"Oh, oh.....I think Murtha just stepped in it. Something about ordering a soldier home who wanted to stay there."

Yep. And he dragged him back anyway.

Probably a family dispute Murtha jumped into for political points.

"The Iraqis against us" because of "Abu Ghraib"

The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer , Nov 17,2005

Murtha: Well, I say that the fight against Americans began with Abu Ghraib.
It began with the invasion of Iraq.
That's when terrorism started.

Whoa! Captain Scabble!

No tolerance on your part for a different opinion, I see.

Pompous windbaggery...

That must have taken some time in the thesaurus to find those words... (Is windbaggery even a word)

Isn't Sam Johnson the conservative Texas Democrat turned Republican? I believe he was a featured speaker at the Freep House Managers' Appreciation Banquet in DC right after Bubba's impeachment.

This soft-spoken guy is the perfect man to end up this debate. He's making sense! The House chamber is listening!

Texas.

"They stand up for us, every minute of every day."

"AJ has withdrawal story on their front page"

"We're making great progress in Iraq."

"The media predicts doom and gloom, and what happens?...
"purple fingers"
"breakthrough for democracy"
"support for democracy and hope for future"

"We must stay the course and create hope for millions in the ME"
