Should We Demand That John Murtha Apologize to Lance Cpl. Justin L. Sharratt?

Wall Street Journal Best of the Web and others ^ | 11 July 2007 | various

[JOHN ADAMS]

Today's Best of the Web contains a nice item noting that the government has dropped its case against one of the Marines accused of murdering Iraqi civilians. They note that John Murtha had adopted the prosecution's view of the world and repeated the accusation, and they now ask whether Murtha will apologize.

Says the Journal: "This was the incident in which Rep. John Murtha accused the Marines of killing Iraqis "in cold blood"--a charge, as we noted in May 2006, that was self-contradictory. In November ScrippsNews reported that Cpl. Sharratt's parents were "enraged" with Murtha, who is their congressman. Perhaps it's time for him to apologize."

My question for this Board is, shouldn't there be a little agitation to propogate this very sensible request for an apology? And isn't the community of Freepers the right place for that demand to get rolling?

Just so people know who we're fighting for...

LCpl. Justin Sharratt, second deployment, Iraq, 2005

His apology would, most likely, not be accepted. Murtha is not a true Marine.

cdbull23, Thanks for the info on how to "contact" Murtha. Makes a FReeper's job easier!

I think you’ve just rung the bell for Round Two. LOL, RedRover!! I agree with ButThreeLeftsDo, LET"S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

Game on.

[GitmoSailor]

I’am ready with some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Lets Get Him!!!!!!!.....

[smoothsailing]

The Let Freedom Ring blog has an excellent summation of todays events and some pointed questions for Murtha and suggestions on how to proceed..

Washington Post weighs in on Murtha Scandal

[Girlene]

Don’t know who’s running against Murtha next time. Good time for a candidate to announce, though. I’d say Murtha should be feeling a little heat, by now.

I tried calling the two offices which are both closed now. But you can still leave messages (respectful of course.)

Wonder how that defamation suit filed by Frank Wuterich is going? It would be a good time for the suit to move forward and box Murtha in with his own words.

Read my posts #11, #20, #24 on this thread!!!!!!......

[Girlene]

Ah ha! I get it! I put the pieces together. You're willing to move, donate $$$$$$ and vote Murtha out for....drum rolls, please,....

DIANA IREY in PA-12, 2008!

[PGalt]

Yes. I demand that he apologize and resign.

[sergeantdave]

The morons who voted for this piece of garbage would never expect an apology. Why should we? Some parts of America are not worth saving.

LET"S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

Girl, would you say that you like to 'brawl'?

[GoldenPup]

Murtha is a miserable, arrogant, A$$hole whose apology, if given, would be as hollow as he is.

[Girlene]

Girl, would you say that you like to 'brawl'?

LOL!!! Given the right circumstances, YES, lily. These are the right circumstances. I imagine Lt. Gen. Mattis, the Convening Authority in all these Marines' cases can relate. wink, wink

From Rush Limbaugh's transcript, earlier today Rush's transcript

I suspect what's going to happen is that Murtha, in order to cover his sizeable rear end is going to come out and say there's another cover-up going on! "I demand a new investigation," or what have you.



LET"S MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T DO THAT!!!

[Christian4Bush]

I know now that I didn’t waste my $$$$$ on Diana Irey. I hope she runs again so I can move to the PA-12 District to work on her campaign and help vote this Jurk out!!!!!!...........

Rules...and I totally agree with you.

I second that defamation lawsuit.

[lilycicero]

Thanks Girl.

AND sue the mags/newspapers who printed the false allegations and called these guys guilty before a trial.

Sue them all, teach them a good lesson that water cooler gossip, “news” from unnamed sources, and flat out false reporting and propaganda will no longer be tolerated.

AND, the republicans should be demanding Murtha’s exit immediately.

I issued my own fatwah today...

I am putting all of those who convicted the Marines without a trial (yes I know there are other hearings left to go but this one should set the precedent) on notice that I will expose each and every one of you for the lying backstabbing treasonous basturds that you are.

Everyone that made any $$ off articles or speaking engagements defaming the Haditha Marines is included.

And for the disgusting POS also known as Iraq Veterans Against the War - you better hurry up and get your 15 minutes cause you are going down with the rest of the rat infested ship of fools known as the anti-war, anti-American harpies.

That is a promise from me - and I keep my promises.
