Contrary to popular PC, Murtha is not pro-Military nor a real military strategist. What he is is a defeatist who happens to have been a decorated Vietnam War Veteran. Sort of like Kerry if you ask me.

"The Germans don't want us in France and we should withdraw!" Of course the French didn't want us there either.

For Murtha and others like him, the preferred exit strategy is always defeat. For him, Viet Nam is the paradigm for every engagement. Had men like him been in charge during the Second World War, it would have ended with Dunkirk.
Having seen our efforts in Viet Nam come down to scenes of soldiers and refugees hanging from helicopters as they frantically escape from their enemy, having seen that abandoning the fight cost millions executed in Cambodia and Viet Nam itself, and generations living under totalitarian regimes in the years since, having seen the results of a Viet Nam mentality in Somalia, he wants to act it all out again in Baghdad.
The guy is shameful.

Exactly. I'm tired of so many people trying to insinuate that because he's a veteran, he can do no wrong. As some of us keep pointing out, Benedict Arnold served honorably before he turned traitor. Unfortunately, not all veterans are made of the same stuff as Ollie North. (Just one name of many, but this one comes to mind easily.)

I wanted the troops out of Somalia, too--once they finished cleaning the streets with the vermin who attacked us.

So Mr. Murtha sounds like an ex-Marine who has gone dovish.

And now the Islamic Terrorist in Somalia (called pirates by the delusional MSM) are threatening international sea waters out to 200 miles off the Somalia coast.
To: West Coast Conservative
After terrorists attacked U.S. troops in Mogadishu, Somalia 12 years ago, anti-Iraq war Democrat, Rep. John Murtha urged then-President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from the region. So.....he has years of experience in pulling a Murtha!

"Bug Out" Murtha wants us to run away and discredit the sacrifice of everyone who has or is serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Just because he's a Vietnam vet doesn't mean his opinion is any better than any of the other far-left peacenik crowd. Most vets of all our wars know freedom needs to be constantly defended. A few, like Murtha & the French looking Kerry, forget that lesson.
