He is simply a traitor.

Look at the bright side, the award will look good on the wall of his prison cell.

He is not President Bush's secretary of the navy.

He is now Obama’s secretary of the navy.

He has to do what The One tells him to do.

A kick in the big fat "A" is what Murtha deserves.

Murtha and SECNAV Winter were undoubtedly ahole buddies from Winter’s time in the defense industry. Winter just gave him an award for the (tens or hundreds) of millions Fat Jack threw his direction over the years.

I am glad that the asshole SECNAV is leaving. I can believe that a jerk would give a jerk an award. A dark day for the Navy.

The Clinton years are in the process of being resurrected. Our military is going to be in deep doo doo if Zero has his way.

My take, also. Just a little bribery between friends.

I have friends and relatives who were and are Marines, and I am disgusted at the disrespect shown to all Marines by the SECNAV. The Marines work for the Secretary of the Navy, as part of the Department of the Navy, and yet the Navy is presenting this award to one of the few public figures who hates America and our military as much as Obama does? To quote Murtha:

REP. JOHN MURTHA: "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. And that's what the report is going to tell…"

BLITZER (another interview): There's an investigation of what happened at Haditha. ...you've suggested this week that there in effect was a massacre. …

MURTHA: Well there was. There's no question about it...

As a dad of a new Marine, Murtha in particular sickens me.

What's going on in PA you PA Freepers?
