As if he hadn't already stepped over the line.
Murtha's NOT on our side.

Obviously it doesn't sear the memory...as evidenced by Kerry's 'Christmas in Cambodia' tale.

"Murtha told ABC News' "Nightline" program that Iraq "absolutely" was a wrong war for President George W. Bush to have launched."
That first statement there is all I need to know when I weigh any opinions of Murtha on the Iraq war, he is biased from the get go.. and he should just go.

The man is an embarrasment, I lost respect the first time he opened his mouth last month. Each time subsequently, it has deserved to be duct taped shut.....at least in a just world.

In his 31 years in the USMC, how much was active duty? I have had my fill of career reservists.

Why does not someone ask him whether he helps his brother in lobbying for defense contracts? While he might not re-up now, he has no problem with a brother hitting up people that Representative Murtha overseas on the defense committee.
To: ncountylee
Nice neutral question...NOT. It wasn't neutral, but apparently Rep. Murtha didn't feel the need to elaborate on his answer. Which is pretty telling, IMHO.

I had no idea who Murtha was until he spoke out against the war. I respect him for his military service, but he really needs to STHU. Al Jazeera (sp?) puts statements like his to use and it hurts our military men and women.

Would the armed services have him? That is the question.

"US Rep. Murtha says he wouldn't join military now"
Wise decision. Looking at his paunch, he'd never even make it through a French boot camp.

Yep, the good ol' days of joining the military when Clinton was Commander in Chief are long gone.....
Apparently the thousands of young men and women who joined the military after 9-11 and are continuing to re-up...are not seeing it John Murtha's way.

Murtha was a drill sergeant with 3 yrs. active duty, the rest spent in the reserves. Yet the press tries to make him into a military expert.

"Let me tell you, war is a nasty business. It sears the soul," he said, choking up. "And it made a difference. The shadow of those killings stay with you the rest of your life."
Another "seared in my memory" moment brought to you by the allies of Islamofascists, the Democratic Party.
