I post the full text of Murtha's possible alcohol enhanced histrionics so that it is possible to examine in the cold light of day what his hammy ranting actually contained. I also wanted to post this from this Isloamo source. Lest any think otherwise, any defeatest comment by anyone who can be construed as a US VIP will be highlighted througout the Arab world.

[claudiustg]

But Murtha voted against ending the war!

[The_Victor]

continued military action in Iraq is not in the best interest of the United States of America, the Iraqi people or the Persian Gulf Region

BZZZZZZZZZZZZT!

I don't need to read any further than this. Murtha is dead wrong.

[rhombus]

There already has been a planned draw-down after the next Iraqi election. Murtha makes a big noise now so he and the rest of his Rats nest can pretend they had something to do with the draw-down and collect needed campaign cash from thier buddies in MoveOn.org.

[Democracy In Iraq]

Nov 17: Murtha insists that we bring the troops home immediately (voted for it...)

Nov 18: Murtha votes against bringing the troops home immediately (...before he voted against it)

[gunnedah]

The US needs to send him as an Envoy to the terrorist camp to negotiate a peace treaty. When he finishes they may elect him as their leader. He must be in a drug induced stupor!

[RoadTest]

We need insanity vaccine more than "bird flu" vaccine. He voted AGAINST withdrawel?!?!

[Piquaboy]

That Mutha is something else.

[caddie]

Why didn't Murtha pipe up during Viet Nam, which was 20 times more quagmire, 20 times less organized, 5 times longer, and 25 times more deadly in terms of lives lost?

Oh, yeah, he was buffing his resume, getting his ticket punched, piling up his pension, getting promoted.

Can't have principles, mouth off, or resign your commission when you've got to look out for number 1.

Now that he's drawing his pension, well, now, he can pipe up.

[TexasCajun]

When Patriots Turn Into Democrats!

[b4its2late]

Murtha might be a war hero, but that doesn't make his views correct.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Murtha is exposing himself to be one stupid Mutha.

[samtheman]

I won't read one word of what he writes until he backs it up with a vote. If he doesn't believe in it, why should any of us even listen to it?

[Alberta's Child]

I would have had far more respect for Murtha if he had simply voted against the war back in 2002-03, as I would have.

Today, he comes across as nothing more than an unprincipled hack. He supported the war when the public supported it, and he's now opposed to it because public support for it has declined sharply.

BTW, I opposed this war from the beginning because I knew this was exactly where we would end up -- with a bunch of @ssholes in Washington chasing their own agenda regardless of how it impacts anyone else.

[mountainlyons]

This murtha is trying to fill the shoes of Hanoi Jane and two face kerry. AMERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

[Apercu]

Benedict Arnold was a hero of the Revolutionary War & one of George Washington's favorites until he committed treason.Murtha's military service was honorable - his service as a Congressman has become treasonous.

[layman]

Our military is suffering. The future of our country is at risk. We can not continue on the present course

The propaganda value off these statements to the Islamofascists is immense. Murtha is clearly aiding and abetting the enemy. His so-called 'plan for redeployment' is an absolute joke.

[SquirrelKing]

My guess is that Murtha & the Moonbats know/think that we'll probably be withdrawing/reducing troop force within the next 2-3 years anyway and by grandstanding think that they will be seen as a catalyst for the process already in place. We're already transitioning bases, even provinces to the Iraqis and when election time comes, they want to be able to claim that role for themselves or at least be seen as visionary. This is the same thing that Clinton did with welfare reform, & etc. The only other play in the Dem besides blame Bush for eveything from nosebleeds to asteroids.

At least thats MY opinion.

[Paine in the Neck]

It is very interesting where Murtha has chosen to go to mak his criticisms of US policy...

To immediately redeploy U.S. troops...

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!
