The Honorable John P. Murtha War in Iraq

house.gov/apps/list/press/ ^ | November 17, 2005 | Honorable John P. Murtha

[B4Ranch]

U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha has dedicated his life to serving his country both in the military and in the halls of Congress. He had a long and distinguished 37-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps, retiring from the Marine Corps Reserve as a colonel in 1990;

[sissyjane]

Then it's even more sad that he turned into a traitor to his Marine Corp and the people he serves. He's nothing more than a John F. Kerry at this time.

[JennysCool]

Honorable?

If he says so.

[OldFriend]

Nothing honorable about the man at all.

[yldstrk]

Bullfeathers. Grow some spine. Fight the gaddam terrorists and run 'em into the ground now or we will wish we had when we had a chance.! I don't give a gaddam how long this guy's military career was, he's obviously got hardening of the arteries, at this point and has hung around Washington too long brownnosing with the pols. I don't give a hang about his esteemed opinion - it is wrong. It is chicken manure. We need to fight and we need to win! From a former military chick with a spine of sttel and an iron will! The Islamists want us DOA

[yobid]

His plan calls for the instant death of thousands that have sacrificed in the war. I call for him to STFU.

U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry has dedicated his life to serving his country both in the military and in the halls of Congress. He had a distinguished career in the US Navy, retiring from the US Naval reserve as a lieutenant in 1978. Like his buddy John P. Murtha, John Kerry enjoys stabbing active servicemen in the back and second-guessing commanders serving in the field as well as being an award-winning backseat driver.

37 years and he couldn't manage one star? What kind of an idiot is this guy?

[B4Ranch]

The Islamists want us DOA and we babysit their children here in the US while they accomplish their goals. We have more traitors in the US today than I ever thought would be possible.

[wideawake]

We have more traitors in the US today than I ever thought would be possible.

Indeed. Of course, the traitor du jour is the cowardly John P. Murtha.

[unionblue83]

I saw a post earlier which pretty much sums this up. Allow me to paraphrase, "...I believe Benedict Arnold served our country well up until that little mishap..."

[Joe 6-pack]

All of a sudden, the Congressional leftists tell us a man's word is unassailable because he's a retired Marine officer and a Viet Nam veteran.

I don't remember it being that way as recently as 1987...

Murtha

[NavyCanDo]

Someone want to dig up his Hardball interview transcript from 2003 or 2004? Despite the medias attempt to make him look like a pro-war hawk now against the war, he can't change the harsh words he has had about the war in the last two years. It was during this Hardball interview he was saying some of the same things he is saying now.

[Zacs Mom]

Nothing new here, folks - this is just a publicity ploy that amounts to nothing more than restating what he has said before and calling it news ~ Media Ignore Congressman Murtha’s Long History Of Opposition to the Iraq War

[FlingWingFlyer]

Murtha is just a tired old man who is a victim of believing the "polls" being released by the Bush-hating Commies in the MSM. These "polls" do not represent what the American people think. The Liberal MSM is manipulating the results of these "polls" in an effort to regain control of our wallets and checkbooks. PERIOD!!

[RichInOC]

"I like guys who have never been there to criticize us who have been there. I like that. I like guys that have got five deferments and never been there and send people to war and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done."

--himself.

In John Murtha's case, "The Honorable" is an identification of rank , not an actual description.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I've been wondering if Soros/Moveon got to him somehow? This is too big a switch to be anything else.
