...Diana Irey and a busload of supporters headed to D.C. to demand Murtha apologize to Marines for recently accusing some of them of being cold-blooded killers.
...
"Mr. Murtha's comments, I believe, were irresponsible and they put our men and women serving overseas in greater danger," Irey said.
Murtha recently said several Marines killed at least 15 Iraqi civilians in cold blood last November and said action should be taken.
While the U.S. military doesn't dispute the congressman's claim, Irey said Murtha is in the wrong.
"Being a former Marine himself, he should know they have a process in place to take care of situation that may have happened that should not have happened," Irey said.
"By coming out and calling them 'cold-blooded killers,' he's already tainted the minds and possible jury of those who will be hearing these allegations."
Irey's visit to Washington, D.C., comes on the heels of Murtha receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for speaking out against the war.
Irey said she believes many eye the Kennedy family with suspicions and said she's never heard anything positive about the award.
Stay with Channel 6 News Wednesday evening as we cover this story from Washington, D.C. We will bring you more details on Irey's comments, as well as Murtha's response.

Very nice. Here's another Murtha quote, fresh off the presses in an Army Times
article. I'll let someone else post it, but it contains details of a second investigation by MNF-Iraq, expected to be done this week I believe. Here's the Dishonorable Jack Murtha:
Murtha, an outspoken war critic and retired Marine colonel, has maintained for several weeks that the reality of the Hadithah incident was far more violent than the original reports suggested.
They originally said a lot of things. I dont even know how they tried to cover that up, he said.
This dude is absolute scum.
Military attorneys are anticipating a lot of charges being filed... and a lot of unspecified pressure being applied for the military to take action. Gee, wonder why?

it was a nice, powerful point You captured her remark pretty close, and yes, it was powerful. The applause erupted at that point, IIRC.

Diana Irey hasn't developed her career and reputation of honorable public service by being foolishly impulsive or politically tone-deaf. I'm sure her highly capable team will handle her campaign in the manner that will serve her and her future constituents best. But thanks for your opinion.

I just made my first-ever political contribution, and it was to Diana's campaign. No other congressional race has inspired me as much before, and I don't even live in her district.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Couldn't disagree with you more.

Great job Sisku!!! Diana is awesome! It was a tremendous honor to meet her. It's great that you and SS and Coop were able to attend, I envy you all. From everything I've read about her tenure in Washington County via the Internet, she sounds like a real lady.

would have never dreamed of stabbing our troops in the back as a ways and means to attack a sitting, wartime President. Unless said President is a Republican. This has been SOP for the demonRATS since 1969.

Have you had the opportunity to meet her? If not - you simply must plan to head over to SW PA. For an itty bitty thing she is most formidable.
I am thankful I made the trip to meet this impressive candidate. She gives me hope for our Republic.
