The Haditha Marines, otherwise known as the Pendleton 8, have been locked up since Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha declared they were guilty of ‘cold blooded murder’ in 2005.
Apparently, Murtha believes they should be guilty until proved innocent. Surely, he wouldn’t have used the lives of these Marine war veterans, the morale of our Armed Forces in general and the well-being of our national security for his own political gain. Surely not!
But now, those very same Marines that Murtha stood up in front of the world and declared to be out of control killers, are being exonerated and cleared of the charges against them.
Just out of curiosity, how will Murtha make amends for what he’s put these Marines and their families through? Will he make sure they get as much publicity for their acquittals as he did for his presumption of guilty? Will he ask for forgiveness for his mind-boggling greed and power hunger? Will he apologize to the country for undermining our strength as a nation by damaging the morale of our Troops and announcing to the world that we will eat our own for personal gain?
John Murtha is guilty of cold-blooded destruction of the lives of these heroic Marines! Our nation should hang its head in shame for what we allowed to be done to these young men to voluntarily went into harms way to serve their country. Our enemies are treated better.
How will he undo the damage he has done to these young mens’ lives and careers? How will he give those young men these past two years back?
President Bush, you need to intervene and praise these Marines and chastise Murtha for his irresponsible actions against our Armed Forces and against our country.
Are you outraged? You should be! Write about this on your blog and spread the story until Murtha can no longer ignore the consequences of his behavior. Write your Senator and Congressmen and demand Justice for our Marines. Write President Bush and let him know that the American people will not stand for our Men at Arms being slandered and mistreated at the hands of our elected officials.
Newsmax is reporting on this: General Praises Exonerated Haditha Marine, Charges Against Haditha Marine Sharratt Dropped, Charges for Haditha Investigator Dropped.
The Pirate’s Cove thinks Murtha will ignore the fact that he’s been proved an enemy of our military.
One Big Dog is wondering where the apology from Murtha is.
Hot Air has the answer to whether or not Murtha will apologize. His office HUNG UP when asked about the Haditha Marines. (How can one man embody so much cowardice! At least have the dignity to apologize for your arrogance! At least show THAT amount of human decency. COWARDICE THY NAME IS JOHN MURTHA!)
I am embarrassed that John Murtha is a Representative of the United States Congress.
The Cookie Crumb Express thinks Murtha may have redeployed to the back bathroom and locked the door.
