This sounds to me like game, set, match.

"The video appears to show that, throughout that day, Marines engaged in fierce firefights and called in air strikes to level buildings -- often with no definitive idea of who was inside."

Yah, right, CNN. It was innocent women and children and a wedding party in the buildings, shooting at the Marines.

The Insurgents were held accountable for these deaths until their willing accomplices in the Media tried to blame Our Marines.

I just saw the broadcast of this story on CNN. No doubt about it. CNN is spinning this against the Marines.

I captured the video from the CNN site and will “strip” it up. The misrepresentations are numerous and we have to counter them as quickly as possible.

That’s a repeat of the 60 Minutes interview with SSgt Frank Wuterich that was first broadcast in May (I think).

In one of the great freeps in the Florida chapter's history, we freeped on a Saturday morning in front of former senator Bob Graham's office in downtown Tampa some years ago.

Graham was in DC, but we knew that and it didn't make an iota of difference. The freep was the thing.

I can't remember specifically what we were freeping this leftist retard for, but with Graham it could have been anything and everything.

The weather was great, the signs displayed the usual creative efforts, the cars, cabs and trucks driving by gave us the thumbs up and horn toots.

Suddenly, way up between the tall buildings we saw FReeper One of the Florida Free Republic Air force zoom into sight.....circling above us for a good ten minutes or so. What a thrill!

It was towing a banner with an apropos phrase on it. We danced around, pointing upward and crying out "Da Plane, Da Plane!!"

All of Tampa proper couldn't miss that plane!

Afterward we adjourned to a nearby hash house for a bite to eat and some great freeptalk about our completed mission.

I wish Murtha's office was in Florida. You can bet your life we'd freep him but good.

If his office was on the water down here, we'd call in the Florida Free Republic Navy to assist us, too.

Not to mention the Florida Free Republic Amazon Brigade Reserves, always gorgeous, always ready to be called up and serve.

Not all American troops are military......we freepers are civilian fighters, our morale is always superb, we're always ready to hit the front lines.......and we take no prisoners.

Murtha, you cowardly traitor and filthy blot on the history of this great country, don't poke your jowly face into Florida!

The video was edited to exclude any armed insurgent. It just shows us bombing buildings in Haditha with no context.

Who edited this? It was released to CNN (why to only them) by the DOD. Was it edited by "anonymous DOD officials"? Was it edited by CNN? Where's the insurgent running into a house and returning, carrying a baby?

This was NOT released in the interest of justice.

CNN does NOT mention that 11 Marines were wounded in the fighting that day.

BTW, I wish Puckett and Rooney would just shut the hell up about suing Murtha until the judicial process is concluded. He's a powerful man and warning him that you're coming after him, when your client has not been cleared, is just Goddamn stupid.

His last statement that Justice will not be served until there is a conviction???

What an IDIOT, not ONE civilian was targeted intentionally, this is a political railroading and that former LtCol should know better.

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS;

Where is the criminal investigation? You're putting the cart before the horse.

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE RECALL PETITION FOR MURTHA IS.

Ask the registered voters of the 12th congressional district of Pennsylvania. No one else's signatures have any bearing. And even theirs might not -- I don't know squat about Pennsylvania recall law. But I do know that the voters of PA-12 had the option to "recall" Murtha 10 months ago by not re-electing him, and they chose otherwise.

Trying to recall a Congressman is generally pointless. It's foot-stomping to make a point. He can be removed from office on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November of any even-numbered year. No petitions required.

The stills I've captured aren't of very high quality...

I can enhance them a little but it's still hard to make out anything of value...

This may be as good we can get from the version that CNN posted.

What we need in the Middle East is a Capitalist Castro who can reign over the entire region with a heavy hand.

Yeah, because that strategy worked out so well with Batista, Marcos, Diem, Pinochet, Mugabe, the Shah, Somoza, Botha, UNITA, Zia, The Guatemalan presidente of the week, and oh yeah, lest we forget, the house of Saud.

We cannot afford to back a pet strong-man who oppresses his own people. If we don't support and nurture the kind of liberty we claim to stand for, then we're acting like nothing more than the bullies they say we are. And a century of history tells us that if people feel like we've imposed a leader on them, for the very good reason that we have imposed a leader on them, they will strike back.

Based upon the Marines position from earlier in the Video and the eventual cover in the lower left corner as well as the position of the bodies I’d say they were relocating to a different position away from the car.

Note that with the exception of the driver’s door all other doors were opened away from the Marines, not what one would do if one was surrendering or peacefully complying with The Marines orders to stop.
