WSJ apologists worried civilian killings will erode support for the war

Haditha
The indictment of U.S. troops was inevitable.

"You knew it had to happen. Haditha, an "incident" involving American troops in Iraq, is now part of the erosion of support for the war in Iraq. The Iraq Syndrome has finally arrived."

"Some elements of the newly ascendant Democratic left may welcome it, but no serious person in American politics should."

that will light up our legislators?

I think these reported incidents could, very well, hasten our troops' exit from Iraq.

It's almost like he had to include those lines about Democrats and the 'left' to reassure himself

got their info from WSJ and other liars.

I wanted the troops out years ago. I can't believe how long we have had troops there.

Am I welcoming Haditha? Hell no! I hope some of these pricks can get it into their tiny brains that we have NOT taken the moral high ground in any of our foriegn policy for decades in this area of the world.

I don't believe they're isolated incidents.

That's on the heads of the warmongers. Nice job, trying to make them our fault somehow.

66% of the people already have said they don't support this invasion. ( I can't bring myself to call it a war ) and this is from one of their own polls.

and this :
The missions in Iraq and Afghanistan grew from the moral outrage of September 11. U.S. troops, the best this country has yet produced, went overseas to defend us against repeating that day. Now it isn't just that the war on terror has proven hard; the men and women fighting for us, the magnificent 99%, are being soiled in a repetitive, public way that is unbearable.

This is pure bull ! These missions were nothing more than revenge, which is exactly NOT the way to deal w/ terrorism, and in fact have created several new generations of terrorist.

I truly can't figure out if these people are stupid or really believe nearly everybody else on the planet is.....

Excuse me all of you who apologize for the war and Bush and his war hawks, I've got some news for you: Thousands of women and children have been killed since the beginning of this war by our military! This is not the first time innocent people have had their lives ripped from them because of our war. Our missiles have killed countless people whose only crime was to be in the neighborhood of suspected enemies. Whether the killing was done by a few Marines who just snapped and lost it, or by missiles being shot from our planes, it doesn't matter because we did it and the victims didn't deserve it.

And this one "incident" isn't why people have stopped supporting the war. People began to stop supporting this war because they finally got that they were lied to by this administration and they understand that this war was unnecessary. My view on this war has little to do with me being a Democrat or the President being republican. It has to do with my morals, my understanding of right and wrong, and it pisses me off that there are those who make this a purely political issue. It just so happens that being liberal means I give a damn what happens to other people!

CONVICTED FELONS, people should not be surprised by any of this - rather - they should be expecting A LOT MORE OF THIS!

The "fish" "rots from the inside out".

And, you're damn sure right that this memeber of the Democratic Left welcomes "an erosion of support for the war".

They need to step up the tempo of targeting (real) journalists to prevent reporting of the Iraqi reality.
