The queen of the blogosphere and TV pundit, a daily read of myself and many many others, continues with her defense of due process today as we are doing here at Murtha Must Go for our proud soldiers in this latest attempt from Murtha and left to undermine the Iraq and Afghanistan missions at every possible turn.
It is pretty scary and sad that in their hatred for President Bush they are willing to throw our country and it's defenders, military or non military under the bus day after day in order to destroy the very land they live and prosper, just trying to further their political agenda that they can't advance at the ballot boxes. Particularly at moments when the soldiers need us behind them more then ever.
WorldNetDaily: 'Cut and Run' Murtha goes off half-cocked: "Democrat Rep. John 'Cut and Run' Murtha thinks he knows the truth about Haditha – and he has been blabbing it to every last cable-show host that will host him. The loose-lipped former Marine has accused troops of wantonly killing some two dozen civilians, including children, 'in cold blood' in the terrorist stronghold in Iraq last November. There are two ongoing military investigations into the incident itself and the actions of higher-ups in the Haditha aftermath.Also posted at chicagoray.blogspot
Let me repeat that: The investigations are ongoing. Not complete. Official reports aren't expected for several weeks.
I do not know the truth about Haditha. Neither do Murtha and the media outlets calling the alleged massacre a massacre before all the facts are in. It would be helpful if they could handle these grave charges without serving as Al Jazeera satellite offices. GOP Sen. John Warner, who like Murtha also served in the Marines, struck the right tone over the weekend – refusing, unlike Murtha, to render a verdict against the Marines before trial and avoiding Bush Derangement Syndrome, but also taking the allegations very seriously.
I do know this. Children are dead. Other children have been orphaned. There are pictures of bullet holes and bloodied homes. There are evolving stories about what happened last Nov. 19 and serious allegations of a possible cover-up.
I also know this: Lance Cpl. Miguel Terrazas, the Marine who was killed by a roadside IED (improvised explosive device) that day, followed a proud family tradition of military service. He had received a commendation for bravery on his first tour of duty in Iraq in 2004. One of his fellow Marines said Terrazas' body was split in two by the bomb explosion that rocked his Hummer while on patrol that morning. read more
