Interesting that you raise the specter of the French. There was a time when they were staunch allies and able warriors. Click below for the history of such a time when the French were critical to our survival as a nation.

Latest column: "What If the French Had Pulled a 'Murtha' in 1781?"

I made a mistake -- am really sorry. I've got a knot in my tummy and I'm ready to go thru the TV screen.

Exactly

I was in Washington DC when 30,000 or so communist terrorist supporting dregs of society marched through the streets.

Some of the marchers were veterans and proudly told us so.

The veterans in our crowd let them know that now they are traitors and should be tried and shot or hung as traitors. Their past service gives them no right to now support the enemies of the USA.

They are no better than Kerry.

You're right. We supported the UN resolution, but had no troops on the ground. It was a defensive position, and not regime change.

CNN is just broke in to hear Murtha speak. CNN has no shame.

Dang....now we have some clown that wants to just take the vote...and is going on about how wonderful BOTH sides are...

WHY didn't the GOP pick some better speakers???

Howlin...this has ruined my weekend...I was so hoping that Meet the Press with Murtha and Fat Timmy was gonna be so "yesterdays news"....

but, now Fat Timmy will kiss his butt for an hour...

jeez louise...Murtha back? Yeah, lets be as negative as possible...

Now he is reading a letter from a soldier...and yet whenever a GOP guy tried that...he would be booed by the dems..

You got that right and Clinton's slashing of the budget hit each branch of the services at about a 30% cut rate.

Murtha, reading a letter from a soldier's wife, holds it up and says "this is a soldier saying this."

I'm tired of that guy. All I hear is Mutha, Murtha, Murtha.

Me too. Now he is reading a letter from an antiwar family.

Did the soldiers who captured Ticonderoga sh*t on their comrades?

Only their commander did this, one Benedict Arnold.

Murtha is cutting the throats of our Marines and using his former military service as a shield.

Curt Weldon - yes - understand - and don't know why the WH is not supporting exposure of Able Danger.....but I just didn't think today is the time to criticize the President as a
"enemy" of the new Al Jazeera hero Murtha!

Murtha reading coached lines from a supposed soldier.
Can anyone say propaganda?

"I had to come to FR for some sanity. Murtha's pointing fingers everywhere except at himself. If he's been on the defense appropriations subcommittee for 25 years how come all our equipment us now crap? In 1999 we were cannibalizing aircraft for spare parts-he kept his fat mouth shut then."

He was too busy diverting money back to his home district's pork barrel projects. And probably his pocket.
