« Charges dropped against LTC Chesssani | Main | There Is Much to be Won in Iraq »
And then there was one.....
It seems kind of cliche' to say that it is about damn time.....
Uncle Jimbo jumped ahead of me on this, but I am going to chime in too. Once again though, nothing but 'crickets' coming from the Old Media about this case.
It is about damn time that someone noticed that it appears that the Time Magazine traitor's actions of reporting not only incorrect facts, but facts that didn't exist at all, having had the effect that he was looking for. If I had my way, he would be tried, and after his guilty verdict, he would swing from a rope for helping our enemies.
The government's case against these men is all but finished, as it should be....
The record for the prosecution so far to this point was 8 Marines charged, 5 had all charges dropped, 1 acquittal and 2 still pending.
Colonel Chessani now has the charges dropped against him.
Only SSGT Frank Wuterich remains. I agree with Jimbo that he will be acquitted.
World Net Daily reported last week that a military jury of seven officers had acquitted Marine 1st Lt. Andrew Grayson of all charges stemming from the same incident.
Of course, Lieutenant Grayson immediately came to the defense of Colonel Chessani.
"one of the most steadfast men. … He led by example and he knew the difference between right and wrong."
I am curious how it is that I haven't heard one peep from the Old Media about this, since it was pumped, promoted, headlined and analyzed as the worst war crime since My Lai. The talking heads from all the networks and the mainstream print media didn't miss the chance to smear these warriors as murderers in front of the cameras at Five and on the front pages every morning; only to rush off to their cocktail dinners and stagger home to their Park Avenue condo and sleep warm and safe, courtesy of sacrifices of these brave men.
Seems that this is fast becoming, as if it wasn't already, the massacre that wasn't. And it will become one of the death nells for the Old Media.
The greatest tragedy of this whole dark chapter in the war against radical Islamism is that the chain of command that has it's pictures hanging on the walls of these units failed to do in this case the most basic job that leaders must do; defend their soldiers. If you can't do that, then you are not a leader.
There is more at Defend Our Marines and at the Thomas More Law Center, who handled the Colonel's defense.
I am waiting patiently for your apology Mr. Murtha....
