Yes, you missed something. My grandkids are way the hell more important to me than her feelings!!!!
Best wishes to you and yours, and to many others who have posted kind words on this thread!
oh, put me on that ping list....I wouldn't want to be left out when she trashes FReepers in her next article. ;)
And that's the truth!
I do NOT believe that any of our military could or would do anything like this. I'll wait for an honest report.
murtha and sKerry are NOT truth-tellers by any means. Not to mention the drive-by media.
She sounds like an angry bitter leftist that they are. Why don't she just STFU.
Thanks, Coop. God bless her! Throw that rascal out!!!
:)
Actually it is the military (usually Marines) that protect ambassadors and other diplomats when their failed policies blow up in their face.
I put your little whinefest up on FR, and I dare say you owe me a great deal of thanks for tripling or even quadrupling your readership. You're way over 119 responses this time!! :-D But if you were whiny before, I can't wait to see next week's meltdown.

Now, I challenge you to interview me via E-mail. I'll be glad to answer your questions. I'll also have a few questions of my own for you, Ms. Heard.
If you've got the guts to answer me.
Semper Fidelis! (unless your name is Murtha)
Coop
USMC, '84-'93
Bush's fault. What a twit.
Nary a word about the hundreds of thousands Saddam put in the ground either. They must have had to sut that out to make her peice fit the column. Yeah, that's it!
TommyI went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!
"I got activated to go fight while the killing would be regrettable, I'd do it (Especially because they're trying to kill me first.), but the destroying things sounds pretty fun.
Besides... as a self-admited pyromaniac, I like blowing things up and setting things on fire."

Well, you won't be going very far in the rat party. You would have to become a thief, liar, and a coward for that. Oh yeah, and "have a plan" that you never disclose.
Just as I try not to judge thousands of journalists by the actions of Jayson Blair, Dan Rather, Catie Couriccccc, The New York Times etc.
If she really wanted justice for the Palestinians she'd support a process where they could coexist peacefully with the Israelis and wouldn't be killing themselves just to kill others.
Ms. Heard,
The biggest regret I have in regard to our military is they must selflessly serve, sacrifice and sometimes die for the sorry assed likes of you.
In your case Ms. Heard, and those like you and Pig Murtha, it's a terrible, terrible waste of a good soldier.

HER OTHER EMAIL heardonthegrapevines@yahoo.co.uk
Listen up.
There are thousands of people at FreeRepublic who agree that Ex-Marine Jack Murtha is seriously undermining our efforts in the mid-east. You are fortunate that only 119 took the time to reply to your worthless tripe. Murtha is an unAmerican, anti military cretin and ought to keep his mouth shut. He is aiding and abetting the enemy, resulting in more of our soldiers getting hurt and killed. The insurgents listen to people like Murtha and draw strength from it knowing that some of the people who are a part of our government hates America and our military as much as they do.
If you think its "worrisome" that 119 Freepers would take issue with you, know this: It is absolutely appalling and way beyond "worrisome" to me that Murtha would have any supporters at all, let alone a journalist.....a member of the "fifth branch of government". The only thing that I can deduce from your support of Murtha is that you are equally antiAmerican and anti military.
Keep on writing your antiAmerican tripe. After it has done its dastardly work by demoralizing and defeating our country, the islamic lunatics are still going to hate us. They will still hate me, and they will still hate you even though you are on their side. Its America and Americans they hate...even the Americans who hate America.
Who are you going to go whining to when a car bomb disturbs your meal at your favorite restaurant? Will you call on a demoralized and ineffective military to save you from your bombed out office building...or call them when your car gets blown up by an IED?
It is going to happen right here in the U.S. you know. No less than the 911 commission stated that its not if...but when....but you go on undermining and demoralizing the very people that have the means and direction to do something about it. Your position is so stupid and backward that it defies any sense of logic.
It will truly be interesting to hear your explanations when the car bombs start going off inside the United States.
Great e-mail, Coop.
I am anxious to see if she will e-mail you...but I won't hold my breath.
Linda is a typical armchair journalist who will not go to Iraq to see just how wonderful our military are as ambassadors of our country.
the woman is so stupid, but I guess intelligence is not a requirement for a journalist anymore. Maybe the lib press now just has cut and paste phrases and words on their computers!
