JagHunter has excellent coverage of the Haditha mess. I hope our guys come out on top. I wish Bush would give limited pardons to our guys because it’s become too divisive an issue. If Lieutenant Calley can be pardoned then so should they.

Hogwash.

Exoneration, dismissal of all charges by General Mattis, it's the only way to end this travesty with honor and protect and defend the future of these Marines and the USMC itself.

There is no place in this for President Bush.

Well, Calley was Nixon’s pardon, and Nixon isn’t in office anymore.

That pardon was wrong, but on the other side of the issue a lot of the people calling for Calley’s head were just the pot calling the kettle black. And Captain Medina was completely railroaded - even a famous liberal lawyer was willing to step in to defend him.

Darryl, I understand your pride in your son, my son too is a Marine. I understand your frustration with the public at large. At an event this spring my Blue Star Mother wife and I were seated with a couple of limp wrist libs (you make the best of it). Mrs. Limp Wrist asked me, upon learning that my son stands in the breach, "How do you feel about that?" I stated, "I hope he makes neat round dots in terrorist foreheads." Mrs. LW's eyes got big, conversation ceased and it was actually a pleasant event from then on.

Will Powers: If Lieutenant Calley can be pardoned then so should they.

I have come to the conclusion that terrorist sympathizers (All Democrats and the MSM) in our country want to make sure that in the future, people will be able to name more than one face associated with "atrocities" in "Bush's" war. Think about it, the overwhelming majority of Americans, if they are asked to name a Vietnam "atrocity" say Calley. There are no others because in truth, there were few or none others. This kind of deflates the left wing trash's (like dishonorable Murtha)contention that our military turns normal young men into violent murderers. Abu Grab (I know I spelled it wrong) easily rolls off the tongues of the uninformed. The trash want to make sure that Haditha and other manufactured "crimes" just as easily roll off. They know many Americans are incapable of discriminating the crucial differences especially if fed pablum by Keith Obersturmbanfuhrermann, Prissy Matthews and Stephi.
