Murtha Claims US Troops Living In Palaces While Iraqi`s Have Nothing
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200702/POL20070216b.html ^

"If this resolution passes the House and the Senate, the president could veto it, but then he wouldn't have any money," Murtha noted. "What we're trying to do is make sure people understand we're supporting the troops, we're protecting the troops, but on the other hand, we're going to stop this surge.

"The other thing we're doing is saying, no permanent bases," Murtha said.

"He did not elaborate but went on to talk about services enjoyed by U.S. troops in Iraq but denied to many Iraqis."

"Let's take, for instance, Saddam Hussein's palace - that's where our troops are living," Murtha said.

Why do we not have protesters following this piece of garbage around everywhere he goes. He needs to be slapped everyway but Sunday. If I had a contageous disease, I would sneeze in his face. I have never been this angry at anyone. He besmirches the honorable name of Marine. Why is he allowed to live? He should be hanging from a rope.

Can the Marines reinstate Murtha and send him to the Sudan or something?

Oh me too! These wimpy republicans...It is embarrassing. They need to stop worrying about their hineys and re-elections and STAND UP for our boys!! For crying out loud!!
Sometimes I feel so frustrated. This is what happens when fools get in power. It is absolutely devestating.

There are a lot of old union coal miners in his district. They only pull the dimocRAT lever.

If they were really "old" and really "union" miners, they'd be pulling the REPUBLICAN lever every single time.

I think they're young women who do what the NEA tells them to do and most of their leaders are enamored of an old, used up codger like Murtha ~ he "doesn't bother them" you know.

The sooner this Rat f*** dies what I hope is an agonizingly painful death, the sooner I can make a special trip to p*** on his grave - provided its not in the final resting place of REAL MEN, known as Arlington National Cemetary!!

Murtha is a disgrace to the Marine uniform. He should be taken out and horse-whipped by returning Marines from Iraq duty.

What a jackass. I've seen pictures of the hole in the wall my son lived in for 7 months in Haditha. It wasn't any "palace"
