If I were president, I would immediately get on-the-ground info on any of our troops accused of so-called ‘battlefield-crimes’. I guarantee you that ALL of those that were decisions made in the heat of battle would be pardoned.
One of George W. Bush’s greatest mistakes in my mind was that he didn’t immediately pardon every one of the Haditha and Hamandaniya accused. He let them go to trial.

It is breaking that a missile took out Saddam’s chemical guy today. Are they sure it was him? Was there a wife in the convoy? Kids? Others?
If any of that is true, then Obama just violated the rules of engagement he has imposed upon our own people. And we don’t even know for sure the deceased is really the right guy yet.
I agree with you.
