On the morning of August 15, 2005, members of a violent hate group known officially as "The United States Marine Corps", stormed into the peaceful Iraqi village of Haditha and opened fired, murdering 15 innocent men, women, children, and fluffy kittens as they lay sleeping in their beds. Congressman Jack Murtha, a former USMC Colonel who has since redeemed himself by repeatedly kicking his country its collective nards, wasted no time looking at evidence or listening to the Marines' version of events before calling a press conference and demanding they all be court martialed for their heinous crimes.
Murtha was careful, however, to not blame the troops for what happened. No, this was all George Bush's fault for placing them in such a stressful situation. Marines simply aren't trained to deal with the pressures of war. Whole platoons have been known to snap at the sound of gunfire and wipe out the first village they can get their hands on. That's what happened at Haditha. Jack Murtha knew it beyond any shadow of a doubt.
These so-called "patriots" continue to maintain their innocence anyway, perhaps for no other reason than to make Iron Jack Murtha look like a weasel and a liar. Yesterday, an investigating officer on the case recommend charges be dropped on one Marine for lack of evidence. Apparently he didn't bother to talk to the same Iraqi insurgents that Jack Murtha did. Now, the families of the Marines are demanding Murtha be censured for calling them "cold blooded killers".
DEAR GODDESS, WHEN WILL THE NEOCON CHICKENHAWK REPUGS CEASE THEIR SWIFTBOAT STYLE ATTACKS ON OUR BELOVED MEN, WOMEN, AND TRANSGENDERED IN UNIFORM?
All the Marines in question were spawned in the Righteous Promised Land of Orange County, capital of
the Jesus Freak Empire. Yup, Camp Pendeleton is smack dab in the middle of 'Come to Jesus' Central and there's no better place to recruit all the cannon fodder for this Presidential Pope of Pulcritude.
He lays on his hamster hands and people start speaking in BabelFish with all it's attendant logic.
"Come on up to the altar and get saved" is the anthem
of every kook from Anaheim to Yorba Linda. "The blood of Jesus was shed and now it's time for you to shed yours for your Prez' cause he said so. Like Moses
leading the Israelites out of the wilderness, BushGod leads his troops into the desert to eat camel pies
and and pray a lot. "That's all it takes to win this
war" Bush says; "Positive thinking and my leadership will lead us into the Land of Plenty, you just have to trust me."
Who better to trust than the man who has so carefully
seen to the success of this mission.

What!
Jump‘n Jack Murtha Swiftboated!
How many more medals will have to be flung over the fence!
How many more Islamic Rage Boys will have to be interviewed to get the real story!
Dam those Marines.
Dam those Repugs.
Dam those Shrubs!
I think John F. Kerry would agree that another purple heart is in order for Jack Murtha… and John F. Kerry.

Semenclump, I don't think you understand the 'nature' of these crimes !! These malnourished Iraqi freedom fighters were just relaxing and preparing themselves for the next wave of attacks when this atrocious atrocity occured..otherwise How in the hell would Jack 'spit on em all and let the media sort it out' Mutha have the inside scoop on their plite ?? Think about it..but not too long (wouldn't want to have your brain start seeping out of your divine orifices all over your Mac) and then decide.
Besides, when have you ever heard anything but truth, honor, and justice ever come out of Jack's most holy of orifices ?? I dint think so...dawg. Just take a break from all that 'right wing hate speech', and give US a chance..

Who would know better what low-IQ, slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, redneck, baby-raping, -torturing, -killing, -murdering, knuckle-dragging thugs with a Red State mentality (BUT I SUPPORT THE TROOPS!!!) are capable of than one of their own who has broken free of the shackles of Semper Fi, defending the country at the risk of your own life & "patriosity".
See? I can invent words just like Stephen Colbert!

While Ware's report focused on Sharratt, his conclusions highlight the challenges of prosecuting war-crimes allegations.
Forensic evidence is often incomplete or unavailable. Witnesses have credibility issues or refuse to testify because they fear retribution. Sometimes, investigations aren't launched until months or years after an alleged crime took place.
In addition, cases can take months or longer to reach court, by which time memories can fade and witnesses disappear.
Even though prosecutors in the Haditha case face those obstacles, they succeeded on one front yesterday.
The investigative officer who oversaw the pretrial hearing for Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, the highest-ranking Marine charged in the case, recommended that he be court-martialed for dereliction of duty and other similar charges.
Chessani led the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, which included all the defendants.
Prosecutors have accused Chessani of failing to properly investigate the killings. His lawyers say he trusted his subordinates, who told him that the Iraqis died in a battle between U.S. forces and insurgents ...
A better assessment of the prosecution's case against the Haditha defendants probably will come after the pretrial hearings for Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum and Wuterich.
Tatum's proceedings will start Monday, while Wuterich's will follow in August.
Tatum is charged with two counts of unpremeditated murder, four counts of negligent homicide and one count of assault.
Wuterich faces the most charges: 13 counts of unpremeditated murder, two counts of prompting someone to commit an offense and one count of making a false official statement.

I guess while I was there, the general attitude was, ‘A dead Iraqi is just another dead Iraqi’--- Spc. Jeff Englehart
There was a little boy … about 10 … with three donkeys. A military convoy … killed them all … Judging by the skid marks, they hardly even slowed down. ---Sgt. Kelly Dougherty.
Every good cop carries a throwaway (weapon), If you kill someone and they’re unarmed, you just drop one on them. ---Cavalry Scout Joe Hatcher
We’re approaching, and they had a family dog. And it was barking ferociously because it’s doing its job, and my squad leader, just out of nowhere, just shoots it. The family is sitting right there with three little children, and a mom and a dad, horrified. ---Spc. Philip Chrystal
You go up the stairs. You grab the man of the house. You rip him out of bed in front of his wife. You put him up against the wall. You have junior-level troops, PFCs, specialists will run into the other rooms and grab the family, and you’ll group them all together.
---Sgt. John Bruhns
I just remember thinking to myself, ‘I just brought terror to someone else under the American flag’. ---Sgt. Timothy Westphal
I’ll tell you the point where I really turned. I go out to the scene and there was this little, you know, pudgy little 2-year-old child with the cute little pudgy legs, and I look and she has a bullet through her leg. An IED went off, the gun-happy soldiers just started shooting anywhere and the baby got hit. And this baby looked at me, wasn’t crying, wasn’t anything, it just looked at me like–I know she couldn’t speak. It might sound crazy, but she was like asking me why. You know, Why do I have a bullet in my leg?… I was just like, This is–this is it. This is ridiculous.

Shi'ite biyatch !!! that's nothin'.
When I was in the 'Nam (first tour-69 summer o love baby) some dooofus Pfc thought
Dip yelled "Roll out!" when what he really said was "Hold up!" Me, I was so proud of my new 'Fishin Pole' (a captured Soviet AK-not the cheep Chinese deal) I was trying to get the bumper jack over my shoulder, and my hand was on the latch clamp of the 10 wheeler. Doofus boy pops the clutch on the old beast, and snatches my right hand index finger off.
There I am, half a click from the heat..and Bozo driving off with my finger..fuckwad.
Later that year while on leave, I sneaked out of taxi in the middle of the night
(so nobody would see me in uniform) in front of my parent's house..(at least the driver didn't charge me for the ride from the bus station) and I thought I would surprise them with a visit from their 'blue star boy'...I mused, 'I'll bet Mama will be shocked to see me sitting at the table when she wakes up!'
So I went to a window that was cracked ..(summertime-no ac) and quietly eased the old wood frame sash up. Just as I slipped my size 11 Altama onto the heart o pine floor, I heard the familiar clank of an L.C. Smith double barrel close.
"What are you doing in my house?" OMG... I screamed "Don't shoot Daddy, it's me !!!"
Damn that was close.
all the while that was going on, Bush was lying. And me losing my finger was a direct result of those lies.
Posted by: csason | July 14, 2007 at 06:51 AM
Are any of you aware that George Bush actually has these Marines shooting people? And many of the people they shoot are of Middle Eastern descent.
I just looked it up and it's all true.

"Every good cop carries a throwaway (weapon), If you kill someone and they’re unarmed, you just drop one on them. ---Cavalry Scout Joe Hatcher"
Who cares if they're armed or not? This is war. If you look like the enemy we kill you. Who wants to get close enough to see if you're ticking? We took out a few 10 year olds at Hiroshima and interned thousands back here. Nobody ever said we wouldn't get our hair mussed a bit. Shoot first and dont even bother asking questions later.
America is the free world's last hope. Defeat radical Islam at any and all costs. Killing everyone who looks the part is a good start.

That's what happens when your ears fill up with semen from sucking too much dick, Shemen. I'm a veteran who supports the mission 100%. Idiots like you can cut and paste until the semen dries on your face and you'll still be just as full of shit as Murtha is.
I am the strong, you are the weak. I am the righteous man, you are the clueless coward. If Osama crossed your path you'd be dead, if he crossed my path, he'd be dead. That's one of the many things that separates us great Americans from worthless servants like you.

According to a loser like you. Trouble is, you're the idiot and a weak idiot to boot. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE GREATEST LEADER IN THE WORLD TODAY, and whining bitches like you can't do anything to stop him. You losers aren't going to stop Fred Bombsome either. Get used to being led, follower. It's going to be this way for a long time. Or just go ahead and put the barrel in your mouth and do the right thing.

I'd like to see you scream for "appeasement" if some of Osama's henchmen had a blade to your throat and you were going to lose your head.
Not so much big talk then, macho-man ...!
You think you're impressive, but you're a psycho. And so are many of your troops in Iraq. Ignorant butchers.

Sorry to have to update you, but things are changing fast. So, "It's going to be this way for a long time" is no more and no less than your own personal fairytale.
