Contribution to Irey just sent, thanks for the link.

Murtha deserves retirement after his lifetime of service, and it can't come soon enough!

"He said when Bush's father, George Herbert Walker Bush, contemplated the first Gulf War, he established a real international coalition ..."

And where did that leave us? - with mass killing of Shiites, failed sanctions, dying Iraqi children, "international" oil-for-food fraud, and troops on the border pressuring for WMD inspections. In my neighborhood, what 'W" has done is called "learning from experience".

I have nothing but respect for the Marine Corps.

But there is an exception to every rule.

Lee Harvey Oswald and John Murtha are that exception.

John "ABSCAM" Murtha is a disgrace to all of us that have served.

Let's hear from some people from Johnstown. I hear Murtha is the king of pork and even tried to name a building after his wife. Don't know if that is true. Johnstown is a dying mill town with little left but Murtha's pork and the liberals from a University of Pittsburgh campus.

Good hard working people live there, I hope they don't listen to the "there is no exit strategy" stuff. There are two strategies in war, win and surrender. Murtha wants to surrender.

"My prediction - that civil war will come to an abrupt end on election day 2006..."

As we slowly begin to stand 'down' and allow the Iraqi's to 'stand up', there has been a significant decline in the number of deaths of American soldiers and a greater number of Iraqi deaths.

Heard this bit of propoganda from a democratic strategist when confronted with this information. Response goes something like this........"The decline in the deaths of American soldiers and the increase in the number of deaths of Iraqis is clearly evidence of Civil War. They are simply killing each other"

I expect that as we turn over more responsibility to the Iraqis and the number of Iraqi deaths increases it will, in the minds of the leftists, validate the civil war mantra and negate any evidence of progress in Iraq.

He said he is also concerned about the $450 billion cost of the war and the burden on the American people.


Why is it that when the subject is war and/or defence a certain party suddenly become a bunch of wildeyed born again budget hawks in green eyeshades and red pencils?

["You have to wonder if they're competent," Murtha said]

Though difficult, I forced myself to read the entire mess. Between his Monday morning quarterbacking and Amy Zalar's embellishments it's a real piece of work. Could she be his daughter?

His competency statement is laughable. I honestly wonder if he is losing his faculties. If he keeps releasing this kind of trash, I believe it will help Diana Irey.

I'm on her email list. Thanks for the ping.
