Murtha expressed skepticism of assurances given by Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on NBCs "Meet the Press" on Sunday. Pace said the war in Iraq was going "very, very well."
"Why would I believe him?" said Murtha, D-Pa. "This administration, including the president, has mischaracterized this war for the last two years ... So why would I believe the chairman of the Joint Chiefs when he says things are going well?"
I really don't think Muthra is senile, that would give him an easy excuse for what he has said.
I perfer to think he is just a traitor hiding behind his right to debate freely as a congressman to say whatever pops into his head at the moment. Anything that is that will hurt the efforts of our troops and the country.
