This was Murtha's "John Kerry" moment, i.e. "I voted for the funding before I voted against it". It clearly indicates just how duplicitous and craven the Democrats and the MSM are, the former for quickly folding their tent and the latter for failing to report the obvious deception that was at hand.
Too, it was an amazing show of resolve on behalf of the Republican leadership who finally showed some backbone by calling for the vote, the result of which displayed the Dems for what they are: unprincipled opportunists who take delight in embarassing the President but who, when it counts, refuse to go on record.
The best part was watching Pelosi squirm and whine!
Someone needs to respond an ad along these lines:
We are advancing; the other direction is retreat.
We are driving to victory; you would change our direction toward defeat.
We want to secure a stable democracy in Iraq; your change in direction will provide terrorism a safe haven.
I was inspired Fri night by the men who vowed that their Vietnam experience would not be repeated. They have gotten no coverage. Instead,the media has gone ahead with their Murtha plan, as if that debate and vote had not happened.
THIS IS TREASONOUS! Why is this man posting his story in a Palentinian newspaper ..?? Only one reason - TO GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMY.
I'm stunned! But .. I probably shouldn't be.
But .. as the author of an article .. don't you have any say about WHO PICKS UP YOUR STORY ..?? Or .. can anyone pick up what you say in one paper and print it in another without your knowledge ..??
I understand that's how TV works, but it bothers me that ANYBODY can reprint what you say.
Go to hell Murfa
Probably so, but it shows how "aid and comfort" works, doesn't it? You don't have to pull a McDermott and go visit the enemy. You just have to give him "bulletin board" material to raise the morale of his fighters. This Murtha has done and the Islamists are grateful.
In a word. WRONGO!!!
This phony is willing to murtha. We can not allow him to sway public opinion.
B-b-but I thought Murtha's proposal was different from what the full House voted on!
Okay .. I was confusing him with a columist - sorry.
[Because we in Congress are charged with sending our sons and daughters into battle, it is our responsibility, our OBLIGATION to speak out for them. That's why I am speaking out.
Our military has done everything that has been asked of them, the U.S. can not accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. IT IS TIME TO BRING THEM HOME.]
Ah, the liberal left cowards with the yellow streak down their back ALWAYS want to cut and run. This cowardly lion was the same Murtha that called on Clinton to pull troops out of Somalia; a disaster that Osama Bin Laden was emboldened from and which led to the murder of 3000 Americans in New York in 2001 at a place called the twin towers, an incident that many Americans have chosen to forget until something happens again.
Pull the troops and the terrorist murderer's will be in the public school systems(remember Russia), and the underground mass transportation systems (remember Spain).
When America has backed down, millions of people have died, many our allies(remember Viet Nam and the killing fields of Cambodia caused the the cowardly liberal left wing pols).
I do.
the republicans "cut and run" in vietnam... remember.
i am so thrilled that john murtha had the guts to stand up and say what he did. he is a real american, not an echo chamber "ditto" head. i have a brother who has already served one tour in iraq and is about to go back for his second and i can tell you he doesn't support the war either but he does his job anyway because it is his duty. i wonder how many of you that post on this site really objectively look at the facts in regards to iraq. Not one single shred of evidence has proved any of the pre-war claims made by the white house. yet it is "cowardice" and "un-american" for dems to question any of this? wake up and realize that 65% of this country does not agree with most of what you people are repeating. don't trust the polls? ask people yourself, barely anybody really supports this war. my generations treasures (both human and monetary) are being squandered for what? a democratic iraq? right... even when we leave everybody knows iraq will descend into civil war. The republicans are gonna "stay the course" right out of office. God bless america!
