email from DCCC/Jack Murtha, bashing Republicans

To all the Republicans who sit in their air-conditioned offices and talk of the courage it takes for them to keep young kids in harm's way -- I say enough. Karl Rove talking about "cutting and running" while he sits on his big, fat backside-saying "stay the course." I say enough! That's not a plan! We've got to have a new direction, and it's clear we need more Democrats in Congress to get that done.

No matter how obvious the mistakes in Iraq become, or how many Americans get fed up, Republicans in Congress and the White House will label you a traitor to your country if you stand up and question them. I hope you will join me in my call to House Republicans by signing this petition. We hope to deliver 50,000 names to the Speaker of the House, asking them to cut the traitor talk and start to get a change of direction in Iraq -- if you believe this Republican Congress has abdicated its responsibility long enough, please join us.

Tell Republicans to Cut the Traitor Talk and Chart a New Course. We Need a Real Plan for Victory -- No More Just Sitting and Watching.

I'm not naive enough to think it won't be an issue in the election year but accusing people of being unpatriotic cheats good Americans out of any chance for a real resolution to the mess in Iraq. And while this issue of war is neither a Democratic nor a Republican one, the need for new leadership in the House is clearly an issue.

While the Republicans have been busy name calling, the situation in Iraq has only gotten worse. The insurgency has grown exponentially. IED attacks, where our troops are sitting ducks for an enemy they can't even see, have increased steadily. And the patience of the American people for this flawed policy is running out.

We need to put an end to these outrageous attacks on people who disagree with Bush and his Rubber Stamp Republican Congress's "sit and watch" plan for Iraq.

Tell Republicans to Cut the Traitor Talk and Chart a New Course. We Need a Real Plan for Victory -- No More Just Sitting and Watching.

With a Democratic majority, we would have an honest debate about the war. The American people's concerns and opposition would be recognized.

During the House floor debate a few weeks ago, I hoped the Republicans would have realized that the majority of the American people do not support this war. I hoped that they would have recognized that the American people need more from their government than a Republican Congress that asks no questions and demands no answers. But that didn't happen, and it's clear we need a Democratic majority to chart a new course.

When I offered a concrete plan to get our troops out of harm's way, where they have become the target, I didn't expect every member of Congress or every candidate to agree with my specific proposal in this debate. But I did expect them to acknowledge that there is more to be done than sitting and watching.

Tell Republicans to Cut the Traitor Talk and Chart a New Course. We Need a Real Plan for Victory -- No More Just Sitting and Watching.

P.S. I'm offering this petition, which will be delivered to Speaker of the House in order to keep our Congress focused where it should have been all along. I hope you'll sign if you agree. Tell Republicans to Cut the Traitor Talk and Chart a New Course. We Need a Real Plan for Victory -- No More Just Sitting and Watching.

Hey Butt-Face,

I see you wrote that little missive from your air-conditioned Congressional office, while sitting on a behind almost as large as Hillary's tail end. You're just irritated because you know in your heart that every word from that gaping maw of yours gives morale and credence to the terrorists who are killing our men and women.

You may have once been in the military, loyal to our flag, but so was Benedict Arnold. And at least he had the decency to leave this nation and go to the enemy's land. You stay, like a stinking dungheap left by an old cow, spreading your stink and filth across the land in hopes it'll get you 3 minutes on CNN.

Stuff it, Benedict Murtha.

Murtha sides up with Code Pink

Code Pink has given $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah, participated in war crimes tribunals against America and has called American soldiers "killers" on their website among many treasonous actions. They display signs like "Maimed for a Lie" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where wounded troops are healing.
Text of Code Pink's statement on meeting Rep. Murtha:
Thank You Congressman Murtha! CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers sent by CODEPINK members nationwide.

Murtha's "Cut & Run" Comments on Iraq:
"there's no progress at all"
"it's worse than it was prewar"
"we should immediatley redeploy"
"War cannot be won on the ground"
"I have said it's a civil war"
"We cannot win this militarily. Our tactics themselves keep us from winning,"
Murtha's Comments on our Troops:
"Would you join (the military) today?," he was asked in an interview. "No," replied Murtha
"And I think you're saying the average guy out there who's considering recruitment is justified in saying 'I don't want to serve'," the interviewer continued. "Exactly right," said Murtha
"we have become a catalyst for violence" in Iraq
Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." at Haditha
"I will not excuse murder, and this is what happened"
"This is worse than Abu Ghraib"
"Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. But we're supposed to be selling ideas of America, ideals of America, and we're losing that war."
"These kind of things have to be brought out immediately," he told "This Week," "because if the Marines got away with it, other Marines might think it's okay."
"What they're saying to me is we're stretching the military too thin. The army is broken, and we couldn't deploy to a second front if we wanted to."
"The troops don't know what to do. They don't have the direction they need in order to supervise the prisoners,"

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified,
shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars
were treated and appreciated by their nation."

-- President George Washington --

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and
undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."

-- President Abraham Lincoln --
