GUNNY BOB'S COLUMN NOVEMBER 17, 2005:

A Traitor's Tirade: Rep. John Murtha Soils The Corps

In a statement that has angered, embarrassed and humiliated Marines around the globe, one of our own -- a retired Marine Corps Reserve colonel -- has called for the legendary fighting force to retreat from Iraq and surrender to the terrorist organization that has killed thousands of Americans at home and abroad. He has even called for the United States to enter into negotiations with al Qaeda. This vermin’s demand for retreat, surrender and negotiations with the enemy is so committed to assisting al Qaeda in their efforts in Iraq that he has posted his unspeakable demands on his website in the form of an official statement

John Murtha press release: http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/pa12_murtha/pr051117iraq.html

The traitor, Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha, agrees 100% with Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al Zarqawi that the Marine Corps, which is mangling the enemy on a daily basis in Iraq and suffering comparatively light casualties, should lay down its arms, call it quits, and abandon the people they are defending in the fledgling democracy of Iraq.

Furious Marines from wars as far back as World War II are spitting mad at the cowardly colonel and many want his head on a stake in the middle of the Marine Corps Commandant's lawn. Personally, I would not soil that good earth with so vile and despicable a piece of offal.

Encouraging retreat is viewed as aiding the enemy by the Marines and is a violation of Article 104 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is punishable by death. Currently serving Marines, active duty or reserve, who encourage surrender are in violation of Article 100 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, an offense also punishable by death. Because Murtha is retired, he is virtually assured of not being prosecuted.

However, he will be celebrated by al Qaeda and other terrorists around the world. At this very moment, al Qaeda communications specialists are likely prepping pieces of propaganda using Murtha’s traitorous tirade as a tool to recruit fresh killers by showing them that even an American Marine (apologies to Puller) believes his allegedly beloved Corps is so inept in battle that retreat and surrender are the Marines’ best option and perhaps should, in fact, be added for the first time to the Leathernecks’ vast, quasi-mythical repertoire of operational art and battlefield strategy.

Murtha joins the likes of traitor Clayton Lonetree, the Marine security guard who gave top-secret intelligence to the Soviets, and traitor Robert Garwood, the Marine who went over to the enemy during the Vietnam War and was involved in holding and abusing US prisoners of war in North Vietnam while wearing the uniform of the enemy.

The Marine Corps is famous for its members standing their ground and winning fights against outrageous odds. Battles with names like the Peking Legation, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, the Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh and Fallujah decorate the hallowed halls of Corps history. Especially repugnant is how Murtha is insisting upon surrender while the Marines are decimating the enemy en masse.

Marines should ask Murtha if Chesty Puller would order retreat and surrender before the enemy.

John "The Jellyfish" Murtha should be shunned by all Marines and, if possible, legal steps should be taken to prevent this betrayer from being buried in a national cemetery upon his demise.

I'm ticked, too! It doesn't take more than about 5 minutes to research Murtha, and he's been against the war for some time. His "coming out" press conference was nothing new. Then you have the Clintoon's recent statements, and Demoncrat shills in the MSM playing up both "events" for all they are worth. Just look at some of the articles and look at how they stress Murtha's experience, initial vote for the war, and military service. It's all an attempt to inflate his credibility.

I heard you last night, Gunny. You were on fire, man! Like Harry Truman said, you're just tellin' the truth and they think it's hell!

I missed Vietnam, served in the Jimmuh Carter military. A whole other story, there. But for months I've had a knot in the pit of my stomach that the Rats and MSM will not stop until they do the same thing to the military now they did in Vietnam, and turn a victory into a defeat.

Apparently, the only thing Murtha learned from Vietnam was how to lose a war on the home front.

Your comments on the nature of leadership, at 38, are right on the mark. This clown, regardless of rank, cannot be considered a leader.

You know what...I do feel sorry for him. His record as a marine is being used to further the leftist agenda and it has severely impugned him.

My Murtha column just shot to #1 on page 1 of Google when you type in "Murtha traitor."

Thanks, gang. Well done, Tony.
