MURTHA CONTINUES TO UNDERMINE TROOPS
By William Russell
In recent interviews defending President Obama’s slow decision making on Afghanistan, Congressman John Murtha continues to undermine our troops, embolden our enemies, and place our country in greater danger. He does this by drawing on the wrong lessons from his own experience in Vietnam, and endorsing the enemy’s propaganda.
By continually questioning the request for more troops, Mr. Obama and Mr. Murtha are signaling the possibility that America might withdraw as we did in Vietnam. But unlike Vietnam, we do not have the choice of leaving and withdrawing to our own peaceful shores. We have no choice; WE MUST WIN. We are fighting an enemy that attacked the United States and murdered nearly 3000 innocent Americans before our very eyes. Handing this enemy victory is not an option.
Like the North Vietnamese, our current enemy follows the American anti-war movement and politicians to determine if they can defeat us.
The actions and arguments of Mr. Murtha and Mr. Obama are telling the enemy “America’s political resolve is wavering. Al-Qaeda and the Taliban can win.”
As a Marine Intelligence Officer in Vietnam and savvy politician, Mr. Murtha bears special responsibility for this message. At every turn since November of 2005, he has endorsed the enemy's propaganda and undermined America’s Soldiers in harm's way. He openly called for withdrawal from Iraq, he falsely labeled our troops as cold blooded murderers, and he is currently highlighting some of the corruption issues of the Afghanistan government (which are so similar to his own) while ignoring the brutality of the enemy. He should know better as these were common messages of the anti-war movement during Vietnam.
Mr. Murtha is using the enemy’s propaganda as his own political message to pay back President Obama for saving him in the last election. But in doing so, he is telling our enemy that we are not determined to win. By his actions, Mr. Murtha is emboldening the enemy and setting America’s Soldiers up for defeat. He is telling the enemy that if they just keep killing enough of our Soldiers and innocent Afghan civilians to make the evening news, they can win – just like Vietnam.
One will always continue to do what they are good at.
There is no excuse for men like John Murtha to remain in our government. Pennsylvanians should remove this cancer from their/our midst.
As much as I agree with you the people of his district decided that none of this matters and have given him carte blanche to say whatever he wants about our brave men and women.

I’m going to get bold here and do what Jesus said to do; judge a tree by its fruit.
John Murtha is a KGB agent fighting a war against the United States military from the top inside.
Well said by Bill Russell.
Murtha is using his supposed “experience” as a military veteran to further his antiwar agenda with Pelosi and the liberal left. Russell couldn’t be any more right when he says Murtha is furthering the enemy’s propaganda.
This needs to be said, and I will probably get flamed, but here goes.......murtha represents his district...if he is a traitor, so are the people of his district...it is time to put the blame where it belongs, and it is square on the head of the citizens of his district, they are the real traitors.....

I would only add that not all of the people in the district "decided that none of this matters".
In 2008 Murtha(D) recieved 155,268 votes(57.9%) and Russell(R) recieved 113,120 votes(42.1%)in a district that has 2.2 registered Democrats for every registered Republican. A swing of 22,000 votes out of 268,000+ cast would have elected Russell. 2008 was a lousy years for Republicans.
Russell is going at Murtha again in 2010, as a matter of fact he hasn't stopped campaigning since Election Day 2008. Murtha is even weaker than he was last year, and Russell is gaining more and more support with each passing week. 2010 appears to be alot more favorable to Republicans than Democrats.
Russell can definitely pull this off.
I’m not gonna flame you, but you might want to read post #12.
I agree, Russell has it right, Murtha is aiding and abetting the enemy.
Thanks for pinging the list! :)
I sent Russell money in 2008 and I will again in 2010. Murtha has to go. Others to follow and HELP are Col Allen West (FL22) and Frank Guinta (NH-1). Guinta (when he wins the primary) will be running against a flaming lib/socialist Shea-Porter who bragged that she’s voted with Pelosi “100% of the time because [Pelosi’s] 100% right”.
Thanks for the post, Snow Eagle. I’m definitely helping Russell and West, but I’ll have to read up on Guinta. Thanks for the heads up!
My only consolation is that murtha is no real Marine.
He's no real American either.
I agree, Ma, he's not even fit to hump a ten percenter's rucksack.
