Murtha: Post-Withdrawal Bloodbath Would Not Be Congress' Fault
CNS News ^ | 9/18/2007 | Nathan Burchfiel

If pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq results in "a bloodbath," the guilt will rest with the Iraqi people and not with the U.S. Congress, according to Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), a leading proponent of withdrawing troops.

"Many have threatened that there will be chaos, a bloodbath, when the United States redeploys from Iraq, and this in fact may be the case," Murtha said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Monday. "If they continue to choose to spill blood, it will not be on the conscience of the United States."

Murtha knows that if he and other rats engineer a pull out they are safe from American reprisal. However, the world is very small, and war criminals like Murtha, Reid, Pelosi, Hilldebea$t, Kerry and Kennedy need to be aware that their criminal activities will be punished by someone in the future.

In the past 4 decades the rats's main focus has been the of hating America, they are Hatriotics. They and their perverts, who control the MSM see themselves as Patriotics.

The power of the media made these mentally ill perverts, the heroes of the Nam War and our brave vets, the criminals.

If Kerry, his mentor Ted Kennedy and Jane Fonda had been tried for treason when they were lying about our service men in Nam, found guilty and hung in the Capitol Rotunda, America and the world would be a safer place.

These elite liberal hatriotics had better pray that Iraq doesn't become a rich, powerful and free standing nation. A rich and free Iraq might hire a lot of mercs to capture and bring these war criminals to trial in Iraq for War Crimes against innocent Iraqis. They could make what the Israelis did with the Nazi War Criminals after WWII look like a walk in the park.

Poor Murtha... you can't have it both ways dude. Did you attend/graduate from the John F'ing sKerry skrool of "thinking?"

Sounds like he's setting the stage for if/when the next president is a Dem... hey it is not our (Dem's) fault... look at what you Rebpublicans did.

Murtha = fool

Conscience? Conscience? What conscience is that corrupt politician talking about?

Murthar should have been in prison years ago for his in ABSCAM!

Murtha knows NOTHING of either conscience or honor!

Whatever you do, do not PITY Murtha!

Murtha is a sociopath who will never fully acknowledge the damage he has done to our nation and our warriors.

He’s right. If they want to kill each other, it’s not America’s responsibility to stop them. We owe Iraq nothing at this point. The only question is whether it is in America’s self-interest to maintain our presence there.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be thou our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls...

Who is to blame for an Iraqi bloodbath will be decided by the American people. Following the abandonment of South Vietnam by the U.S. Congress in 1975, voters kicked the following senators out office in 1980: Herman Talmadge (D-Ga.), Frank Church (D-Idaho), Birch E. Bayh II (D-Ind.), John Culver (D-Iowa), John A. Durkin (D-N.H.), Robert Morgan (D-N.C.), 1972 presidential nominee George S. McGovern (D-S.D.), Warren Magnuson (D-Wash.), and Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.).
