MURTHA ACCUSES THE MARINES
boortz.com ^ | 05/18/06 | Neal Boortz

Pennsylvania Democrat John 'cut and run' Murtha, the Congressman from Al-Qaeda, has once again opened his mouth and stirred a little controversy. He is accusing the United States Marines of killing Iraqi civilians...on purpose, in cold blood.

This time he is referring to a March incident that was reported in Time magazine and one that the military is investigating.  The story goes that 15 Marines walked right into a civilian house throwing grenades and shooting...killing 15 Iraqis, including women and children.  That's right...the U.S. Marines go around killing innocent people for no reason.  That must be some military we have!

According to Murtha: "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."  Murtha knows this, of course, because he was there.  Except he wasn't.  Perhaps he should keep his mouth shut until the investigation concludes.

Just whose side is he on, anyway?  It doesn't appear to be ours.  He's sure lovin' the controversy though.  Hey, I wasn't a Marine, but I grew up in the Marine Corps.  I can tell you that no Marine worth his salt is ever going to accuse another Marine of murdering someone in cold blood unless he has the incontrovertible evidence to prove the charge.  So ... Murtha the Mouth ... let's see it!

Murtha is a disgrace. This investigation is ongoing and for him to make these conclusions is pathetic.

Diana Irey is opposing him in November and needs backing. For anyone wishing to help her campaign, here is her Web site.

The voters started to clean out the rats nest of elected officals on Tuesday, maybe he should just shut up and do the job he was elected to do.

Murtha has become the Cindy Sheehan of Congress, constantly looking for the nearest camera. "It's all about me."

Isn't there some way Irey can get to Murtha's right on guns and/or illegals? Those are issues that seem to move PA voters from what an outsider can tell.

Here is a good timeline of his comments & views on Iraq: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2005/11/representative-murtha-truth-or.html He was saying Iraq was "unwinnable" at least as early as 2004... He is a doofus.

I'm guessing Congressman Murtha will not make any more trips to Iraq to hang with the troops.

Once a Marine, always a Marine? Well, I'll leave that to the Marines to chew on.

Can you believe there are some conservatives who think putting these Dem traitors in control of Congress (and thus the GWOT and its' funding) is a good idea?

This is good news. When people like Murtha criticize us for brutality, they are having trouble finding evidence that we are losing the war. They would rather find such evidence, but, without it, they resort to the "killing innocent civilians" charge.

She gave a great response. Murtha is 100% unacceptable at this point. Enough is enough. Please Diana Irey...Please WIN!

For sure somebody needs to invite Murtha to step outside. This is the kind of stuff that used to get people into duels (Hamilton vs. Burr).
