From The Pirate’s Cove:

(CNSNews.com) - The parents of a U.S. Marine accused of killing three Iraqis execution-style in Haditha in late 2005 said Thursday they would ask Congress to censure Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) for saying that the Marines “overreacted” during the incident and killed civilians “in cold blood.”

“It’s too late for an apology,” Darryl Sharratt of Canonsburg, Pa., told Cybercast News Service after the hearing officer in the case, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, released an 18-page report recommending that all charges against Sharratt’s son, Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, be dismissed because his actions “were in accord with the rules of engagement and use of force.”

Sharratt said that he, his wife Theresa and other supporters of their 22-year-old son were planning to visit Martha’s office, and “we’re going to ask for more than an apology.”

“We need this man censured by our Congress,” he said, because “he denied my son — and the other Marines involved — their constitutional rights to a fair trial and a presumption of innocence.”

The Saboteur John Murtha owes these Marines and the American people a LOT more than an apology!! Perhaps they should get some of the kick-back pork money Murtha has made all his years in Congress at the expense of the people of Pennsylvania.

Murtha claims to have been a Marine at one point. The problem I have with his claim is that ‘once a Marine always a Marine’. My father was a Marine in World War II and Murtha is no Marine.

I agree with Teach at the Pirate’s Cove, Murtha should be impeached for using his office to score political points at the expense of our Marines during a time of war. He had the power of his office and these Marines suffered the consequences of his political ambition.

It is criminal that he is not impeached.

Murtha is a traitor to the country. He puts his own ambition and self interest ahead of the good of the country. He is not a representative of the people. His only interest is in enriching himself by whatever means necessary.

I think what aggravates me the most is that when Murtha made his accusations back in 2005 it all all over the news. Everyone knew about the mean Marines who killed those people ‘in cold blood’. Now, two years later, the Marines are cleared of the charges and not a peep of the charges being dismissed is on the news.

The accusation is front page news. The acquittal is a paragraph hidden in the bowels of the news somewhere.
