Weekend Roundup

It seems there has been much squawking in the MSM and left wing rant pages about Haditha and an alleged rogue Marine or two killing civilians in cold blood after being bombed and then attacked during initial actions to secure an AQ and Baathist stronghold. There are multiple reports of children throwing grenades at troops and firing on them in some of those towns. AQ is even known to booby trap injured children. There are many circunstances that must be considered before a guilty verdict like Murtha's can be handed down. The Marines take their honor very, very seriously and will get to the bottom of this quickly and if guilty the perpetrators will get the harshest of penalties. If true this is not an act our military deals with kindly nor seeks to coverup. The Marines have a code in which honor plays a huge part and the investigation will reflect that and if guilty so will the punishment.

Michael Totten has some more photo essays posted of Lebanon, and Beirut, pretty spectacular in beauty.
My other favorite reporter, on scene, on the middle east, Bill Roggio, is posting from Afganistan for the Counterterrorism blog. They also have much on the terror cells recently busted in Canada and the UK. The ones in in Canada had three times the explosives used in the Ok City bombing while the ones in the UK are playing with chemical vests.

If you can't find accurate information or detailed analysis on the world's problems and triumphs you are either ignorant, brainwashed or both and that goes for both parties as well as the fringe wannabees, independants and loyalists.
