I think I am getting too old to learn a second language.

Where the hell does the "Honorable" come from?

Obviously none of that means anything to him. He is doing Vietnam redux. Thinks he is the fat skerry. He has thrown away any respect he earned with both hands. FACE IT.

The Democrats all took oaths to be loyal to the Democrat Party not this country.

NANCY PELOSI - Complained that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception".- Speaking of "deception". In his speech demanding our immediate surrender in Iraq he cited this statistic on casualties over there. The Honorable JOHN MURTHA:
But the war continues to intensify.
"Over 15,500 have been seriously injured".
****You see, that's not quite right. There have indeed been over 15,500 wounded. But of those, 8375 returned to duty within 72 hours - so although those wounds weren't funny perhaps those wounds weren't quite serious either. Still, 7347 troops have been wounded severely enough to require over 72 hours recuperation. Furthermore, 2,791 Soldiers were wounded seriously enough to require evacuation to Stateside Army Medical facilities. Anyhow, I think it's important for serious guys like Representative Murtha of Pennsylvania who support the troops above partisan political gain to spend a few extra minutes every once in a while uncovering the readily available facts. Otherwise, unscrupulous opponents might level charges that they're manipulating those facts, or even lying to drag the country out of the war.
