Does this senile old fool even know what he says?

“You can’t just throw money at it, and you can’t win it militarily. It has to be done diplomatically. So I’ve been trying to shift money and convince the people that make the decision on where the money goes that more money should go to the State Department for those kind of things.”

It sounds like, “we can’t just throw money at it, so I’ve been shifting money to throw at it.”

And this fool gets reelected?

Murtha is a pig. Politicians suck.

I Support The Troops!

One thing is certain, Murtha thinks he is all three branches of government.

“Haditha’s an entirely different situation,” Murtha said. “I have the highest regard for the troops in the field, but in this case, these people didn’t die of a heart attack. They didn’t die of natural causes. (The Marines) used excessive force, obviously.

I want to say he's unbelievable but at this point nothing the senile old fool says surprises me. Seven out of eight Haditha Marines have been exonerated by IO's or a courts-martial panel but that doesn't seem to be good enough for Murtha.

I’m going to come back and report to them what I think should be done.”

We have a very competent SECDEF and military commanders, why in the world would anyone give any credence to anything Murtha says on the way the war should be run in Afghanistan? He's the turkey who wanted to redeploy our troops to Okinawa so they'd have a fast strike capability if anything flared up in Iraq. I believe he has delusions of grandeur.

Murtha is a POS traitor who should be skinned alive.

BINGO! See my post#5!

BTW, I got your Thanksgiving e-mail. The Mrs. and I really liked it. I hope you and your bride had a wonderful day!

“We can’t win these wars militarily. Nobody wants us over there. I think Liberia wants us. Nobody else."

He could use some new talking points, instead of this stale drivel.

I’ll say in the wrong place at the wrong time. What the heck is wrong with the people in PA?

You're absolutely right, Smooth. I really believe he doesn't realize how embarrassing he is to the Dems and the House.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving and hope you and the Mrs. did as well.

I truly believe he’s too far gone to memorize new talking points. Those old ones are seared in the part of his brain that remains.

Murtha is, fittingly enough, an up-front member of the Jackass Party.

AFRICOM has done more good on the Continent of Africa in a short time than he bothers to lear about.

I defy him to get on the www.africom.mil website and say his stupidity there so as to allow General Ward the opportunity to have dialog with him that will be on the record. Murtha wont...he’s too busy with accusing his own constituancy of being idiots and the marines of being murderors.

Murtha...I resnet the living heck out of you.

“...leadership on the Democrat side ...”

He said “Democrat,” not “Democrat-ic”

My wife is from his district. The people there are not Godless. They believe and vote for Murtha because they think he is strongly pro life and anti-abortion...

...and they think he fights for them.

They also believed that Russell was a carpetbagger. Murtha spent millions on TV right before the election telling them that Russell was from Virginia.

Again, it’s the media who won’t report the truth about Murtha.
