Rep. John P. Murtha is continuing his assault on the Bush administration's Iraq war policy, asserting this week that the U.S. Army is "broken, worn out" and "living hand to mouth."

The Pentagon and a senior Republican senator sharply disagreed with his assessment.

Mr. Murtha is now a complete and total fool.

I used to admire this guy for his past service to the nation when he was in uniform.

Now I think it would be wise for Mr. Murtha to keep his mouth closed...because everytime he opens it these days he hurts the United States and damages the morale of the troops. He should be ashamed.

Betcha he isn't.

"You cannot win this thing militarily," Mr. Murtha said later at a press conference. "Most of [U.S. troops] will be out of there in a year if I have my way."

Again, Murtha is not only a traiot but

MURTHA IS A COWARD. A PUNK. A CANDYASS. A WUSS..

And some lickspittle will soon join the thread to say: "Say what you like about Murtha, but you cannot call him a coward! You can't! He was in Vietnam!"

So was John Kerry.

Murtha's words and actions are the actions of a coward and anything worthwhile he may have done in the past has been completely erased by his cowardice in the present.

He is a sickening, yellow-bellied traitor and any argument made in his defense is specious.

Our brave Soldiers just dug up 4,000 mortar rounds and 11 500 lb bombs!!

Murtha is an Old Senile war dog. with NO Military expertise.

Just a grunt. and a stupid Liberal one at that.

First they made me loose respect for a poor mother that lost her son, and now they are doing the same for a man who served his country well in the past.

Status: I pity the fool.

Like Cindy Sheehan, another new acolyte of the MoveOn, ANSWER crowd is overreaching.

Ollie North (I think it was) was on Tony Snow radio program this morning.

He said the reason Murtha is saying all this is because Murtha may be coming under Congressional investigation on some other issue(s). Murtha is wanting to make it appear that that investigation is retaliation for Murtha's opinion on the war.

If true, Murtha has a personal agenda in dissing the military and the war and the Administration.

Does he know there are Marines there too? It sounds like Murtha is listening to the same old retired Army generals who don't like the transformation reforms put in place by Rumsfield.

Nothing like a little aid and comfort for our enemies. Murtha is a disgrace.

Yes, John Kerry was a soldier and served in Vietnam just like Murtha.

And look at Kerry, what a stupid disembling whiner He is!!!

Just because you join the military, it is no cure for "Stuck on Stupid" Democrats like Murtha and Kerry.

and Have You noticed that bug-eyed Rat Pelosi? what a gutter-Slug! She started this little Murtha bitch-fest, and when it blew up in Her face She didn't even have the Guts to stick around, She ran and Hid like a cockaroach!!!


Pelosi has me convinced that the Anti-Christ is a woman.

He looks like he has Alzheimer's to me. People like that go further than misrepresenting their district. At the point he is now, he is a problem for the whole nation. I think he needs to be censured. Of course he won't be, after all he is a patriot and a great man. Everybody in the house wants to have sex with him (see Coulter's column)

that's funny. "Pelosi has me convinced that the Anti-Christ is a woman." Half right, I suppose.

How about treasonous old fool? This man has spent nearly twenty years in Washington as a congress critter ... he's been corrupted by the system. As far as his military background, speaking as a former Marine, this guy is a John Kerry type of combatant ... a total fraud.

Edd Hendee, a local radio guy here in Houston said it well -- "God bless him for what he did in the past, may the house of hell fall on him for what he's doing now."

I feel sorry for Casey's father, I do NOT feel sorry for Mother "F'er" Sheehan.

If a true patriot like Duke Cunningham had to be shamed, I want to see a damrat shamed in return. There has to be a reaction for every action.

Maybe, but I think he is repeating his same assertions from a year ago because the timing is now better for the left.

After Mr.Z blew up his countrymen in Jordan and was denounced by 250,000 protesters and his family, the left figures his power in Iraq may wane for a bit.

So they jumped in to take his place in defeating the US war effort.

And, the Dec 15 elections are coming up, which adds to their needs to humiliate the President and the US, painting the war as a failure now matter what the elections produce.

WE and the President MUST lose.
