How you doing? Long time no see! I'm fine, thank you. Extremely busy, wild schedules, things required to be done last year not yesterday! You changed your screen name from one word? I thought another FReeper will shout at me: WHAT'DA YA MEAN BY NEWBIE? LOL!

[melancholy]

More than a dream. It's their plan, and some of the lefties on Fox's "News Watch" said as much last night.

I agree with you and wonder: Why would anyone want to rule the USA after reducing it to a Zimbabwe by knocking down its power (bashing and weakening the military), sovereignty (LEGALIZING ILLEGAL immigration), Authority (calling the CIC and government liars three times before and after every meal?

LOL! It was always supposed to be like this. I finally got around to changing it. ;*)

...gave the idea to terrorists to start staging executions of Iraqi civilians then burning or bombing the place and blaming it on our troops.

Gave the idea to - or - gave the signal to commence. No need for "electronic surveillance" that may be intercepted by the NSA, when you can use the "hallowed" halls of CONgress.

Removing tin foil hat now.........

I'm happy this came out. A while back when you changed, I thought I was going goofy. I was sure it had been one name. :-)

Thank you for an excellent post. I received a copy of General George S. Patton's speech that was made somewhere in England on June 5, 1944. I tried to find a segment that wasn't laced with so many expletives that would give an idea of the difference between him and John Murtha. Here is one comment: "Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bs. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight. When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American."

I realize Patton never had to contend with Korea and Vietnam, but things might have been different if he had. I can only imagine what Patton would say to Murtha if he were still alive!

No need for "electronic surveillance" that may be intercepted by the NSA, when you can use the "hallowed" halls of CONgress.

Even if intercepted by the NSA: "how dare you monitor my call to my relative, Abu Musaab Al Murthawi? It's free speech, blah blah blah. I'm supposed to be a member in the "hallowed" HOLES of CONgress.

Sorry, forgot to copy you on #29

[Matt Bruce]

Absolutely TRUE! My dad fought under Patton with the 82nd Airborne during the Battle of the Bulge and went all the way to Berlin with Patton's 3rd Army. He'd roll over in his grave if Murtha's comments actually lead to any kind of weakening or surrender of our position in Iraq and the World...

Thanks for the Patton comments! My dad would thank you too, if he was still alive...

[PeskyOne]

Would you like a copy of the speech? It contains a lot of profanity, but I could send it to you via Private Reply.

LOL! I see you have been working hard on perfecting your rhetoric...or does that just come with seniority? ;*)

[Matt Bruce]

ABSOLUTELY! Send It!

No hard work, rather, worked-up on them traitors. I just hope that we don't get too divided and angry at our RINOS to let the traitors take the country over in '06 and '08

The best way is to have petitions to enable us to recall politicians and make new state laws to prevent governors from replacing the recalled one with another from an opposite party. A RINO could be replaced in 6 weeks and we don't have to fight it out between ourselves, sit on our hands and enable the crooks to win.

Scary.

Has anyone considered the dates? For instance, the alleged Haditha incident took place on November 19, 2005.

A heated "debate" took place in the US House of Representatives on November 18, 2005. Rep. Murtha called for the immediate withdrawal of US troops in Iraq. A vote followed and was defeated 400-3.

I find this very "curious" for the lack of a better word.

Given the difference in time zones it may have happened at the same time.

[Just A Nobody]

IIRC, the vote took place around 8-9 PM, which would have been 4-5 AM in Iraq.....I think.

[usmcobra]

I can't remember did Muthra vote against his own bill?

I think he did.
