It seems the Central Daily/Phil. Enquirer doesn't let the truth stand in their way for their editorials. Either that or they're just too lazy and inept to bother to get the truth. I believe it's all of the above.
Support Diana Irey and help retire the despicable Murtha.

Murtha is free to speak and those who oppose the content of his speech are free to work to unelect him. He will still be able to speak out as much as he wants. He just won"t be in Congress. No big deal.

To: Coop
Murtha's point was that such incidents are an inevitable result of leaving troops too long in the middle of an emerging civil war with no clear mission. Oh please, atrocities happen in all wars of all types. They happened in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, etc. as well. It's nothing about the nature of this conflict that caused this. And it's not because it's a "civil war" which it's not. It's human nature that things like this occassionally occur in all conflicts among all armies.
And how do you know these men weren't clear on the mission? Most I've heard speak were entirely clear. That writer and Murtha are too dim or decieved to get it doesn't mean are military men and women don't.
And military units have seen far more battles and fighting than this one in the wars America has fought and not given in to savagery. So to claim it is because of their length of service in what is basically a low level conflict is ludicrious at best. Indeed, instead of looking to blame war policy for this, why not blame the terrorists who hide among civilians and use sissified stand off tactics to try to CAUSE THESE KINDS OF INCIDENTS instead of just looking as always to blame the administration. No, the terrorists are "freedom fighters" undeserving of any criticism, right?
And by the way, when this incident is alleged to have occured in 2004, there was nothing like the sectarian violence this moron labels as "civil war," so his claim this happened because of a "civil war" is sheer nonsense. But leave it to a media parasite to have to fit in all their favorite buzzwords into the slop they write, regardless of accuracy. And in the case, he makes these assertions regardless of their being no indictments nor findings of wrongdoing.

The editorial "staph" infection approves of Murtha.
So does Sadaaamn Hussein and Hugo "el burro" Chavez and Cindy "LOLA" Sheehan.
Nice company.

Well .. HE WAS SIMPLY LYING!
He said he had been briefed on May 17 - but he was NOT BRIEFED UNTIL 7/24 or later. Therefore, he had no info .. and he was just blowing off steam - to make a name for himself.
And besides .. he did the same thing to Clinton over Somalia and - of course - Clinton backed down and withdrew our troops. That act convinced Osama America was weak and if there were enough casualties .. we would "cut and run".
As far as I'm concerned Murtha is to blame for 9/11.

And if you keep ignoring him now, you can continue ignoring him for an 18th (and 19th, and 20th...) term.
Pay very close attention to Murtha's verbal vomit, and especially pay attention to what his opponent, Diana Irey, is saying.

Murtha is free to speak and those who oppose the content of his speech are free to work to unelect him.Conceptually, perhaps. But that's not the way I read this editorial, or most Dem talking points.

Arrest the editorial staff for Treason.
They do not understand what debate means and what Treason means. They need a lesson in basic civics.

Murtha did it to stop the ethics investigation in the house to stop. It was all about him and his illegal gotten gains. He's nothing more than a traitor and another congresscritter CROOK....it seems as the months move on folks have forgotten this bottom line reason....

Diana Irey is a real American Patriot!
She's all over the phony cut and run murtha.
Every vet in America needs to back her and sign up for the Veterans Roll Call
The only "vets" who wouldn't would be the "vets" who supported hanoi harry.
All a real vet has to do is "sign" his/her real name.
Branch of Service
Dates of Service
Your State
Your e-mail address
Any other info is optional
REAL Vets, on other forums, where support for Diana Irey is not allowed
can post their info here and the liberal forums won't even know.
Nor will FR even know.
Why would a REAL vet NOT sign the Veterans Roll Call?
Time for REAL Vets to stand Proud and Tall for our men and women on active duty now!

A campaign organized by
Vets For The Truth to
redeploy John 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 --
