They are not cops. Their rules of engagement are to destroy the enemy when attacked. They did that.

From the Investigating Officer:

LCpl Tatum shot and killed people in houses 1 and 2, but the reason he did so was because of his training and the circumstances he was placed in, not to exact revenge and commit murder.”

You obviously know very little about this case judging by your sweeping judgements. Click the category on my sidebar on the Haditha Marines and learn instead of listening to your lefty friends who want our soldiers to be babykillers so bad they can taste it. All so your kind can yell “My Lai!”, “the war is bad”, “Bush is evil”….blah blah blah.

Finally, the courts have deemed almost all of these Marines as innocent of these charges. There are only two left.

Still no apology from Murtha or your kind.

We can discount any eyewitness statements made by Iraquis because they can’t be trusted, right?

You would think that given the news that these Marines are being cleared of charges, the last thing some loony whose spent the last couple of years screaming about our troops as murderers would want to do is come here, defend Murtha and draw even MORE attention to the huge whopping lies they’ve swallowed about our troops which can only serve our enemies.

But then, YOU would think. And that’s a skill set that is clearly lacking in the moonbats who’ve lately graced your comment section and provide continuing proof that the left is intellectually and morally bankrupt.

This is NOT a non-issue. A sitting congressman passed judgment on innocent Marines in a public forum. He slandered them and his very rich “anti-war” (no, the are PRO-war, just not on the side of the USA) have used him to forward their sick agenda of surrender to the islamofascists.

Jesus? Is this some slap at the “Christian right” that the left fears? Talk about creating boogymen. I actually do not go to church. I doubt I am what your feared “Evil Chistian Theocons(tm)” would call “Christian right”. Though I would rather be that than a mind numbed, double speaking, totalitarian socialist which is all the left seems to produce.

You want something to fear? How about a socialist dictatorship too blind to see the threat of global Jihad from Islam and is more concerned with “fairness doctrines” and silencing conservatives than defending Western Civilization? THAT has a far better chance of taking root in America than some “Christian right” theocracy.

Also HOW DARE YOU call Marines who followed the law of war and the ROE people who were “murdering in cold blood”! These men, who were hunting REAL murderers, have been cleared and found to have been acting within the rules of engagement. Yet, like Murtha, you still call them murderers.

But why bother? All I am doing is arguing with one of Lenin’s “useful idiots”.

These people have to get what they feel and believe to have happened into the public, regardless of what really happened.
