Is Murtha's "response" on any channel?

I'm not sure

But I do know that my local radio guy (DomG) is suppose to do an interview with Murtha around 1:30 to be played on his radio show tonight

A piece of Murtha's "response" was just on Fox. He repeated his claim that the US military is "not good at nation-building."

This senile old man needs to be boxed in both ears with two books. One is a history of General MacArthur's rebuilding of Japan after WW II. The other is the history of General Eisenhower's rebuilding of Germany after WW II.

Murtha has the bald-faced ignorance to say that "the presence of our troops builds hostility," and that "the military only destroys things."

Is this pompous fool who is outliving his 15 minutes of fame forgotten these two words: Nagasaki and Hiroshima? The Japanese had far more reason to hate Americans and not cooperate with the "occupation" (which Murtha decries) than the Iraqis now have, or ever will have.

History, which Bush has finally started to emphasize, demonstrates that Murtha is a walking, talking blithering idiot. I hope I'm not being too harsh on the gentleman. LOL.
