... "incident"?
Have any of them offered apologies to those troops now that the whole “case” has been found to be fabricated by our enemies?
Is this a good example of how the Democrats & the Left in general supports the troops?

I have quite often compared surrendering Jack Murtha to the hero of Ticonderoga a fellow named Arnold.
For some reason they seem to believe only the worst about the rest of us.
Just had a thought: could It be that they know what is in their own souls and don't realize the rest of us aren't like them?

Murtha will get a chance to explain himself, in the libel suit brought by some of the soldiers.
Justice! Thank God.

What are you talking about? The case wasn't "fabricated" by our "enemies." Do you get your news from Michelle Makin?
An investigation found that there was the killing of innocents, and that initial reports by the Marines, that they were related to a roadside bomb, were false.
Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum is going to court martial charged with involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault.
Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani faces charges of dereliction of duty and violation of a lawful order for failing to accurately report and investigate the incident.
One Marine remains charged with murder.
Of the two non-coms who were originally charged with murder, the charges were dismissed against one, and the other wasn't charged in exchange for testimony.
Others who have had charges dropped are higher up the food chain, as is typical under this administration's military - the officers always get cleared while the grunts pay.
No one has suggested that innocents were not killed. The problem with slaughtering everyone there is the only witnesses left are the perpetrators, and with the chaos and quagmire they were thrown into, intent and state of mind would be difficult to prove, to say the least.
Claiming this was made up is nonsense, and somewhat immoral, as well.

Because they fervently wanted to believe the allegations to further their own self-serving purposes. We now live in a country where elected officials openly equate those in the military with Nazis and war criminals.
They have no shame!

the case is hardly over, as you very well know.
and the reports of a roadside bomb have been debunked, again, as you very well know.
but the apologies are over cletus and here's why.
whenever a dem apologizes for crossing the line, the right pundits see it as a sign of weakness and only criticize MORE.
but when jethro limbaugh brainlessly calls all troops that don't walk in lockstep with our braindead president's idea of how a war should be fought - he calls them phoney soldiers - note the s at the end of the word soldier - meaning multiple - not just one like jethro wants to re-write his own words.
did jethro apologize - no.
that's where you apologies are cletus - when bush apologizes - dems will start to as well.
hope this helps...
