#1 Thus far its tantamount to keeping the Democratic Party, aka the MSM/LeftMedia, a viable political contender by headline sensationalism and related. He "scalpelizes" almost like AL SHARPTON and KATRINA-GATE. O'Reilly keeps shooting Sharpton's anti-Bush, anti-Fed, and anti-Federalism criticisms down with "Bush vs Clinton" statistics, to which ole' AL merely argues "THATS NOT MY POINT" - in between Washington pols are publicly climbing on the anti-Fed KATRINA-GATE bandwagon, Nagin and Blanco are now quitely trying to introduce vital reforms to NOLA and State planning wid barely a whimper.

#4 Didn't John F'ng Kerry go to France to meet with the Viet Cong? Massey is simply carrying on the fine tradition, a gent with a donk future no doubt.

Incidentially, this yaawho was campaigning for Kerry in Iowa in '04. I remember reading about him.

#5 Massey will regale the the gullible French with tales of CIA missions to ~~Cambodia~~ Syria, silver star worthy singlehandedly ~~blowing away a wounded teen~~ capturing a village, and his doggie VC AQ blown off his ~~Swiftboat~~ tank by a ~~mine~~ IED and onto another ~~Swiftboat~~ tank. Deja, effing, vu.

#7 The answer is simple. He has admitted to crimes, we should try to extrodite him and put him on trial to get to the bottom fo this publicly (especially since we know he's lying). We should harrass the French for protecting an admitted war criminal and putting him on a pedistool rather than putting him up on trial at the Hague.

Force them to admit they are either full of shit regarding (a) Human rights (b) the World Court (c) This guys book.

They say once a Marine always a Marine. Is there anyway to revoke that for bringing shame upon the Marines for profit and a fauning Anti-American public?

#8 I feel sorry for him. He's mentally ill.

#9 Published in France to avoid US libel laws?

I mean, allegations of crime are libel per se, right? So anyone in his battalion could sue him if he published his lies in the US.

C'mon, Massey. Don't be a pussy. Publish in the US. I'm sure there are people who will support your legal defense; I know I'll help support the offense.

#10 Massey said he later found several rocket-propelled grenades propped on a wall some 500 feet away. He interpreted the demonstrators' failure to use the weapons as a sign of their peaceful intentions.

Oh horsesheet, it means that they didn't get a chance to use it. There were plenty of fedayeen around back then to require high security.

Not having a functional Iraqi army set the tone.

#11 Massey said he was in charge of a platoon in the 3rd Batallion of Regimental Combat Team 7

I've never heard a Marine unit identified in these terms before. If its is real, someone from his platoon should start making noise about what really happened. Marines I've known would not be happy to have someone trying to make a buck by taking a dump on their honor and making the mission more dangerous for those still in combat. This guy is talking trash about his buddies, the nation and the Corps.
