Frankly I never heard the name Murtha until yesterday and wondered why one congressman, whose opinion I did not respect, warranted as much coverage as he got for denouncing the war. After listening to him speak, I still question what the fuss is about. He's been in congress for over 20 years and this is the first we're hearing from him?

Then you were out of it. Jack Murtha was a MAJOR proponent of Gulf War I -- more so than anyone on the Democrat side except for Stephen Solarz. Without the support of him and other Democrats, we could not have gone to war -- we didn't have the House back then, remember.

He's wrong now, but he has been staunch many, any times in the past. That's why his voice means more than the CBC and all of the 'Rat leadership put together.

A staunch supporter of our troops? Than explain this why he voted NO for a troop pay raise but a yes vote for his own.
