Haditha Statement by Murtha not holdingReuters is reporting that higher command considered an aerial bombardment in support of the ‘Haditha 8’ Marine squad because the firefight with the insurgents was so intense that day. The following statements are attributed to Maj. Sam Carrasco, who was overseeing troop movements in the area that day. [LINK] [EXCERPT:]"We saw insurgents go into a house, and we did not drop bombs on that house because we did not have (positive identification)," Carrasco told investigators. "They had engaged a previous unit and had run into a house with weapons." "We vectored the (Marine) squad and...

"surprise – Rep. John Murtha will go down to a much-deserved defeat in Pennsylvania" Philip V. Brennan / Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2006[EXCERPT] I don't like to make predictions – it's a dangerous thing for any columnist to do – but I'm going to stick my neck out and state unequivocally that the GOP was never – got that? never – in any real danger of losing control of either the House or the Senate. It was just made to seem to be the case by the media. Rick Santorum will win in Pennsylvania, Virginia Senator George Allen will trounce...

20 Reasons not to vote for John Murtha  1. Murtha wants to Cut and Run from Iraq. This has already proven deadly for America: Osama bin Laden cites the Cut and Run from Somalia (1993) as the main reason he believed al Qaida could strike the U.S. with impunity. Cut and Run is wrong now in Iraq for the same reasons. read  2. Murtha demoralizes our troops during war with his public statements: read, read  3. Murtha aligns with & accepts awards from radical, anti-military, soldiers-harassing organizations: Code Pink/Murtha photo-op, accepting their award: here MFSO/Murtha photo-op, in Washington, D.C.: here...

<p>From the Rumor Mill...</p> <p>Murtha: "Mine's bigger than yours"</p> <p>Rumor has it that that the Murtha camp is pulling out all the stops to make sure that his Oct. 30th rally at Central Park in Johnstown overwhelms the Boot Murtha rally the following day.</p>

Johnstown Tribune-Democrat:Murtha's hometown paper prints but refuses to include online a 3rd anti-Murtha editorial! All 3 letters have been written by Johnstown residents! NOTE: the editorial letter below appeared in the Sept. 11, 2006 print edition of the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat newspaper's "Readers Forum" editorial section. It is the the 3rd anti-Murtha editorial letter to be excluded from the paper's online website. There seems to be a pattern of discrimination. Here are the 3 editorial letters, now online at BootMurtha.com: "No medals needed to criticize lawmaker" Aug. 23, 2006... written by Johnstown resident Mrs. Harry Beam "Long time supporters no longer...

September 10, 2006      Fellow BootMurthaites,      There comes a time in most political campaigns when ambition outstrips means, and we at Vets for the Truth are at such a point right now.      It might be useful to lay out for you to see just what we have going on at the moment:      Operation Street Corner (www.operationstreetcorner.com)                          Leaflet drops in parking lots                          Displays in public places                          Acquisition of placards, billboards, leaflets, etc.              Salaries of two full-time area directors                          Purchase of tents, signage, clamps, etc.                         Vehicle expenses      Boot Murtha Rally                Funding speaker travel and lodging...

GENERAL GIAP AND CONGRESSMAN MURTHA by Henry Mark Holzer I’ve just finished reorganizing some of my Election 2004 essays. One, about John Kerry’s anti-war activities and the North Vietnamese, struck me because of how it applies today to opportunists like Jack Murtha, leftover Marxists, airhead celebrities, America haters, and virtually the entire Democratic congressional and party leadership. Here’s what Erika Holzer and I wrote two years ago:  "Fox News Channel has just reported that “in his 1985 memoir about the [Vietnam]war, communist Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren’t for organizations like Kerry’s Vietnam Veterans Against the...

From the Rumor Mill... Are Terrorists backing Murtha? Rumors are flying that Rep. John Murtha is ready to make war profiteering charges against Robert Irey – husband of Murtha's 2006 opponent, Diana Irey. Word has it the charges are based on a 'smoking gun' memo from Robert Irey's now deceased business partner, Dale Stoffel.According to published reports [LINK] Robert Irey's company, CLI, partnered with Dale Stoffel's company, Wye Oak, and through Stoffel's efforts in Iraq acquired more than $40 million worth of government construction contracts to build a center in Taji to retrofit Soviet-era armored vehicles for Iraqi civil-defense...

Labor Day has always been considered the traditional start of the campaign season in an election year......contribute to the polarization that has been gripping this country for too long. People don't debate, they toss partisan-party and special-interest talking points back and forth. ...[b]ut we will print letters that arise from a writer's impassioned thoughts about the issues that surface during the elections... More insidious in the campaign process are the 527 groups... The groups are exempt from taxes under the [IRS] code if they collect funds to influence or attempt to influence "the selection, nomination, election or appointment of an...

Time-laifacts vs Time magazine fiction "Sweetness & Light, which has been all over the Haditha story, notes that Time Magazine has been discreetly backing off its Haditha coverage with a series of corrections. Time has an enormous amount of prestige invested in its Haditha "scoop." It turns out, though, that the magazine apparently misrepresented the source of the videotape that got the whole story rolling. And it has also developed that a photograph that Time described as "one of the most damning pieces of evidence investigators have in their possession" is only the subject of rumor, and may not...

The Veteran as an Ethnic Groupby George Mellinger {NOTE: the following can be found on OldWarDogs.us}      For at least fifty year now ethnic identity has been at the head of the American agenda. African-American, Hispanic-American or Mexican-American, Asian-American, and gradually Jewish-American, Polish-, Italian-, Irish-, and other Hyphenated-Americans. The rule is, we must never notice these differences, while remaining always carefully aware of them. We must remember which group is the "group of the month" and appreciate its unique contributions and specialness, while simultaneously denying that it is in any way different, or that its members can even be...

The Way It Isa letter from the President of Vets for the Truth Like so many veterans who have served their country honorably, I find it hard to accept the words and actions of many of my countrymen — politicians, professors, protestors from the 1960s — who miss no opportunity to condemn their country and those who fight to defend it. I am angry at them all, those scum of the earth who abuse the freedom that our veterans have bought at the price of their own lives and blood.  I especially despise the George Soros/Michael Moore/Howard Dean crowd...

Murtha loyalist says "no more"      Congressman John (Jack) Murtha's radical about-face, left-wing march has left many of his constituents back home puzzled – and angry. Murtha's district is strongly pro-military. Below is a comment from one of Murtha's constituents posted on the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat's online Discussion board:      "I've long been a supporter of his, and if not for his vicious verbal attacks on our military heroes, I may still be among his most loyal supporters.      Play petty politics if you want, Jack - and criticize every Republican you can find any nit-picky details on to further...

Murtha's Code Pink star grows brighter      You won't see these photos of Congressman John Murtha in the state or local Pennsylvania newspapers. And you sure won't see these photos of Murtha on his congressional website. Sadly, these photos are amongst the avalanche of disturbing Murtha activities that are never reported to PA district 12 constituents.      Stunned PA district 12 constituents are just now seeing for themselves how profoundly Murtha has abandoned their values. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words:        The photos on the left show a proud John Murtha accepting awards...
