My Lai, Me Lie Again, Me Constantly Lie

Remember just a couple of days ago when Bush said "if an investigation turns up evidence of wrongdoing by U.S. Marines in the killings of civilians in the Iraqi town of Haditha, those involved will punished."

I wouldn't hold my breath:
Troops cleared in Ishaqi raid
A military investigation into allegations that U.S. troops intentionally killed Iraqi civilians in a March 15 raid in a village north of Baghdad has cleared the troops of misconduct, two defense officials said Friday.

The investigation concluded that the U.S. troops followed normal procedures in raising the level of force as they came under attack upon approaching a building where they believed an al-Qaida terrorist was hiding
[...]
The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division reviewed the results of the investigation and found no reason to probe further, the officials said.
So who did they kill?
One defense official said the investigation into the circumstances of the Ishaqi attack found that four people in the building were killed by U.S. forces, including two women and a child. The main target of the attack, said by U.S. intelligence to be an al-Qaida figure, ran from the building but was later captured, the official said.
Tho the wrongwingers refuse to say how many innocent deaths are worth an alleged enemy's death, I assume this is in their ballpark ... but wait, there's more!
video shot by an AP Television News cameraman at the time and aired on March 15 shows at least five children dead. The video shows at least one adult male and four young children with obvious entry wounds to the head. One child has an obvious entry wound to the side caused by a bullet.
So who ya gonna believe, me or your lying eyes. No wonder they dumped this out with the Friday night trash.

"Obvious entry wounds to the head" ... "Obvious entry wounds to the head" ... Obvious freakin!!! entry wounds to the @#$%^! head of children!

Perhaps I'm getting too upset, maybe they weren't executed, maybe it was the gunships that were called in just happened to hit all those children right in the head!

This was not only a coverup, it was a coverup that called in airpower to help cover it up. And they were cleared of misconduct.
