The truth about Haditha.

Al-Qaeda in Haditha.
THE BATTLE THE MEDIA IGNORED

Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.

Bernard Law Montgomery


Time Magazine reporter Tim McGirk should be doing the perp-shuffle to the gallows right now because, as the story says:

McGirk received his video "evidence" and contacts from two known Iraqi insurgent operatives already under observation by Marine Corps counter-intelligence teams. One of the Iraqi witnesses McGirk relied on had just been released from almost six months captivity for insurgent activities and the other witness was considered a useful intelligence tool by Marines listening to him talk on his cell phone. (More?)

Murtha, the media- they are all disgusting! Now the so-called Haditha Marines are humiliated- robbed of their honour; and all because of al-Qaeda and the d*ckhead reporter who generously let himself be manipulated by them.

After Tim McGirk wrote his specious report claiming a squad of Marines massacred 24 civilians at Haditha the world press immediately compared the incident to the massacre at My Lai. The unwarranted comparisons still anger Meyers.

“From our perspective - from a legal perspective - we knew it was a kinetic event,” said Meyers. “We knew enough to present to the IO (Investigating Officer) that this was not an isolated event; that the entire city was in a kinetic state that day. Anyone who tries to compare this event to My Lai is an absolute fool.”

This whole thing is depressing, isn't it? I hope Murtha gets his fat butt thrown in an al-Qaeda prison, along with McGirk, so they can scream for the Marines to help them! I'm sorry if I sound so harsh, but good Lord, so many cases are being brought out against Marines these days and the ridiculously biased media are only too eager to give them the guilty verdict. How dare they turn heroes into felons? It's all so upsetting and hell is too good a place for them: These wretched politicians and reporters should burn in a blacker pit that is far more worse and far more cruel than any other pit in hell.

"The thing that bothers me, and I think the thing that bothers him (General Peter Pace, chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff), is: Don't prejudge people, don't prejudge the service, don't assume that Marine Corps training led to this. That's a terrible assumption that some people have made."
