Murtha Claims US Troops Living In Palaces While Iraqi`s Have Nothing

"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.

It's a PROPOGANDA WAR, and we lost it long agao....

A breathy explanation of economics isn't nearly as sexy as "SOAK THE RICH!", or "Illegal War For Oil!!" in a world where the majority of sheeple get thier news in 5-second soundbites, during the 30 second news leader preceding "American Idol"...

This tratior has a lot of nerve. Although the stupid voters re elected this moron it's beyound belief that he would say something like that as he gets ll his benifits paid for by the tax payers, has a large staff to do the work for him, lies whenever it will benifit himself, and get paid to do little or nothing except down our great country for his own benifit.

It's people like him who jump on their little soapbox and show people with a brain just what morons and traitors they really are.

This Murtha is determined to destroy our military.

I hope that anyone who voted for the Democrats in the last election can see what a disaster this has been for our nation. Even two years of unceasing attack on our military institutions will be hard to recover from.

It was expensive enough to recover from Mr. Carter's depredations; it will be more expensive to recover while in time of war and with such a sophisticated military as we have today.

Is He?

Here is how it is being presented on another message board, just ONE minute ago...

"House Says No Escalation, Senate GOP Will Fight American People"

Notice the rhetoric?
If we stand up against the non-binding surrender, we are "AGAINST AMERICA!!"

Do we have NO ONE in Washington with the balls to stand up and call these people what they are?

TRAITORS......

How often has this crusty old coot been outside the wire? He makes plenty of trips to Iraq sitting in board rooms while our troops provide him drink and food. He is told what is going on , yet he returns home and spews trash like this. He either needs to stop taking trips and only visiting the green zone or just remove himself from Fort Comfort D.C.

I'm sorry for you and your family. Does Union control of a city/town mean they vote DEM and only DEM? How do other people not controlled by Union bosses vote? Or, is voting corrupt.

Now that I look at it... NH is no better.. we seem to be going in the direction of Liberalhood.. too many people from NY & MA moving here and voting the Liberal way.

Well I guess Murtha is calling my former Marine son a liar. He told us he lived in a tent in Al-Taqqadum.

There's a lady who owns a small store in my neighborhood. She is a Rat zombie. I tell her that you DO want a war for oil. She gets deliveries everyday. No oil,no gas,no delivery,no products to sell,no profit,no money. I ask her if she pays her employees union rate. She just looks at me and laughs,"Yeah Right!"

All these nitwits want to receive union rate,but do not want to pay union rate. You can beat them in the head with a 2x4 and they will still talk about the Rat party with a dreamy,far away look. Scary!!!!

"surges have not worked in the past" because enemy forces "disappear, and then they come back later on. To think that a surge will work is, in my estimation, false thinking."

Thank you General Murtha.
