Haditha and Conservatives

For those who have been stuck in a box, there is a major investigation in the killing of two dozen innocent Iraqi citizens by US marines. There are too many links to this, so if you want to learn more, just type in Haditha on Google search. Not only has the marines come under much fire, but even more is on Bush and his administration, because the argument is that situations like this are inevitable in a long war that has lost much of its meaning.

In any case, that being the background, read this comment by conservative radio host, Rush Limbaugh attacking the liberals and the media (synonymous? sure, I won't go into that):

"This Haditha story, this Haditha incident, whatever, this is it folks, this is the final big push on behalf of the Democratic Party, the American left, and the Drive-By Media to destroy our effort to win the war in Iraq. That's what Haditha represents — and they are going about it gleefully. They are ecstatic about it ... Folks, let me just put it in graphic terms. It is going to be a gang rape. There is going to be a gang rape by the Democratic Party, the American left and the Drive-By Media, to finally take us out in the war against Iraq. Make no bones about it," - Rush Limbaugh, said Monday.

I am not sure why he is making that argument. The fact is...there is conflict in this story. There is drama in this story. This story is what makes news. If this had happened during Clinton's administration, you can be sure it would be in the news. I am beginning to wonder if conservatives could stop crying about this matter as an attack from the liberal media and own up to being...GET THIS WORD............WRONG!!!

This is almost as sad as a black person going into a delicatessen without seating and say, "Why won't you give me a seat? Is it because I'm black?" The complaints that are made are invalid and irrelevant.

The bottom line is that the Haditha matter is wrong. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
