Mr. Murtha, speaking yesterday at a Post-Gazette editorial board meeting, was asked if he favored a cease-fire in the campaign north of Israel's border.
"I think so," he said. "I think it would be very difficult to justify continuing on."
Referring to the Bush administration's position, he said: "You know, they say, 'Well, we want a long-term cease-fire.' It seems to me you start with a cease-fire, and then you try to work out the details long term. If you don't, and you continue to have heavy-handed military action -- and I support heavy-handed military action because it saves your own troops -- but it creates enemies, and that's the problem we have."

Why does everyone think that Israel would even listen to America if we ordered them to a cease fire ? Now Mullah Murtha wants to speak for other countries.

Then she should show up against an empty podium and debate him in abstentia. Great idea.....it would have the same effect with or without his appearance!

Cut N' Run Murtha needs to observe a personal cease fire in which he ceases firing off his fat f'in MOUTH, start with 48 hours, and then maybe expand that to the rest of his bloody LIFE!
I've heard enough from that former serviceperson (who happened to wear a Marine uniform) to last the rest of MY life!

The man is a dangerous moron.
Why doesn't he volunteer to go to Lebanon and be a human shield for the hezzies.

It becomes crystal clear who supports the war on terror and those who are "peace at any cost" Democrats.
I fear for this country after the next election. If the Dems take the WH and House the WOT will wither on the vine.

"Murtha wants an immediate cease-fire in Lebanon"
I want a new Ferrari Enzo and an all expense's paid dinner date with Pamela Anderson.
Somehow, I don't think I'm going to get it. Perhaps I should accept that fact and "move on" with my life.
Perhaps Muddled Murtha should just move on. Out of the Senate. Somewhere, anywhere.

His opponent, the lovely Mrs. Diana Irey, would love nothing more than to debate him. It ain't gonna happen...he will never agree to it!I think this race is going to reach a point where he'll have to debate her. Murtha can only hide for so long. We've already seen him go from completely ignoring her to now putting out a hit piece on Diana Irey on his website.

The terrorist must be losing because Murtha is tired of burying his friends.
