This ripped my heart out and put it back in a better place. If this is a duplicate, I apologize...

>>>I understand fully what you were saying. You were telling the country and - more import- antly - our enemies, that this is not your war, that you do not support it.

Hmmm. I disagree. since John Murtha was the chairman of the Defense Appropriations subcommittee that approved the secret appropriation that was hidden in the $298 billion Defense bill to fund the 'Charlie Wilson War', which in turn created a LARGE black market of US weaponery in the M.E., paid Sheik Rahman a nice salary and financed the Islamic Bomb....I would say, THIS IS John Murtha's war.

[Petronski]

Well done bump.

[jveritas]

Great letter.

[geezerwheezer]

Mr. Lucas has spoken for millions of us who are sick and tired of complete asses like Cong. Murtha and many other of his fellow traitors and their actions against what our America stands for. Perhaps the good Congressman would do the right thing and resign his office, or perhaps,admit he is completely wrong and apologize to all of our troops for his stupidity. Neither of these will happen though, and Murtha will continue his poisoning of the American spirit, and his denigration of our military forces. To hell with him and his rotten ideas. Thank you Mr. Lucas for showing us how evil Murtha really is.

[DakotaRed]

Well said and right on the mark.

While addressing primarily Murtha, it also should be addressing the Dimocratic Party leadership of today.

They sure aren't the Democrats we saw in WW2.

bump for later.

Consider yourself highly commended, Fintan. Great piece. My heart got ripped out too but it is still trying to migrate back into place :-)

[TigersEye]

Murtha = traitor trash.

[Pietro]

Hear, Hear!

I find it unbelievable that so many people can't understand what this man has so succictly stated. How can we turn away from this fight when the enemy has so clearly stated what their goals are

Is the US so craven that we will turn away from our duty; turn away from our own sacred responsibility to our children?

Nothing less than that is at stake this November. God forgive us if we fail and God condemn us if through laziness or apathy we allow the enemies of our country, both foreign and domestic, to turn us away from this critical battle.

Bump for a great American, father of another great American.

This is a true War of the Worlds: a war between the 12th century world of conquest and hatred and submission and the modern world of freedom and happiness and self-determination. This is MY war, too. My husband has been in it twice (once in Iraq, once in Afghanistan), and I couldn't be more proud. Likewise, I am proud of each and every soldier, sailor, airman, marine out there fighting this war on behalf of us all.

Thanks, Fintan, for posting this great editorial.

Dear Mr. Knox,

Amen, right on, and God bless you real, real good.

As for congress-critter Murtha, may a very large box of itching powders be sprinkled in his drawers, may he break out in hives the size of quarters, may his drawers always be two sizes too small, and may all his teeth fall out of his trash-talking carpetbagging mouth, except for one, and that one should remain for a toothache!

If it is a duplicate, it NEEDED SAYING AGAIN. No worries. Damn, I love AMERICANS like this. Just love em. Hate the others, but love these folks!
