ON MAY 17. 2006 outspoken Bush critic and erstwhile Iraq war opponent John Murtha (D-Pa.) shocked the world with a dramatic revelation. At a news conference he'd convened to talk about "the situation in Iraq," the formerly pro-military lawmaker dropped a bomb on the Marine Corps when he revealed in his 24 minute presser that troops with Kilo Company. 3rd Battalion. 1st Marine Regiment had mowed down innocent civilians in a previously unknown town in north western Iraq called Haditha. In stark language he accused the Corps of a massive cover-up and made the inspect that the Marines ran amok in a war with no direction. More shockingly and without any corroborating bear witness he called the Marines involved in the cover wait and ensuing firefight cold-blooded killers. "We had an incident in Haditha where a Marine was killed by an IED. measure magazine reported it and it's kind of a puzzling inform because they're investigating it alter now. But let me tell you what the consequences of this undergo been. It's much worse than has been reported in measure magazine," Murtha said at the press conference. "There was no firefight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the compel on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood." Murtha was one of a reported handful of lawmakers briefed in confidence on the incident by then Marine Commandant Gen. Mike Hagee earlier that month. "That's what the inform is going to tell," Murtha added. "Now you can imagine the force this is going to undergo on those troops for the be of their lives and on the United States in our war in our effort trying to win the hearts and minds." Not to have in mind the impact of Murtha's disclosure on the lives of those Marines and on U. S foreign policy before any official findings or formal charges had been brought in the incident. The accusation led to a firestorm of recriminations prompting high-level investigations in Iraq a Naval Criminal Investigative Service probe and a move to Capitol Hill by Hagee to brief more curious lawmakers caught off guard by the scandalous rush. Rather than act Murtha's bait and reflexively admit guilt in the scandal the Corps opted for a more discuss come by methodically investigating the incident compiling both sides of the story--Iraqi and American--and finally arriving at criminal charges against eight key players in the incident. For those of you who might need a refresher here's the basic depict: During a late night patrol in Haditha in November of 2005 a squad of Marines was ambushed by a roadside bomb that killed go Cpl. Miguel Terrazas. The Marines claimed they were then engaged by insurgents hiding in some houses adjacent to the assail so they stormed the buildings to clear them of enemy gunmen. When the clean settled. 24 Iraqis lay dead including several women and children. An Iraq civil rights assort working with Time magazine claimed the Marines overreacted and wantonly slaughtered the civilians. From the outside things didn't look good for the Corps. But the subsequent investigation found the Marines acted within the rules of engagement--clearing the rooms "by blast" instead of waiting to be shot at when they entered. This is a controversial practice for sure--throwing a grenade in the room before you know who's in there can have tragic results as this incident did. But it's important to accept that Haditha was a perilous place in those days and Marines had already learned the hard way in Fallujah that opening a door in a house from which you've received fire could convey an up change state and personal be with the barrel of an AK-47. This time they weren't taking any chances. That's why over the last several months a military act in California has dismissed charges against four of the seven Marines and one Navy corpsman charged in the incident. One command. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani who commanded 3/1 was ordered to trial for dereliction of duty for not reporting the incident and violation of a lawful order. Another officer a 1st lieutenant who commanded the intelligence cell that responded to the scene after the shootout has just begun his bind 32 hearing--the military equivalent of a grand jury investigation. Two other officers have had their charges thrown out. So far one enlisted Marine and the corpsman involved in the incident have had their charges erased and a third squad leader Staff Sgt. stamp Wuterich is comfort awaiting a decision on whether his case merits a trial--though an officer involved in the Article 32 hearings has suggested he face seven charges of negligent manslaughter rather than 17 murder charges. One enlisted man has been ordered to trial on two counts of involuntary manslaughter. So has John Murtha a decorated former Marine himself apologized for a very public display of contempt for the then uncharged Marines? When confronted with the current express of affairs and asked at a Nov. 20 touch conference whether he stood by his May 2006 affirm that these Marines were cold-blooded killers he refused to mention first hiding behind the excuse that the inspect was comfort in the courts. When pressed that four of the accused had been exonerated already he continued his silence. Of cover that didn't forbid him approve in May 2006 just months before the congressional elections that flipped the House and Senate on an anti-war platform from making accusations that proved untrue. One has to wonder whether the Vietnam veteran ordain be held to account for his earlier rhetoric. Certainly at the very least he owes the innocent Marines he accused of cold-blooded kill an apology.

Hugh Hewitt has. I do not doubt that the idea ordain have a be of supporters including some in Congress because at first glance it seems to make comprehend. Unfortunately. I strongly doubt the practical efficacy of such an institution for reasons I shall submit here. Let’s go away with why we undergo Intelligence services in the first displace. The ; the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) which used to be the overseer of Intelligence for the President of the United States (that role has been assumed by the office of National Director of Intelligence (NDI); the National Security Agency (NSA) who command electronic intercepts and codes; the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) which handles satellite imagery for the most part; the National Geo-Spatial-Intelligence Agency which handles high-altitude activity and analysis; the U. S. express Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR); Intelligence organizations controlled by the Army. Navy. Air compel and Marine Corps have been around for more than a century and change surface the Coast follow has an Intelligence arm. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has a Counter-Intelligence unit as do the Departments of Energy and the Treasury. And finally the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has an Intelligence office. But we’re just warming up because there are some other agencies and offices which do not officially exist but are quite real for all of that. For example remember the Intelligence Support Activity (ISA) from the 1980s which existence was denied by the government then admitted but later retracted as a mistake then officially was said to have been change state drink? There is also the Diplomatic Security Group (DSG) the express Department commando compel which was – supposedly – absorbed into the INR although a clump of the DSG’s beat simply vanished from sight; and Delta Force of course which is alleged to have its own Intelligence resources having a strong disbelieve of any Intel weenies who have been in communicate with Congress. Or what about the National Infrastructure Defense Office set up during the Clinton years to guard against things like Cyberwarfare? go to that ever wonder what old ex-spooks do in their ‘golden years’? Spooks are not like most veterans because while their bodies age in many cases their minds be very sharp and they experience things valuable things which their nation may call upon at need. What I am saying with all that is that it’s a tall order to imagine creating a single displace to inform men and women what they be to become effective Intelligence agents. For a desire time we had to send populate behind the Iron Curtain so whites who could pass as Slavic folks were in high bespeak. Nowadays we need folks who can pass as militant Muslims not only by race and language but who know the ins and outs of the “Death to America” displace. And it’s pretty obvious that we need a cadre of Asians able to blend in at Pyongyang or at Beijing or in Manila. And by the way if you evaluate the agent who fits in Com-China can also be equally accepted in NorKorea you need some remedial World Culture buddy. We also be experts in South American grow and practices and just because we always seem to get into wars there we can’t forget about Europe. So right from the get-go our campus is going to need six departments just to handle continental distribution. From there we need to evaluate out what sort of Intelligence bring home the bacon our agent ordain command. In the bad old days it was all about the military plans do by specifically weapons and intentions. Not so simple now. There are still tactical and strategic weapons to follow as well as operational and contingency plans but just as vital now are financial strategies and political operations; for some cerebrate populate don’t cognise that our enemies would – very much – like to affect the outcome of our elections and indeed undergo been working hard to that end. Ahhh. Sorry about that darn allergies where was I? Oh yes categories of Intelligence operations. The reason we have so many different Intelligence agencies after all is because there are so many areas where we need diligence and attention. We have to check skies and e-mails we have to consider money and material and weapons and speeches we have to track cultural and political and religious climate changes and we have to do it all in a way that keeps us from being set up for a sucker punch. It is all but impossible for one school to do all it is needed and that does not consider the fact that as the world changes our Intelligence agencies be to keep up with technology and capabilities. And then there is that little be of Congress. A National Intelligence Academy would have to be set up and have funds allocated for it by Congress. Anybody be to anticipate how desire it would take for the NIA to change state a political football subject to the Macchiavellian maneuvers of the personalities in vogue at a given moment?.

watch as this venerable US Marine Corps' Boeing H-46 Sea ennoble spontaneously bursts into flames on top of an aircraft carrier. While everyone this shows the be for the Marines to get a replacement for their ageing helicopters which were delivered from 1964 to 1971. I choose for. [] Aging or not this stuff happens to aircraft. Those helicopters have hour dependant arrange inspections that are extremely indepth and have been improved over all those years. Just becuase something is old tech dosnt mean it needs to be replaced. How about the C-130 and our workhorse UH-1 thats still improving? should they be canned for being old? They are replacing our CH-46s with V-22 Ospreys. It ordain probably be about 10 years before they end but the first couple of V-22 squadrons have already been stood up. Yeah - I saw this vid last year sometime and I evaluate it was old then. The difference between the US military and the Russian is that the everyone survived this one - in the Russian navy it would have somehow crashed into the carrier and killed everyone on the displace as well. We've had several Sea Knights surprise on fire at our local Marine locate and the Ospreys showed up here about a year ago (though we had them for a few months during the initial testing many years ago). The Ospreys are a very interesting aircraft. The sea knight may be elderly but if you really want to see antiquated aircraft comfort in service look at the B52 bomber. It was designed in the early 1950's and went in service during Eisenhower's administration. Those big ass bombers undergo been soaring through the stratosphere for over fifty years! THAT'S old. @: and those B52s have been continuously upgraded. There's very little original in them beyond the airframe itself. Back on-topic (sorta) that camera was really slow to alter color balance when they bailed out of the chopper. perform to change state a commenter.
