Well done. Red.

What I want to see done is, after all of these Haditha cases are resolved, all of the Republican Members of Congress bring a Motion for Censure and Expulsion of Congressman Murtha, on the grounds of Sedition and Treason.

Fat chance, I know -- but we should ask and get an answer as to why not.

Lets start contacting Wolf Blitzer and ask him to demand an answer from John Murtha about the statements Murtha made to him about the Haditha Marines.

Murtha was and still is either a grossly uninformed Congressman, a Congressman who used the opportunity to use this incident for his own political gain, a flat out liar or possibly all three.

Contact Blitzer and other news media and ask them to get some answers from Fat Jack Murtha!

>> The Marines were under fire that morning.
>> LCpl Sharratt and his squad mates (Cpl Salinas and SSgt Wuterich) protected women and children from harm as they pursued suspected insurgents...

This I believe.

When the investigating officer recommended dismissing the charges against Justin Sharratt, people began calling Murtha’s office to voice their opinions. Comments from Murtha’s staff were that he wouldn’t comment because the investigation was “on-going”. Well now that this process is OVER, Murtha can’t hide behind that excuse anymore.

Murtha wasn’t shy when he tried to condemn and convict these Marines. Now what will he say to callers?

You’re exactly right!

He hid under his deak supposedly because the investigation was still on-going.

I believe the coward will still hide under his desk now that it’s over for Justine Sharratt, Murtha is too despicable to ever admit he was wrong.

Thanks for posting those.

I want to see this get even a FRACTION of the attention that the malfeasance of Nifong received. (And it should receive MUCH MORE! These men are fighting for US!) Comparisons to Nifong, though, would be good as well. Let's see the talking heads express outrage that these Marines were part of some political agenda.

Yeah, I suppose that is too much to hope for, but if they get enough mail...

Getting busy now.

Imagine if the passion everyone at FR poured into defeating the immigration bill was now given to shining a light on this issue so that liar Murtha and his enablers in the press would be exposed for the unpatriotic military haters and opportunists they are. Our borders would be entirely different were it not for the sacrifice of men like these through out our history. I know it’s too much to ask, but a girl can dream.

It’s nothing short of treason by Murtha and he should be put on trial for it. He knew his comments would aid the enemy in the propaganda campaign and if he wishes to mitigate any involvement he had then he needs to out the contact he has in the defense dept.
