MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.; Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt; Dr. Julie Gerberding, director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Dr. Anthony S.

I thought it was funny when the DUmocrats booed & hissed everytime a positive letter was read, but Murtha was allowed to rant on and on about "letters" from wounded soldiers (that fit within his agenda).
I am sure there are many FReepers who will be interested in this, but I can't specifically remember who they might be : ( I was looking for Murtha's actual military history and Whaaaaala!

Why John Murtha is Right!
By Larry Johnson | bio
From: Foreign Affairs
John Murtha's courageous call for American troops to leave Iraq is the right policy at the right time. The Bush chickenhawks already are impugning Murtha's patriotism, but when you have a purple heart and a silver star compared to a President with a spotty attendance record with the National Guard and a Vice President with five deferments, that dog don't hunt.
There is more at the link.
Great posts today Seattle.
The RATS twist everything

No Rod. Remember we discussed this last week. I will judge the ones that reach 1000. When YOU are the Judge, the goal is 1,500. But looking good. We must be over 500 now.
That's all right slueth. This has been our week and a big one as well.
I do not think with the Peanut Farmer Rabbit Killer that it is about Money. I believe Jmmah is like a petulant child that wants all the attention in the room from everybody there. He is Narcissistic like Slickie,and he has a mean streak and is vengeful. Jimmah was a serious narcissist long before he was a complete laughing stock as a President. He has spent almost every waking moment since he got drummed out of Office trying to win the Respect of the Masses, and redeem himself. He sucks up to Murderous Dictators, and runs around behind This President and other President's backs sliming our Policies to left wing leaders. He tried unsuccessfully for many years to lobby for a Nobel Peace Prize, and he finally made it by his Constant criticism of The Bush 41/43 Presidencies. He knew they gave him the Prize for that reason only, but he did not care, he can rationalize even to himself that he earned it by doing something good for Mankind. The only thing that I remember he does well is build Houses. I have never seen him do anything except pound a nail though. My Jack Russell dog or a Monkey can be taught to pound a nail.
Larry Johnson is still sore from 2004!
I hope it does MNJohnie. Goin' to church now (my timezone is several hours behind yours), and really look forward to reading the Sunday Morning Talkshow Thread later today.
Positively spooky how big things always happen when Rush goes on vacation.
Remember the MSM/DNC are not the only game in Town anymore.
Isn't that the truth and I thought "can't wait to hear Brit" only to be extremely let down to see what the 'panel' consisted of----.
We all have to be careful not to fall into the trap the Pubs did this week. The press is trying it's best to "talk" fear into conservatives.
If you listen to the MSM they keep chanting W's poll #'s from 2 weeks ago. They are going up...and the reason is they could not reach the same 700 or so Democrats they have been calling this past month because it seems they have all gotten jobs.
Besides...all of these little political episodes have staying power of only a week or two. Notice how the press has not talked much about an upcoming election in Iraq, except only in passing. The Dems and MSM are purposely trying to get enough negativity out there about Iraq in general that the successful election will not have much effect.
Remember the nail in the coffin for the Dems it was when in the STOUS the President had a woman from Iraq who voted in the audience? The Dems need to create an atmosphere to lessen that elections impact on American politics. It is the Dems in a precarious situation and I am loving it.
So what do we need to do to counter war on lies crap...say to your liberal friends " So how do you think the election will turn out?" It takes the debate to where is should be. We all want good things in Iraq so maybe we should engage ourselves in what would be positive for Iraq.
Rejoice! We are winning. The fact the MSM is not saying so should not suprise you but should encourage you. We all know how lazy they are...and it is obvious they are having to put in some overtime to refute the good news!
Photo of the day here!!
She was delivering a message from a member of the armed services. The message included somthing resembling the following:
"And I have a message for Congressman Murtha; Cowards cut and run, but Marines never do"
So, you are right. Jean Schmidt didn't use her words to mean that Murtha was a coward. It is arguable whether or not the message she was delivering was meant to label Murtha a coward. I any event, the words will not be part of the Congressional record because Jean Schmidt sought and obtained unanimous consent to have them withdrawn. But her delivery was prime time news ;-)
Not mentioned was his long pursuit to get it and that Arafat got it too....you know, that peace loving Arafat.
