Defense Official Contradicts Murtha Claim that Petraeus Didn't 'Talk to Any of Us'

So Murtha is a liar.

Do I really have to say it?

[Recon Dad]

They just forgot to invite the list titled “Traitors”.

[NickatNite2003]

Anyone here surprised the Murtha was caught in yet *another* lie....”Anyone*???....

[Emile]

The Washington Times on April 26 quoted Boehner as saying that Pelosi had met with President Bashar Assad of Syria - designated a state sponsor of terror by the State Department - but that she "somehow can't find the time to meet with the American general in charge of our troops fighting the global war on terror."

That's because she wants to make nice with state sponsors of terror, and has no interest in winning, or even prosecuting, a war on terror. She and her comrades can vehemently deny this all they want, but their actions tell us where they stand.

I’m sure Matthews will call attention to Murtha’s lie on his show tonight. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Niteranger68]

If I ruled the world, Murtha would face a MILITARY firing squad by sunset today. This man is a deplorable, lying, rat bastard!

[jazusamo]

Murtha Watch Ping!

Is murtha a liar or senile? I believe both.

[kittymyrib]

So he talked to the General on April 24...that was 9 days ago. Short-term memory loss is a sign of senility, not that we needed any more signs in Benedict Murtha’s case.

[Enchante]

This is beneath disgraceful!! John al-Murtha is a vicious, dishonest demagogue, like so many of his fellow ‘Rats. He is smearing a great general who has more value in his (Petraeus’) little finger than Murtha has in his entire pathetic existence. Murtha is more openly working for US defeat than ever.....

[Eagle of Liberty]

I have only one thing left to say to idiots like Murtha and Kucinich. Either the United States did the right thing in 1991 by liberating Kuwait, did the right things all through the 1990's and did the right thing by signing the Iraq Liberation Act in 1998 OR EVERYONE involved in the Federal Government from the early 90's up to Saddam's removal from power lied to the American people to make ALL of us believe that Saddam was a threat.

If he was a threat in the early 90's, a threat in the mid 90's, a threat in 1998 and a threat in 2001-2002, THEN HE WAS A THREAT! None of this BS about viewing history as beginning when President Bush began to talk about Saddam's removal is relevant. Saddam was declared a threat by United States Foreign Policy LONG before 2002.

If they want to keep going down this "I was lied to" path, then ALL politicians should be accused of lying to EVERY American citizen. Otherwise, SHUT UP!

[I see my hands]

To: Murtha

Seek swift redemption.

[Kaslin]

I am not

[magoo70804]

Folks, you gotta know your audience...if the General really wanted Murtha there, he would gotten word to Murtha that if he (Murtha) attended the meeting, the General would earmark some military pork deal for Murtha’s district. Follow the money.

[bikerMD]

This despicable senile old boot craps in his pants and drools in his oatmeal. I suggest that Murtha be compelled to be the first living adult stem cell donor.

[bpjam]

To quote another great movie: Oh, You must, You must!

On of the lunatics in Boston Tea Party

was making a big deal out of that Secretary of State Rice was meeting in Iraq with her counterpart.

Remember: Last Saturday was National Impeachment Day. I believe that this “holiday” should not be limited to those the Code Pink gals with bullhorns want impeached.

IMHO Murtha is a flat out liar ,is suffering from dementia & maybe drinking too much. The man needs to go. A rest home where his mouth can’t do more damage would be fine. Maybe a round room or wherever they put the nuts works too.
