John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Harry Reid, John Murtha, Wesley Clark, Howard Dean, and those of your ilk, where were you when God created the world?
Senator Hiram Johnson in a 1917 speech before the US Senate said, “The first casualty when war comes is truth.”
I’m not speaking of George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, I refer to each of you and either your total sacrifice of integrity for the sake of political expedience, or maybe each of you has simply lost your mind, or just maybe you misplaced your testes. “Pull out of Iraq immediately,” you decry, and most of you have visions of leading our country, especially in these years following the cowardly sneak attack of September 11, 2001? You have got to be kidding! I would not follow any of you to a public undressing of Catherine Zeta-Jones, much less off to war.
Whatever happened to the great statesmen of the democratic party, the John Kennedy’s, the FDR’s, the Harry Truman’s?
Wesley Clark, you are a retired Army general and John Murtha, a retired Marine colonel. Did you two completely forget a code of honor, supporting our troops, and tenacity in the face of adversity? Yes, you did, all for politics, which is empirically more important to you than the safety and psychological well-being of our fighting men and women from whose ranks you rose. How many men under your commands died, so you could betray their legacy of courage by talking about cutting and running in the midst of a war? Neither of you served with any more honor or courage than me, and I gladly will take you to the woodpile for your comments.
Ted Kennedy, you are quite simply a political pimp, who could not even get hired as a lifeguard away from Washington or your family’s money and name. John Kerry, if I had my way, you would be in prison for treason, and Harry Reid and John Dean, all you two have to do is occasionally open your mouths and you save me the trouble of commenting on your actions.
How dare you! How dare you aid and abet the enemies of freedom, of democracy, of man’s inherent right to live without oppression, because of your egomaniacal visions of being one of the great statesmen of our time! Believe me, your actions simply will make you a speck of dust in an unread history book, and a few quickly-forgotten public flashes while being devoured by the multi-headed, gluttonous network news monster.
If you really want to go down in history, become part of the solution, not the problem. You do not publicly say our President lied to go to war. You all know better, but every time one of you makes such ignorant statements, al-Zarqawi laughs and bin-Laden chuckles. Each one of you is one of the most effective weapons of our enemy in a time of war. They use you, with your obedient cooperation. Why? So you or more in your party get into office. What a damnable reason to betray our troops! Hanoi taught our future enemies how to manipulate such a weapon decades ago, but people like you have forgotten all about “lessons-learned” in war. They got away with it with me in the sixties, but you are not going to get away with it with my sons in harm’s way. Every time flies like you leave the manure-pile of Beltway strategizing and try to land on the exposed skin of American public and leave your dung-covered tracks on the minds of innocent or misled Americans, I will be there with my fly-swatter, and I am not alone.

You know where flies hang out, right?
Near steaming piles of $h!t!
WHOA!
Spectacular post!
BEST I've seen yet on this issue!
BTW, which THREE voted FOR immediate pull out?
Maga BUMP!
"Every time flies like you leave the manure-pile of Beltway strategizing and try to land on the exposed skin of American public and leave your dung-covered tracks on the minds of innocent or misled Americans, I will be there with my fly-swatter, and I am not alone."
I like that analogy. Very appropriate.
I prefer chemical warfare to a fly swatter...but to each his own.
Cynthia McKinney was one. Of course.
I'm partial to explosives. No ant-hill is safe in my domain.
McKinney, Serrano, Wexler were the three that voted yea.
Wow, what a great piece!
McKinney,Wexler and Serrano
Please tell me that you've sent this to every member of Congress!
Elections don't mean anything....there were elections in America. Abraham Lincoln was elected and there was a civil war. So Weasley has deduced that Iraq will turn to a civil war after their elections.
Did you ever hear such evil wishful thinking???????
Powerful words, and true....
My only regret is that the dung heaps the article is about will probably never see it.
What bugs me the most about all this is the Kasich fellow travelers who say that Murtha and his ilk shouldn't be called out for their stabbing the country in the back since they've served. Brian Slavens, Ed Buchanan, Robert Haguewood, William Weisband, James Hall, Clyde Conrad, John Walker, Charles Anzalone, Robert Cordrey, Clayton Lonetree, Frank Nesbitt, Brian Slavens, and Benedict Arnold all served, too.
Cheney is too kind.
