FYI.....Duncan Hunter just had a LIVE presser regarding the Marines/Haditha matter.
He said that the report that has NOT been finished yet, regardless of what Murtha has been saying, will be sent to the top guy (I forgot his name, sorry)...at about the end of next week...he will read and study it..for how long, Duncan didn't know.
THEN, he said that HE will have hearings on this matter, and probably so will Sen. Warner in the Senate.
He then went on and said that over 970,000 different troops have fought or are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and regardless of how this investigation ends, this incident with a few Marines, on one morning in Nov. of last years, should NOT reflect on the rest of the troops.
When questioned, he was asked why they are having hearings/investigations if this will be handled by the Military? And is Congress going to have a "trial" at the same time as the military?
Duncan said NO...they were going to go over evidence in this incident just "procedures"...hmmmmmmm
Then he was asked if it was a good thing for Congress to have hearings before there is even a trial, verdict, etc?
He pretty much didn't answer that I heard...just said that Americans need to know that "we" don't look the other way...and that "we" need to make sure that all protocol, blah, blah, is followed.
Other than that, he wouldn't answer any questions...just said he decided to have the presser to "clear up" some statements (Murtha) that have been made that not only mean nothing because the report isn't finished...but, that he is afraid that the MSM will "use" this incident to smear the rest of our troops.
Don't know if any of you are interested in this...but I am, so I thought I would share.
Thanks for the update on this.
Thanks sleuth....BOR was interviewing Rummy and calling it My Lai.
Ping to post #381.
Yes, I'm interested. I like Duncan Hunter, he's a straight-shooter and I think Murtha is a loose canon.
At least one "lawmaker" is making a statement regarding the traitorous comments by Mu'tha. Sorry I missed it!
Thanks sleuth... I was wondering how long the Iraq situation would go on before someone tried the "my lai" comparison.
P.S. I made a quick call to Rep. Hunter's office to thank him for making a statement to dispute Mu'tha's traitorous comments.
I'm very interested to hear that at least one politician is attempting to hold the treasonous sleazeball accountable. Thanks for sharing the details!
On this thread, post #381...and then I add some more on post #419.
If you have trouble...let me know.
Thank you, so much!!
This is wonderful news!!
