... as all charges against the last marine charged in the Haditha case were dropped yesterday, we wait for the other shoe to drop. Will Lt Col Jeffrey Chessani sue the fat political blowhard from Pennsylvania for his words or just quietly leave the Marines and get on with his life after three tours in Iraq and twenty plus years service to his country? And no thanks in the end!We all share the shame of this false military prosecution, but weekend warrior Murtha, who used these fellow marines as scapegoats to ingratiate himself with the far left of his party deserves the public stoning! In an attempt to increase his stature and power in the Dem led house over their bodies and careers, he deserves a thorough investigation and exposure of his words and deeds since his 2nd Lt days to the present!
"The Time magazine story, according to Rooney, was planted by an insurgent propaganda agent. Publishing of the story was soon followed by a May 17, 2006, news conference by Murtha. The congressman announced he had been told by the highest levels of the Marine Corps there was no firefight and Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood."
"All the informatio
n I get, it comes from the commanders, it comes from people who know what they're talking about," Murtha told reporters at the time.Murtha's assertions, however, conflicted with results from the military's own investigations. An initial probe by Army Col. G.A. Watt found no indications coalition forces "intentionally targeted, engaged and killed noncombatants." Later, Army Maj. Gen. Aldon Bargewell found no cover-up.

I understand Marine recruiting numbers have dropped since this witch hunt began. Who would be surprised? Enlist in a combat service, be sent to a battlefield where the enemy is male, female, children all dressed alike in burkha's and headscarves. And then when you react to hostile fire, be second guessed not only by those Hackworth used to call 'Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon' but by fat, out of shape, ex-marines sucking on the fat in the halls of congress?
The bad news is; If the Lt Col does sue, Mealy Mouth Murtha will hide behind his congressional seat in the first instance and use hard earned money sent in by supporters to pay for his defense in the second instance.
The Navy by the way, is batting 0 for 7 so far in these politically encouraged prosecutions. Front page news in the New York Times when they were accused, back page small items now they are are acquitted!
There oughtta be a law!!
