Yesterday, a military judge said the poor judgment of a prominent general prompted him to dismiss all charges against the highest-ranking Marine who was being court-martialed in the killing of civilians in Haditha, Iraq.
The hearing in a courtroom at Camp Pendleton for Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani follows a succession of other Marines who were charged with trying to cover up killings of Iraqis.
The witch hunt of thee Marines was given force stateside by former Marine and Pennsylvania congressman John Murtha.
When Barack Obama was asked about the situation, he stated “I would never second guess John Murtha… I think he’s somebody who knows of which he speaks.”
I wonder if Murtha and Obama will race out to apologize?
Haditha Marine Found Not Guilty
Earlier this week a military jury acquitted a Camp Pendleton officer accused of trying to cover up the killings of 24 men, women and children in Haditha, Iraq.
If you recall back in 2005, there was an abundance of coverage of the reportedly unprovoked killing of two dozen Iraqis by a small number of Marines in Haditha, Iraq.
Leading the outrage was former Marine and Pennsylvania congressman John Murtha, who stated that his sourced inside the military told him “there was no firefight, there was no IED (improvised explosive device) that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.”
When Barack Obama was asked about the situation, he stated “I would never second guess John Murtha … I think he’s somebody who knows of which he speaks.”
Maybe you should second guess somebody when they are condemning U.S. Marines and you don’t know the details.
Anyhow, over the past couple of years, charges have been dropped and the Marines have been acquitted one by one in this case. The latest was 1st Lt. Andrew Grayson.
John Murtha doesn’t know what he speaks, and neither does his puppet, Obama.
You’d think they would have given these guys the benefit of the doubt. Failing that, how about a public apology now?
