Media Leaks Haditha Report
In another attempt to smear our fine soldiers, The Washington Post got their hands on a copy of the military’s report on Haditha. In typical terrorist sympathizing fashion you have to read very far into the story to find small distorted parts of the truth. Here is an excerpt of the story.
Death in Haditha
Eyewitness Accounts in Report Indicate Marines Gunned Down Unarmed Iraqis in the Aftermath of a Roadside Bombing in 2005
By Josh White
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, January 6, 2007; A01U.S. Marines gunned down five unarmed Iraqis who stumbled onto the scene of a 2005 roadside bombing in Haditha, Iraq, according to eyewitness accounts that are part of a lengthy investigative report obtained by The Washington Post.
Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich, the squad’s leader, shot the men one by one after Marines ordered them out of a white taxi in the moments following the explosion, which killed one Marine and injured two others, witnesses told investigators. Another Marine fired rounds into their bodies as they lay on the ground.
Makes our boys sound like cold blooded murders. Well that is what the media and the terrorists want you to believe. It’s called propaganda and the MSM is helping spread it. You have to read a little farther to find the truth.
The official inquiry began two weeks later, after the Time reporter sent a list of questions about the incident to Marine officials in Iraq. In his e-mail, the reporter raised the possibility that Marines had massacred civilians and executed the men from the taxi, based in part on a videotape made by an activist a day after the incident.
[Maj. Gen. Richard A. Huck, the division commander] told investigators he dismissed the allegations, believing they were part of an insurgent campaign to smear the Marines. Other Marine officers, such as Davis, also believed that the allegations were outlandish.
Way to go MSM, do you want America to win this war or are you ready to convert to Islam?

Okay, I’ll bite.
So, some folks in the military state the allegations are outlandish, and yet hard photographic evidence have emerged as a result of investigations by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service that go against the story by the accused that they shot the passengers of the taxi because the passengers were fleeing.
There are many fine soldiers out there, but these guys involved in the massacre deserve to be investigated, at the very least because of the heinousness of the aftermath they left behind.
So, the question really should be not to the MSM. It should be to those bad apples out in the field. Do you really want to win this war? Or do you want to make it all the more tougher for the rest of us to get out of there with any sense of dignity?

O k I’ll take a bite out of that shit sandwich as well! You talk of hard photographic evidence yet as I read it I thought it said the pictures were taken the day after or later, is that your definition of hard photographic evidence?
And it seems to me that it is ok with you if the media tries these marines in the court of public opinion based upon leaked preliminary reports, and you have no problem with it, ok so be it neither do I (it is well and good that this matter be investigated and that the truth come out such as it is).
However if these marines are to be held I believe that the people who forced them into this ungodly situation should be incarcerated and held as well as being accessories!
Quite simply that means that Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and every other Congressman who voted for this war and has since undermined it’s prosecution be immediately incarcerated and prosecuted as well.
Marines are trained to Kill and Destroy upon the orders of our civilian leadership! Marines are not babysitters nor are they police men, they are destroyers. If our civilian leadership is not aware of that and fails to act or use Marines accordingly, then they should be held accountable for the result.
As for the news paper that released this story in such an abbreviated form, what are they afraid of? The story says there are (if I recall correctly) thousand of pages in this preliminary report yet I read the story in mere minutes. So where is the rest of it?
In this day of electronic communication why do they not simply write their story and provide file copies of the whole report, are they afraid that some one might actually read it, and not be dependent upon their abbreviated account of the incident?
I hope these marines are found innocent, just based upon what I read in this article, and I hope they and their families sue and win against this paper.
Oh, and before I sign off; God and I had a discussion the other day about how to cure some of the ills of the world, so that new mole you developed…….well maybe you should see the doctor!
