James Taranto surprisingly missed this ironic juxtaposition from his catch-o-the-day.

Our soldiers are shown saving sick Iraqi children, while coincidently Rep. Murtha declares he would not join todays military. I thought it ironic but thats just me.

Rep. Murtha is lower than dirt in my opinion. His previous honorable service is appreciated, but he has hurt our nation and our soldiers with his partisan trash-mouthing.

He is talking down American power and that is never acceptable in wartime-- it emboldens our enemy. And that is why it is wrong.

Murthat gets worse every day. I think he's addicted to the MSM attention and has to get more and more outrageous. He's reprehensible, disgusting, and is stabbing our troops in the back!
