EBENSBURG For 31 years, U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Johnstown, did much of his work behind the scenes, well away from the bright lights of the national media.
~~
On Friday, it appeared Murtha fully embraced the spotlight when he announced his intentions to run for House majority leader should the Democrats carry the House in the November election. Immediately, speculation began to arise about whether Murthas recent foray into the spotlight was a calculated strategy aimed at improving his political standing. While attending the official opening of Gamesa Inc.s Fiberblade plant in Cambria Township on Monday, Murtha dismissed the critical speculation as being off target. Murtha said he stepped up his role as a vocal leader because that is what the situation dictated.
~~
Murtha endured more criticism from weekend political television shows accusing him of making premature statement regarding future election results. But Murtha said it is time for strong forward-looking statements.

It would be good if some of the people here at FR that are so good at investigating could spend some time on that.

It is UNBELIEVEABLE to me that this country would jump at accepting the word of the enemy before listening to our own military. The Haditha marines will be exonerated as the facts come out instead of the accusations by downright traitors like Murtha and fifth column operatives working for Time Magazine.
The Hamdaniya marines are being treated worse than Lt. Calley, whom I understand was never in shackles. What is wrong with our military? Do we have too many Clintonista operatives embedded in our military? Why are they treating their own worse than how they treat captured enemy combatants? Why are we persecuting our own for killing the enemy, for doing their job? These young volunteers are our children, fathers, mothers, spouses, and friends. They deserve the benfit of the doubt and our prayers.

pFFFFFFFt. That's small potatoes. I understand the Hamdaniya Marines are permitted one hour outside and must be accompanied by a guard FOR THEIR PROTECTION.

Amen. Murtha has slimed the reputation of All Marines, Past and present. For that, he should join the ranks of all X-marines. Semper Fidelis

When is the RNC going to help this lady? It's a bit early to worry about that. Right now we need to help defeat Murtha. If we help put Ms. Irey in a strong position, the RNC and others will join in.
