It-the visit-indicates that this one is in need of a resolution asap.
Hiya Lily
More of you is better than less.
“Who and when the Iraqis can imprison Americans is a big sticking point. The Iraqis insist on having original jurisdiction in the prosecution of U.S. service members. Essentially they want a free hand in prosecuting and imprisoning American troops stationed in peaceful Iraq after the U.S. finishes pulling out its combat forces after Christmas. “
This seems like a very bad idea.
We’ve missed you Lily, where in the heck have you been? ;-)
Perhaps at this point he would not want to go back into the barn. After all they pulled off on him.
Hello Jaz! I’m pretty sure I have been past your house a few times, but I didn’t honk!
Hola!!! You were right about me loving living here.
I’ve been asking EVERYONE this question.
Maybe you know.
What EXACTLY is it that we OWE the Iraqi’s?
I’m pretty sure I have been past your house a few times
Sounds like she done did and got herself a paper route! YAY for Lily!!!!
Of course I don’t know.
Welll, the last time I checked we didn’t owe them a GODD###ED thing.
So the best thing to do, of course, is to waste thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars on a third world shi##hole.
YAY for us!
I was refferring to the actual prosecutions/persecuters of Frank being stowed away in The Barn Of Really Bad Ideas, not Frank himself.

I flipped a coin as to what you meant. heheh. No problem.
Since the Haditha case was a centerpiece of an ACTUAL discussion, and since Wuterich is the sole remaining defendant in that case, there is no way that does not give the appearance of tampering with Wuterich’s case and his future.
To the extent that DOD was involved, there are, then, clear command lines that go directly to Wuterich.
I believe we just had an admission (again) of Unlawful Command Influence. Now it's at the highest levels of our government, both DOD and State.
We all know the original UCI was perpetrated by the despicable former Congressman John "In Cold Blood" Murtha.
Since then the taint of UCI has spread in many directions. If John Murtha has a legacy, it is most certainly one of destruction.
Agreed, xzins. This affirms that people at the highest levels of government are fine tuned to the prosecution of SSgt. Wuterich and have been since BEFORE charges were even filed against the Haditha Marines in December of 2006.
smoothsailing: We all know the original UCI was perpetrated by the despicable former Congressman John "In Cold Blood" Murtha.
You couldn't be more correct, smooth.
John Murtha was meeting with high officials at DOD and shooting his mouth off publicly on national TV months before charges were filed. He was shouting out to anyone willing to listen to his perversion of the UCMJ that these Marines were guilty of being cold blooded killers long before the investigation was even completed.
Murtha's meddling as a US Congressman thus denying these Marines the right to be presumed innocent should have been cause for all charges to have been dismissed in the Article 32 hearings, IMO.
The longer this travesty has continued the more evident it is that officials in Iraq are insisting to high ups in DOD and the State Department they want a conviction of this last Marine and it stems from the very beginning and John Murtha's outrageous statements.
All the more reason for the US to just pull out everything, every single last troop from Iraq. We were victorious there years ago, and have lingered only to try building a model society in a pig pen. They will return to their dictators sooner rather than later.
Once we are out of there, and there remains no longer any reason to kowtow to them, then Wuterich might be able to get a fair hearing.
