he supports a congressional investigation. Had no answers regarding the shackles on our INNOCENT until proven guilty Troops.

FORBES, Rep. 4th district: Intern (I think) was unsure of any action taken, but did say they have received a LOT of calls.

Two other critters I called were unaware of the situation! (at least those answering the phones)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting ... Remove the shackles! Innocent until proven guilty!

People like you demonstrate to me and many others that this time around is NOT like Vietnam. We're fighting back, and not sitting idly by.

There is a lot of evidence that suggests Rush is right. I'm just about convinced it was a staged event.

Good link-no smoking gun, but lots of cause for reasonable doubt.

assuming is a two-way street."


True and right now there's a lot of it going on on both sides of this debate. Wonder if we'll ever find out what really happened?

"Isn't doubt in our military exactly what Murtha/Kerry/Boxer et al really want to create? They still dream of the '60s hippy concerts and street demonstrations and the miserable way they caused us to lose in Vietnam"


Newsflash: Murtha, although jerky in his opinion here, was not a 60s hippie but a Marine in 'Nam. The guy served America for 37 years, retiring from the Marine Corps Reserve as a colonel in 1990. Feel free to disagree with his opinion but I seriously doubt he "dreams of 60s hippy concerts" nor did he "cause is to lose Vietnam", as he was there fighting it.

Thank you!

I was proud to serve with some of the finest Marines the Corps has ever produced.

And you couldn't be prouder of the Marines that are serving in Iraq today. Some have two & three PH's and have made two & three tours and continue to request to be sent back with their units in Iraq.
That is why I find it unbelievable that these Marines committed cold blooded murder.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Yes, in due time. Every day we draw closer to the truth.

Time has already published 2 unobtrusive "corrections" to their reporting "errors", and blogs like Sweetness & Light have been busy filling in timelines, piecing together the puzzle, and exposing media ommissions.

FWIW, I'd trust this father's opinion over just about anyone in the MSM. You can't be imbedded in a unit with your son and not know what happened during missions such as the one conducted at Haditha.

You don't know the details of Murtha's service, do you? Let's just say it was very "Kerryesque".

True...but he didn't arrive to that unit until January, about 6 weeks after whatever happened at Haditha occurred.

Captains do lead the company, 1Lts are second in command, the Executive Officer.

Propaganda? Faux News? Interesting choice of words.

Looks like we have another live one.
