Ian's got the video of Murtha on Meet The Press.
Transcript here.
After criticizing Karl Rove's "fat backside," Murtha put forth his fat-headed Okinawa plan:
MR. RUSSERT: You say redeploy. Again, Mr. Rove challenges that comment.
Let’s listen and give you again a chance to respond to the White House.
(Videotape, Monday):
MR. ROVE: Congressman Murtha said, “Let’s redeploy them immediately to another country in the Middle East. Let’s get out of Iraq and go to another country.”
My question is, what country would take us? What country would say after the United States cut and run from Iraq, what country in the Middle East would say,
“Yeah. Paint a big target on our back and then you’ll cut and run on us.” What country would say that? What country would accept our troops?
MR. RUSSERT: What’s your response?
REP. MURTHA... We can go to Okinawa.
MR. RUSSERT: But it’d be tough to have a timely response from Okinawa.
REP. MURTHA: Well, it—you know, they—when I say Okinawa, I, I’m saying troops in Okinawa. When I say a timely response, you know, our fighters can fly from Okinawa very quickly...

What a maroon!
Doesn't this man know we're reducing the number of Okinawa Marines ?
Oh he means OkainawArabia- an island off of Camel Hump! ya see! It's real close to Iraq (/sarcasm)
Looks like Murtha is helping the Irey campaign with video soundbites! She can just let the man speak for himself.
Why would Okinawa want to attack iraq?............
Oh I hope she gets this one on her website! It's priceless!
Scotty could beam them over.
Wouldn't Okinawa a staging point for fighters if we had to, say, defend Thailand from China? I think that the need to fly over Indian airspace with the fighters and refuel craft in order to cross that great of a distance to react to anything coming at us from the Middle East just doesn't seem so smart. Does the Rep. own a globe.
Murtha must have failed geography. What a tool.
so the democrats plan to end the so called "occuaption of iraq" is to "occupy" other countries
and they think they lose elections becuase of hanging chads...
Five will get you ten that Kucinich thinks we could defend Iraq from the moon.....or anywhere else if we were only more karmically centered
Murtha uses the Jay Bennish geography lesson plan.../s
Everyday I become more and more convensed that liberalism is a form of mental retardation.
I vote for defending Iraq from Tupelo,Mississippi...should be about the same distance...and the troops can have all the frre catfish they can eat!
