MR. RUSSERT: What’s your response?
REP. MURTHA... We can go to Okinawa.
MR. RUSSERT: But it’d be tough to have a timely response from Okinawa.
REP. MURTHA: Well, it—you know, they—when I say Okinawa, I, I’m saying troops in Okinawa.

Murtha says U.S. poses top threat to world peace
South Florida Sun-Sentinel

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.
"Who is pulling his strings?"
George Soros
...or World Trade Center 1993, Khobar Towers 1996, Tanzania 1998, and Cole 2000

"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."
excellent observation!
Lord, God, would you please put Murtha in Kennedy's car along with Boxerface and Puhlousey and send them across Europe, Asia up into Siberia and then back through the MIddle East and down into a tour around the rim of Africa being very careful to drive across every bridge available late at night?
This piece of human garbage doesn't deserve to live in the United States he trashes and is traitorous toward so freely.
And, please, Lord, deal ASAP with the puppet masters who wind him up and turn him loose.
"...or World Trade Center 1993, Khobar Towers 1996, Tanzania 1998, and Cole 2000"
Let's we forget...Thanks for the reminder!
Leftist to English translation:
Progressive = Cover term for Liberals without the balls to admit it.
Liberal = Cover term for Socialists with out the balls to admit it.
Socialist = Cover term for Communists with out the balls to admit it.
- "(The United States) became the target when Abu Ghraib came along," Murtha said.-
More like (The American People) became Murtha's targets once the media came along.
lol...should read: "Lest we forget". It's a bit early here.
Rabid congressman alert.
That's awesome!
Oh, I get it now. I'm surprised it took so long for me to see. Murtha is running for Pope. Peace over security is a Vatican thing.
Could we get Murtha on with the Dixie Chicks?
Yep. Sounds like Alzheimer's is kicking in....but him being a DIM, who can really tell?
I think it is the "restore honor and dignity to the White House" of Bush versus the "everybody does it" defense dems mounted for Clinton. They have spent nearly six years trying to paint Bush with their "everybody does it" brush, but it just rolls off, because not everybody lies, cheats, and steals, though most who live in machine-run cities believe that they all do.
LOL! Speak Murtha Speak!
Apparently he's forgot about the last two decades of the US being hit by terrorists. During one of those decades we didn't even retaliate. I'd say not retaliating for the most part of 10 years makes us more of a target than a woman putting underwear on a prisoner's head.
The GOP has so much ammunition to use against these anti-American schmucks if only they had the brains to use it to their advantage. The garbage that has come out of Murtha, Pelosi, Boxer, Schumer, Durbin, Kennedy, both Clinton's mouths is priceless (don't leave out Harry Reid and the rest of the Leftists). Their comments could be used in campaign ads that could run nonstop for days. Due to the lack of gonads in the GOP, these sleaze-balls haven't been called on any of their anti-American comments.
