If this is the position of the Democrats, then let them run on it in '06 and we'll see where it goes.

Works for me.

They have become very adept at shooting themselves in the foot, haven't they?

Am I mistaken, or is this report leaving out the soldiers who didn't go along with Murthas sniveling...except for the sergeant who said the morale was high?

Heh, I'm betting it's not the front half, either.

Pennsylvania Rep. John T. Murtha commanded the stage and a live national television audience with unbowed resolve to defend his call for the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq last Thursday, spellbinding an overflow crowd of 600 at a town meeting hosted by Rep. Jim Moran in the Ballston area of Arlington.

Murtha’s credentials as a respected, veteran member of Congress with a strong record of supporting national defense has given enormous credibility to his call...

Such a sterling display of objective reporting ... not.

It's been their position since we invaded Iraq... they've only recently came out of the closet to say it. Hell... they wouldn't have gone into Afghanistan either. We'd still be in the UN 'bitchin 'bout 9/11 if fat Al won in 2000.

What we have here folks is the American, Socialist-Peace Party. Peace at any cost... where the real enemy is the private-sector.

"After a year in Iraq and being honorably discharged, he said, he’s come home to “no job, no health insurance, and $30,000 in debt to my education."


Maybe he should have reenlisted?

“It’s about people thirsting for a policy that makes sense, instead of an open-ended policy with no exit strategy.”

It matters not how many times President Bush clearly states we'll be leaving once the Iraqi security forces and military can handle the situation themselves, the Murthas of the world will claim there's no "exit strategy."

Gay Pioneers to Be Guests of The Falls Church News-Press at HRCs Silver Anniversary Dinner

WASHINGTON, September 27 (PRNewswire) – Two of the original ‘gay pioneers’ who kicked off the modern civil rights movement for lesbians and gays with demonstrations in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia in the mid-1960s, will be the special guests of the Falls Church News-Press, a progressive weekly newspaper in Northern Virginia suburbs of the nation's capital, at the Human Rights Campaign’s 25th Anniversary National Dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, October 1.

Frank Kameny and Lilli Vincenz, long known for their seminal roles in the movement in its early days prior to the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City, are the guests this Saturday of the Falls Church News-Press, whose founder and owner Nicholas F. Benton was also an activist in the formative days of the movement just after Stonewall in the San Francisco Bay Area."

We already had a vote on immediate withdrawal. Murtha voted against it. Did this half-wit forget about that?

Dear Rep Murtha,
  1. Why won't you release your military records?
  2. Why do you give three different versions as to how you received your 'war wounds'?
  3. Why do you give three different versions of WHERE you were 'wounded'?
  4. Why didn't you miss one day of duty because of your 'wounds'?
  5. Why are there no medical-hospital records, nor recollection of the doctors in your unit as to treatment of your 'war wounds'?
  6. Is it true that one of your 'war wounds' was a scratch on your cheek that required only a band aid.
  7. Why weren't you indicted for your involvement in ABSCAM?
  8. Did you cut a deal with the FBI on ABSCAM?
  9. During the ABSCAM investigation by the House Ethics Committee why did you admit (almost in tears) on the floor of the House, that; "you didn't deserve your two Purple Hearts"? And to a Democrat colleague no less.

Thank you. I'll sit down and wait for my answer.


(crickets....)
