Nothing like hanging your hat on a Drunk (TK) and a Senile old fool (JM)
Earth to Congressman Arnold: Your cut-and-run plan got the smackdown in Congress 2 weeks ago.
Murtha has a plan=CUT AND RUN.
He was set up by the dem leadership because of his military record and as such is nothing more than a pawn like Sheehan who will be thrown away when his new found fame gets the better of him and he starts saying really outrageous,not merely foolish,things.
General Murtha is becoming a caricature..
Junkyard Blog quotes a NewsMax piece that catches Murtha urging retreat from Somalia:
"After terrorists attacked U.S. troops in Mogadishu, Somalia 12 years ago, anti-Iraq war Democrat, Rep. John Murtha urged then-President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from the region.
Clinton took the advice and ordered the withdrawal - a decision that Osama bin Laden would later credit with emboldening his terrorist fighters and encouraging him to mount further attacks against the U.S.
“Our welcome has been worn out,” Rep Murtha told NBC’s “Today” show in Sept. 1993, after the Mogadishu battle cost the lives of 18 U.S. Rangers.
The Pennsylvania Democrat announced that President Clinton had been “listening to our suggestions. And I think you’ll see him move those troops out very quickly.”
Let's see how that retreat played out in Al Qaeda's thinking. In Osama's Fatwa of 1996 he said:
Few days ago the news agencies had reported that the Defence Secretary of the Crusading Americans had said that "the explosion at Riyadh and Al-Khobar had taught him one lesson: that is not to withdraw when attacked by coward terrorists".
We say to the Defence Secretary that his talk can induce a grieving mother to laughter! and shows the fears that had enshrined you all. Where was this false courage of yours when the explosion in Beirut took place on 1983 AD (1403 A.H). You were turned into scattered pits and pieces at that time; 241 mainly marines solders were killed. And where was this courage of yours when two explosions made you to leave Aden in less than twenty four hours!
But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia; where- after vigorous propaganda about the power of the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world order- you moved tens of thousands of international force, including twenty eight thousands American solders into Somalia. However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge , but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal. You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the "heart" of every Muslim and a remedy to the "chests" of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu."
Any reporter who'd ever read any such histories, would also know that Murtha is a fool, plain and simple. Being charitable to the American press, I conclude that more of them are ignorant, than know these histories and are dishonest in not putting those facts side by side with Murtha's foolish statements.
Mere history is all it takes to blow Murtha out of the water. But the job of presenting those facts is on us, in the alternative media. I mean, can you see Katie Couric doing an in depth comparison between Murtha's babbling and Germany and Japan, from the middle of WW II until four years after V-E and V-J days.
President Roosevelt did not have a "detailed plan" either for exactly how the balance of the war would be fought and won. He did not have a "detailed plan" for the reconstruction of Germany and Japan after their surrenders. And if Roosevelt had had such plans, circumstances and problems on the ground would have prevented the US from following the plans as written.
This is plain common sense. Murtha had his common sense surgically removed about five years ago. Members of the American press are (largely) hired because they can demonstrate that they were born without common sense. So we have to make up for that lack.

It's pitiful watching an old Marine allowing himself (and his military service) to be used as a "useful idiot" by the Socialists and Marxists in the "DemocRAT" party. It's his friends on the left, not Schmidt and the Republicans, who are laughing at this old fool behind his back. Sad. Wake up Jack. Start acting like a Marine again.
