Murtha is a traitor. Honorable Ameicans do not support let alone praise his perfidy.

Murtha is a traitor.

Traitors weren't in the Marine Corps for 30 years. Traitors didn't volunteer to go to Vietnam.

Unfortunately, to the simple-minded BushBot, anyone who doesn't toe the line and parrot the Dubya Rationalization of the Week (TM) is a "traitor."

Grow up and learn to debate beyond insults. Some people think our troops are in the way of Iraq's progress. Others think that our troops are stuck in a quagmire. Neither are traitors for wanting to end that situation.

Attack his policy and idea. It is shot full of illogical thinking and factual inaccuracies. Attacking the man is the very thing most of us in FR have accused the left of doing to this administration and telling ourselves and anyone that would listen that the American public does not want to hear this.

When you say: - When he further says, "they" (meaning our soldiers and Marines) "have become the enemy" and that terrorism actually started with their deployment to Iraq in 2003?

You are correct. He is so clearly wrong, and provably incorrect. 9/11 was in 2001

When you say: - When the evidence is actually quite to the contrary, that our soldiers and Marines have performed magnificently in achieving their objectives, that the insurgency is on the ropes, and Democracy is taking root in the Middle East in consequence of the brave and faithful efforts of our soldiers and Marines?

Again, you are absolutely correct in your thinking.

When you say: - When the natural tendency of such words is to undermine the morale of our soldiers and Marines and to enocurage the flagging spirits of the terrorists who kill our soldiers and Marines?

You are right! But, you are preaching to the choir here at Free Republic. You can take your statements above and convince the majority of Americans that you are correct...

Right up to the point that you start smearing the man. At that point you lose the majority of Americans.

In short, you'll win all the battles in this argument but will lose the war.

Murtha is a traitor. Honorable Ameicans do not support let alone praise his perfidy.

"Congressman Murtha is a fine man, a good man who served our country with honor and distinction as a Marine in Vietnam and as a U.S. congressman," Bush said.

Please add one more to your ever-growing list of Dishonorable Americans. Then, for the love of God and Country, check yourself.
