Disgusting - the investigation is not over and the marines are convicted. Same old Vietnam garbage.

"relatives turned down a request by U.S. investigators to exhume the victims' bodies for forensic tests."

JACK ASS MURTHA IT'S OVER UNLESS YOU DON'T NEED A FAIR TRIAL TO CONVICT THESE MARINES?

Yup! Another My Lai. Jack "The Fragger" Murtha says so. Why waste time and money on investigations, hearings and all that jazz. Let's just execute these Marines. Murtha says they're guilty so it must be true. "THERE THEY ARE! LET'S GET 'EM BOYS!!!!!

"But this (Haditha) is not My Lai, and those that try to make a direct comparison are not well informed.

Yes, that would describe the media.

If you have a city serving as an enemy enclave, and the people in that city know of enemy attacks and do nothing to either warn our soldiers or prevent those attacks...then sooner or later those people along with the enemy fighters are going to have to be pacified.

Whether you do it on the ground, up close and personal, or from an aircraft, or with missiles...the results are the same. Non-combatants die. Either collaterally, or as an effort to pacify the enemy population.

Non-combatants in enemy enclaves should either get out or their own blood is on their hands, or whomever holds them there. Sorry, AP, libs, liberal media, hand-wringers, RINO's, etc... but thatt's the harsh reality of war.

it's amazing how the lame-stream-media is slowly bringing this comparison closer together....

the other night on some idiot news show when speaking of My Lai they talked of "420 men/women/children murdered"...now, according to this article, the number is a little more then 300.

As I recall there were Iraqi soldiers on that operation. Has anyone seen any reports on what if anything they saw?

One very interesting line in this story...was the one that said that the initial reports of My Lai was INVESTIGATED by Colin Powell...and he found no wrongdoing...

Therefore, it shows that NO ONE can be sure of anything at this time...and maybe never, because if, like I believe, this was some kind of either planned, or spontaneous set up...the Marines won't be able to tell what happened before they got there..and we know the terrorists won't tell.

They're trying to make it Vietnam again, but this time we're fighting back. Don't sit back and take it.

The media create their own false 'reality' and then try hard to sell it to the public as factual. There's nothing worse than a liar, and I mean nothing.

If these poor Marines are scapegoated and convicted, then I predict this case will spell the beginning of the end of the all-volunteer military. Who the hell wants to join a military that allows an anti-American media to travel with them for the sole purposes of misrepresenting the facts and painting our guys out to be cruel, abusive criminals? And what's worse, who wants to join a military that applies ridiculous constraints on our guys and constantly finds troops to place on trial for "abuse" or even murder?

As Michael Savage calls it, "the enemy within", they are doing more damage than the external enemies of America are.
