During a Town Hall meeting earlier this week Democrat Congressmen John Murtha (PA) and Jim Moran (VA) touted their call for a withdrawal from Iraq, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Moran and Murtha continued the anti-war diatribes which included their relating talks they've had with military officers and rank-and-file troops in Iraq. Murtha has said the military is broken, morale within the ranks is poor, we need to pullout immediately, and other defeatist rantings. Murtha had just finished his presentation during the Virginia townhall meeting, in which he added that he feared a slow withdrawal may give people the impression the US achieved victory (God forbid Americans think we're victorious), when he opened the meeting for a question and answer session. At that point a man stood and spoke: "Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sergeant Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause) "Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan. (End excerpt)
"that wasn't in the form of a question , that was in the form of a statement. Let's go over here." ??????
run away! run away!
Yay!....you tell um soldier! and God bless you !
telling that Murtha would not want people to think we won.
Rep. Moran, Rep. Murtha, you've just been punked.
unbelievable isn't it? How and why do these kind of people keep getting elected to office?
Ted Kennedy....
I sincerely hope the coming election sweeps as many of these traitorous idiots from their cushy positions as possible.
They cannot be left in place . For the good of the country !
These defeatist bastards need to run out of town on the proverbial rail....
A few wars and many years ago, people like Murtha were called Tories. At least we know who the America haters are now.
HAAAHAHAHA by the look on their faces they felt so stupid!!
....and they should
Ping!
One could easily say Sgt. Seavey made them look like a couple of fools, but all he did was expose them for what they are. :-)
He cleaned their clocks!
What I want to know is who believes these clowns?
The interim Gov was successful. The drafting of the constitution was sucsessful. The elections for the the first democratically elected Gov were successful,The Sunni minority no longer weild power, even the UN claims the results of the votes at better than 99% accurate. The Iraqi military and police are becoming more and more trustworthy by the day. Oh, and did I mention Saddam has been removed from power and Udai and Quasi have been removed from the gene pool?
Who ya gonna believe? Murtha? Or you own lying eyes?
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
This excellent video was run on Fox News a couple of times last week...
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
Note that Murtha and Moran showed disrespect to the soldier by not responding too.
These to are pigs
I get a kick out of people like Murtha and Durbin and Scott Ritter, etal who for all practical purposes, are unknown until they make a statement that the press gloms onto. Then they love the lights and the interviews and continue on with their stupid views. Eventually they are found to be intellectual frauds, lose the attention and then start grasping for straws. I like when that happens.
BBBBBIIIIINNNNGGGGOOOOO!!!!!!
