John Murtha Has Died

Jesus did.

I respect his service to our country as a marine. Although it is not PC, I think it should be stated, that he

dishonored the soldiers at Haditha, and to my knowledge, never apologized for the misinformation, and damage to those

brother marines.

---

It is my hope, that before he died, he did express regret, and apology to those men he falsely accused.

---

We all watched for months as, one by one, each marine was exonerated for any and all actions in Haditha, and at each

occasion, John Murtha was asked if he would apologize for incorrectly accusing them. On each occasion, he played

politician, never giving a straight answer, and in fact, specifically NOT apologizing.... See More

---

This affected not only their professional careers, but their private lives. I will not expect those self-same brothers

in arms to speak ill of John Murtha, even tho he defamed them as he did.

---

So, I will speak for the many who might have liked, and perhaps respected John Murtha, had he not levelled his sights on

guilt before trial, of each of his fellow marines.

---

Unfortunately, what he did IMO to many, many Americans, was to demonstrate, the worst in leadership, the worst in care

to brothers in arms, while in harms way.

---

His legacy, whatever it may have been, was forever marred in history, as an unapologetic egotist, not as a great

statesman, and lifelong public servant.

How sad.

This link chronicles each marine as he was exonerated, and Murtha’s refusal to apologize each time. Now all that is left is Wuterich, he sued Murtha, and murtha claimed congressional priveledge, and can not be sued. That too is covered in the link.

Let us hope that his replacement lives by the spirit, as well as the word of the constitution to represent his state.

It is a Pure D mystery to me: Why did this miserable sonofabitch kept getting re-elected to Congress?

IMHO, his “service” in the Congress is a microcosm of the difficulties that continue to plague America, and will continue to plague America until we permanently bar professional politicians FRom serving — i.e. Term Limits!

And, we must eliminate Congressional pensions and lifetime medical care.

We also need a Constitutional Amendment to allow line item veto.

There are more limitation we should impose on Congress and the federal government, but these will do for starters!

!@#$ John Murtha and the scumbags he aided and abetted.

So when is the election?

[onemiddleamerican]

Murtha sold his soul and betrayed our troops.

Today the devil called in the chips and collected his due.

[floriduh voter]

True that. Vengeance isn’t mine so I’m not speaking ill of him.

[floriduh voter]

Byrd’s in terrible shape and imo, he has dementia based upon the last interviews he granted.

It will be interesting to see if this impacts Wuterich’s case.

Someone else on the thread mentioned her as well.

Poor dems, best laid plans and all......

Like my Ol Grand Dad said “you got to strike while the iron is hot”. Dems trouble was they were stiking OUT at every turn.

[floriduh voter]

Yes, he said some beyond ugly things and made outrageous claims. If there’s any redemption for Murtha it will be handled by a higher power than any of us on the internet who knows how to type.

[floriduh voter]

Where are your links taking me before I jump over there?

[smoothsailing]

Hopefully it will be quietly dismissed, that’s the best we can probably expect.

[whatisthetruth]

LOL! More reflections....

Ok, so I’ll reflect.
