MARINE CORPS TO MURTHA: OH, NO, YOU DIDN'T!
Friday, August 04, 2006
Marine spokesman refutes Murtha's claim that shoot-from-the-lip Haditha claims were based on a briefing from Marine Commandant Hagee
(MONONGAHELA, August 4) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- reacting to news from the Marine Corps, issued yesterday, indicating that, contrary to what Jack Murtha has said, he was briefed by Marine Commandant Michael Hagee AFTER Murtha had already publicly declared that U.S. Marines had "killed innocent civilians in cold blood" -- today released the following statement:
"Once again, Jack Murtha's memory has failed him. A spokesman for the Marine Corps yesterday declared that -- contrary to what Jack Murtha has said publicly -- Marine Commandant Michael Hagee did NOT brief Jack Murtha on what happened at Haditha before Mr. Murtha's May 17 press conference. In fact, General Hagee did not brief Jack Murtha until a full week AFTER he made his scurrilous remarks.
"When is Jack Murtha just going to take a breath, realize he was wrong, acknowledge it, and apologize to all those involved?
"This shoot-from-the-lip, ready-fire-aim style of talking has been a pattern with Jack Murtha for some time now, but this instance is particularly outrageous -- because in shooting from the lip and declaring that Marines in Haditha had 'killed innocent civilians in cold blood' before he even got a briefing on the matter, let alone before waiting for an investigation to be completed, Mr. Murtha defamed the reputations and likely destroyed the military careers of soldiers who are putting their lives on the line every day for us.
"In the larger context, of course, Mr. Murtha's statements have weakened troop morale and invited further terrorist aggression -- because the entire aim of the terrorists operating in Iraq is to drive out the American presence, and every piece of information they get demonstrating a weakening of American political resolve to see the mission through to its successful completion is a piece of information that encourages them to believe they can win on the political chess board what they cannot win on the field of battle.
"Jack Murtha was wrong when he rushed to judgment and declared that our troops had 'killed innocent civilians in cold blood' before the first Marine was charged, before the first court-martial was convened, before the first soldier was convicted. Now, it turns out, he was wrong when he said that his source of information was the Marine Commandant.
"There are 95 days left in this campaign. The good news is, that's plenty of time to make sure the voters of the 12th District know just who Jack Murtha really is."

I don't know if Murtha intentionally misrepresented the facts on where he got this supposedly true information or genuinely believes he got it from General Hagee.
In either case it is clear he is not a man that should be representing the American people in the U.S. House of Representatives because he either is not telling the truth or he is delusional.

A bit off topic but I wanted to call your attention to Murtha's official website where he puts up this crap from James Webb saying anyone who challenges the legitimacy of Purple Hearts is a cad (or "ultra right wing"): http://www.house.gov/murtha/award_notification.shtml
Webb is currently running for US Senate in VA, was a severe critic of his Annapolis Classmate Ollie North, and has his own set of problems. True, he was Secretary of the Navy under Reagan (yea!?), but he is "nuts" nonetheless. Check out his mercurial nature:

Webb's got himself quite a temper. I'd love to lock him and Cynthia McKinney in a room with only one cupcake.
Yeah, her mind....yeah, that's the ticket...:)
"What is the story on Haditha now? Is the final report going to be issued soon?"
