Absolutely amazing....you STILL blame the Marines. If you had a shred of decency or intelligence you'd read Jeff's post above and take it to heart.

pleas do hold you breath with such an inane comment like that, I would prefer you kept your mouth closed.
A US military statement said: "A US marine and 15 civilians were killed yesterday from the blast of a roadside bomb in Haditha. " "Immediately following the bombing, gunmen attacked the convoy with small arms fire. Iraqi army soldiers and marines returned fire, killing eight insurgents and wounding another."
The official version was changed to say that, after the roadside bombing, the 15 civilians had been accidentally shot by marines during a gun fight with insurgents.
