W. POST REPORTER/AUTHOR REPUDIATES MURTHA STANCE

You're absolutely right -- this is an astonishing press release. I've read the book from cover to cover already, and I can tell you, the author does a remarkable job of putting together the indictment against the Bush Administration and its handling of the run-up to the war and the execution of the war itself, and its aftermatch. Nowhere in the book itself does he come anywhere close to ripping Murtha; in fact, the author's arguments about how we got into the war and what the Bush Administration did wrong in its execution of a war plan track exactly with what Murtha has been saying.

Nevertheless, it is true that he said on MTP what Irey says he said. After walking him through everything the Bush Administration did wrong from start to finish, Russert then closed the interview by giving Ricks the chance to discuss future options. And Ricks just slammed the door shut on immediate withdrawal, calling it "irresponsible" and "shameful."

You say "adroit." I say "clever." :)

"There are 103 days left in this campaign. The good news is, that's plenty of time to make sure the voters of the 12th District know just who Jack Murtha really is."

I have no idea how to take this post.

"irresponsible" and "shameful"
These words are not strong enough

Well, I don't think Mr. Ricks is actually on our side so they are probably strong words for him to use.

Murtha like Harry Reid is brain damaged.
Neither of these bozos are capable of any orginal thought.
They are being told what to say by someone else. Even then they have problems.

No argument here!

[Just A Nobody]

Well, OK, OK, on second thought, even if you plant yourself well to the left of Leon Trotsky!

Sad, but true!

It seems Murtha may be taking lessons from Howie Dean's playbook, he is also becoming the gift that just keeps on giving.

I suppose that is one way to look at him...hard for me to think of him as a gift. However, I see your point in that he keeps giving Diana fuel to add to the fire. ;*)

Some people are locked in a PC world. I am not.

Just one of the things I love about ya! ;*)

Pointing out that Murtha has been touting the book as a confirmation of his (Murtha's) position, that the author and Murtha agree point for point on everything until we get to


a pullout.

And that Timmy pretty much stepped right in it, never saw it coming, and better yet, that it was adroitly and cleverly

caught

by Diana.


It appears she doesn't miss much : )
