Murtha says U.S. poses top threat to world peace

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 06.25.2006

MIAMI — American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to an audience of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon. Murtha was the guest speaker at a town hall meeting organized by Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, D-Miami, at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus. Meek's mother, former Rep. Carrie Meek, D-Miami, was also on the panel.

War veterans, local mayors, university students and faculty were in the Mary Ann Wolfe Theatre to listen to the three panelists discuss the war in Iraq for an hour.

A former Marine and a prominent critic of the Bush administration's policies in Iraq, Murtha reiterated his views that the war cannot be won militarily and needs political solutions. He said the more than 100,000 troops in Iraq should be pulled out immediately, and deployed to peripheral countries like Kuwait.

"We do not want permanent bases in Iraq," Murtha told the audience. "We want as many Americans out of there as possible."

Murtha also has publicly said that the shooting of 24 Iraqis in November at Haditha, a city in the Anbar province of western Iraq that has been plagued by insurgents, was wrongfully covered up. The killings, which sparked an investigation into the deadly encounter and another into whether they were the subject of a cover-up, could undermine U.S. efforts in Iraq more than the prison abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib in 2004, Murtha said.

"(The United States) became the target when Abu Ghraib came along," Murtha said.

Osama bin-Murtha is keeping this wacko crap going for one reason:

Sooner or later the truth about his military service, his involvement in ABSCAM as an unindicted co-conspirator, and his sneaky little dealings all these years in the appropriations committees, diverting millions to family and friend businesses.

When this does come out, he and the rest of the Dims will then scream it is a smear campaign because of his anti-war stance and he must be getting 'under their skin' for them (the administration) to start attacking him with 'false' allegations.

They are just too predictable.

Are you aware that the vast majority of us "Intelligence weenies" are far right wing?

Comrade Murtha represents the views of the Peoples DemoncRATic Party not that of the average "Intel weenie."

Murtha "The US Poses Top Threat to World Peace."

Well, well. That should sit well with the voters. If I were his opponent, that phrase would be the opening of my campaign comercials from now on.

Is it senility, Altzheimer's, dementia, or some combination of these?

It's the advanced stages of Bush Derangement Syndrome; he's the poster boy for it.

We need more of these "brave" people to speak their minds. It will only help the GOP in the fall.

I guess Murtha Stinker hasn't heard the "stop digging" rule.

When you've dug yourself deep into a hole, stop digging.

Bad for him, good for us.

He's really gone senile.

While Comrade Murtha may well suffer from those conditions too, his primary affliction is the mental disease "liberalism."

It seems to me that everytime he opens his fat yapper, it's a campaign commercial for Mr. Irey.

I wonder when Murtha was last tested for Agent Orange from his Viet Nam days?
They say it affects logical thinking first.

War hero?? hrummph Only because he was drafted. Otherwise he would never have volunteered to kill commies who are actually his friends now.

I agree with your sentiment but I would say his disease is leftism, there's nothing liberal about today's leftists.
