REAL DEM AGENDA: CUT AND RUN

Dem Leader John Murtha (D-PA): U.S. Troops Killing "In Cold Blood"

_____________________________________________________________

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) Joins Growing Dem Chorus Critical Of U.S. Troops; Claims Troops Killing "Innocent Civilians In Cold Blood":

 

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA): "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood." ("Marines Killed Iraqi Civilians 'In Cold Blood: US Lawmaker,'" Agence France Presse, 5/18/06)

• Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL): "We are an irritant. And we help spur the insurgency, even as we are defending a fledgling Iraqi government against that insurgency."  (NBC's "Meet The Press," 1/22/06)

• Sen. John Kerry (D-MA): "There is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children ..." (CBS' "Face The Nation," 12/4/05) 

• Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV): "It's our presence that's also a problem. We're an occupying force" (Mort Kondracke, Op-Ed, "Democrats Look Weak Calling For Iraq 'Exit,'" Roll Call, 2/3/05) 

• Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) Said That U.S. Troops Were Part Of The Problem In Iraq. "'The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution,' Kennedy said in remarks prepared for delivery at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies." (Lolita C. Baldor, "Kennedy Calls For Troop Withdrawal, Says Military Is Fueling Insurgents," The Associated Press, 1/27/05) 

Rep. John Murtha Promises Dems Will Cut And Run In Iraq If They Gain Control Of Congress:

 

Rep. John Murtha Claimed Dems Will Withdraw From Iraq If They Take Over. MSNBC's CHRIS MATTHEWS: "[A]re the Democrats going to seize the leadership of the Congress, win the votes, take over Congress and end the war? Are they going to do it?" ... REP. MURTHA: "We have to convince Democrats and Republicans that this war has to end." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 5/17/06)

• Rep. Murtha: "Let me tell you something, Chris. This war is going to end." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 5/17/06)

• Rep. Murtha: "[W]e've got to have a scheduled withdrawal, just like we have to have a schedule around here." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 5/17/06)

• Rep. Murtha: "My timetable is to immediately work and say to them, 'Look, you're going to have to take over yourself, this is your responsibility. And we're redeploying our force.' The sooner the better, as far as I'm concerned." (Rep. Jack Murtha, Press Conference, 5/17/06)

Very nice. So if the Republicans don't do anything, they get criticized. But if they do something, they get criticized.

Right or wrong, I'd rather be doing something besides sitting back throwing criticism around. Like working to defeat Murtha and elect Diana Irey!

[Coop]

You got a better chance of catching polio.

If you really feel that way, then do something about it.

[Coop]

Spitting prematurely may cause more harm to the spitter, if it turns out that Murtha is more right than wrong.

You're focusing on the accusation instead of focusing on the accuser. No matter what happens with this story, Murtha is scum for acting as public informant, judge and jury. He's a treasonous SOB who is using this incident for his own personal gain.

[Coop]

God bless you and your family for your service and sacrifices in defense of our freedom. Stay focused and stay safe. Rest assured we're not taking this &*@#$^ from Murtha sitting down.

I think a good punch in the face would be better. I save my spit for Clintons and Kofi.

[Cobra64]

I have. And I'm also happy to say that at least my Senators voted the right way. How about yours?

[Coop]

Glad to hear it. Re: senators - voted the right way on what?

[Valin]

Loved those AF golf courses

I tell ya it was really rough duty. You're not going to believe this but there were times that the chow hall actually served white wine AT ROOM TEMPATURE!

[Valin]

Instead of a punch in the nose, may I suggest our friend Mr. Club. Tools are our friend.

Huh?

[phillyfanatic]

This RNC ad should be published nation-wide instead of just an email to us. I got it via email but have not seen any of this nationally in the media of any stripe.

[freema]

I hope they don't, it's am embarassing display of parrotting with nothing of substance.

To: All
FYI.....Duncan Hunter just had a LIVE presser regarding the Marines/Haditha matter.

He said that the report that has NOT been finished yet, regardless of what Murtha has been saying, will be sent to the top guy (I forgot his name, sorry)...at about the end of next week...he will read and study it..for how long, Duncan didn't know.

THEN, he said that HE will have hearings on this matter, and probably so will Sen. Warner in the Senate.

He then went on and said that over 970,000 different troops have fought or are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and regardless of how this investigation ends, this incident with a few Marines, on one morning in Nov. of last years, should NOT reflect on the rest of the troops.

When questioned, he was asked why they are having hearings/investigations if this will be handled by the Military? And is Congress going to have a "trial" at the same time as the military?

Duncan said NO...they were going to go over evidence in this incident just "procedures"...hmmmmmmm

Then he was asked if it was a good thing for Congress to have hearings before there is even a trial, verdict, etc?

He pretty much didn't answer that I heard...just said that Americans need to know that "we" don't look the other way...and that "we" need to make sure that all protocol, blah, blah, is followed.

Other than that, he wouldn't answer any questions...just said he decided to have the presser to "clear up" some statements (Murtha) that have been made that not only mean nothing because the report isn't finished...but, that he is afraid that the MSM will "use" this incident to smear the rest of our troops.

Don't know if any of you are interested in this...but I am, so I thought I would share.

Murtha Get Your Butt over here! I got something for You!

[Let's Roll]

Times have changed, John boy, this ain't the sixties anymore.

We no longer take the word of your kind for just about anything. We know our "boys" and they aren't the monsters you allege. IF this or anything approximating it did happen, it was only under extreme circumstances, accidental etc. It is NOT a pattern or policy.

IOW - STFU!

[Lumper20]

Look up the 20th Special Operations Squadron. No white wine for these guys. They flew mostly cross border OPS from our camp and launch sites to deep into Cambodia and Laos. No golf clubs on their UH1F's or UH1P's. Real pilots, crew, and, maintenance types, who lived with us. None would appreciate Murtha.

[Valin]

None would appreciate Murtha.

Agree!

Just doing my small part to perpetuate the myth. :-)
