Captain May And Ghost Troop, A Character I Met In Crawford. Credible?

[DistressedAmerican]

Several of us spent quite a bit of time talking to Captain May. He claims to be ex-military intelligence and has come out hard against Bush . He definitely has a dose of conspiracy to keep anyone reading.

He is clearly highly motivated.

I have no definite opinion on the guy. But, he sure was interesting to talk to. He is a definite MIHOPer. Definitely believes it was a false flag op.

He also argues that many deaths in Iraq have been covered up. Particularly, he says that the 3/7th Cav came under heavy assault at the airport. He says it was seriously covered up because there were massive casualties. Main distraction being the totally bogus Jessica Lynch story.

I do not vouch for these theories. Just starting to follow up. But if true, this is a real travesty.

Take a look at his site. Tell me what you think. Help me confirm or debunk.

Here is a short snip to entice you:

Battle of Baghdad

You might now remember that on the night before the Battle of Baghdad began Saddam had promised us an attack… Well, he kept his promise. Friday night at 8:30 p.m. (Central), I was watching CNN showing the predawn of Saturday 5:30 morning half-way around the world in Baghdad…

All at once the skyline of the besieged city erupted with the flash and report of sustained explosions. The CNN people (Aaron Brown and Fredricka Whitfield) reacted with surprise, saying that U.S. public affairs hadn’t alerted them that there would be a major fire mission tonight. I immediately became anxious, knowing it exceedingly unlikely that public affairs hadn’t contacted affected media about a major fire mission in a choreographed war. “It probably wasn’t us doing the firing,” I thought.

In the next few minutes CNN’s reporter Walter Rodgers, embedded with the 3/7 Cavalry, attempted to make a report from the Baghdad Airport. Rodgers’ voice was indistinguishable because of the extreme background noise of artillery impacting around him, automatic small arms fire striking his vehicle and the shouts of the soldiers inside. It was the fog of war, no doubt about it. Aaron Brown offered no explanation of the noise, merely stiffly saying that the network was having technical difficulties.

Thankfully, Walter Rodgers’ luck held. A half hour later Fredericka and Aaron were off the clock and Larry King Live carried an interview between Rodgers and Lt. Col. Terry Ferrell – the commander of the very 3/7 Cavalry under fire at the airport. I had never seen the unit commander in two weeks of the TV war, so his sudden appearance was just more sad corroboration of my theory that we were getting the worst of it in the early Battle of Baghdad. Lt. Col. Ferrell bravely tried to keep a straight face as he told Rodgers that all was well at the airport, but ended up in tears; Rodgers was too choked up to pick up the conversation. The put-up interview was yet more tragic corroboration of my sad analysis, and I began to cry along with Lieut. Col. Ferrell and Rodgers, for the boys of the 3/7 Cavalry, remembering that I had once been a young cavalryman, too.

What do you think? Credible?
