Out of the mouth of a Capt B, a Marine serving in Iraq:
"Holy Crap Bat Man I could write a whole Blog entry on Sen Murtha. He came here in Iraq a couple months ago. Praising us for what a great job we did. He visited places out west like Haditha and told the Marines there we are going to let you finish what you started as I listened. He probed about requirements and gear and moral and was somewhat disappointed that we had what we needed and kept asking well what do you really need trying to find a problem. HE defiantly just pissed off a majority of the military now and has gone 180 degree from what he was saying and preaching about Finishing the job when he was face to face with us. He has been to Iraq ONCE for 3 days. Everything he is saying now is exactly the opposite of what he was saying when he was with us. He makes sound like he is a front line troop as he speaks. He is two faced and I have seen it first hand standing in front of him as he spoke to us. This is a very sad ploy by the democrats and will do nothing but hurt our troops."
Any questions?
MURTHA PULLED HIS POLL !!!!!
There was no oversight. I was hitting send forever and it counted every one.
The primary purpose of these polls is to get email addresses so that they can bombard you with political hate speech.
I voted for a draft. we might not need it for Iraq but I guarantee it is needed. Sure we got enough able bodied men right now, but when the shemp hits the fan we dont have 6 to 12 months to train up raw recruits. So does he legislate by polls or what?
Your link to the poll still works...so I'm submitting forever
How 'bout
"We should re-instate the draft to ramp our forces, up the military budget for equipment and training, and crusade thoughout the Middle East destroying terrorists and the nations that support them, like Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, along with that ridiculous little half-nation, 'Palestine.'"
I also used my army.mil address :p
little ray you have my thoughts exactly, use Iraq as a staging area. I know iran is feeling the squeeze already
"I can't find an email, where I'd like to ask the question "Why don't you publicize the results, you old fool." "
Oh, he will. Now that it's clear he wasn't going to really get the answer he wanted, he'll instead thank us all for our submissions and then come back claiming that only those who voted for 'no matter how many years' were for the war and everyone else (including the None of the Above) was all for a pullout.
Since there'll be no inconvenient page-captures to dispute his new results, he'll say whatever numbers he wants and the media will print it.
So did I, but women should register as well.
Not for frontline combat positions, of course.
But they can certainly make a valuable contribution in support units.
Yep; and now he can claim the results are anything he wishes, as well....Lenin had a saying for that.
Looks like repeated voting allowed. Hard to tell. my name for the poll was "pelosi'spetidiot"
"If you are not a Constituent of the 12th Congressional District of Pennsylvania please click here to find your Congressman." Doesn't look like he wants to hear from outside his district. From his contact page.
Done.
We should maintain current troop levels until Iraq builds an army to defend and stabilize their country, even if that takes years.
That's how I voted!
Be Ever Vigilant ~ Bump!
LOL!!! I hear you on that one!
