I did not read it until today but Murtha actuall said "we can't win militarily".
This is not incredibly damaging to the morale of the troops and incredibly embolding to the scumbags our troops are fighting.
NewsMax.com reported yesterday that it was Murtha who convinced Clinton to withdraw from Somalia.
Murtha is gutter filth masquerading as a human being.
" I did not read it until today but Murtha actuall said "we can't win militarily". "
Read the Murtha quotes to get a sense of how Kerryish he really is. And at the very bottom, is the epilogue from his latest book.
He was against withdrawal from Iraq before he was for it.
The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer , Nov 17,2005
Murtha: Well, I say that the fight against Americans began with Abu Ghraib.
It began with the invasion of Iraq.
That's when terrorism started.
Meet The Press , Sunday Nov 20, 2005
REP. JOHN MURTHA :The U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily.
REP. MURTHA: Tim, I'm absolutely convinced that we're making no progress at all,
REP. MURTHA: ...We've become the enemy.
REP. MURTHA: ..There's no question we're going in the wrong direction and we're not winning.
REP. MURTHA:.. Even the military operations, Tim, when we throw people out of their homes, cause us tremendous problems.
REP. MURTHA: ..We have increased terrorism in the Middle East, is what we've done.
Murtha Speech, Nov 17, 2005
"....U.S. forces have become a catalyst for violence."
" All of Iraq must know that Iraq is free. Free from United States occupation."
Here's what Murtha wrote in the epilogue of his last book -"From Vietnam to 9/11: On the Front Lines of National Security "
"A war initiated on faulty intelligence must not be followed by a premature withdrawal of our troops based on a political timetable.
An untimely exit could rapidly devolve into a civil war, which would leave America's foreign policy in disarray
as countries question not only America's judgment but also its perseverance."
"It would be an international disaster I think if we pulled out."
