I'll be curious to see how much coverage these comments by Mr. Hackett get compared to coverage of his anti-Iraq comments.
Hawkish? When was it considered "hawkish" to demean the military the way Murtha has for the last several years?
Outspoken ex-candidate resurfaces on veterans, Marine issues
It is about Hackett, a former dem contender...
Hackett is representing Marines under investigation. Better headline would be:
Marines' Lawyer Fires Back At Backstabbing Opportunist Politician
Let me get this right, Hackett was the last Democrat to win a Moral Victory before yesterday's Moral Victory by Busby, right?
This from Hackett?
The traitor is going to have to be cornered by concerned US Reps while under the dome. Perhaps the willing could band together and form outside his office when it is known he is in side and then kick the frigen door down, run to the phone, rip the cord out, and then sit him down for a little talk.
I like the idea of mandatory drug and polygraph tests in Congress. Would make a great weekly reality show on FOX.
Those poor DU people. They worshipped Hackett, and then they were all upset when the national democrats dumped Hackett for their inside man, and now Hackett's attacking their other hero.
What will they do?
Mouthy Murtha can always find his way to the microphones and cameras when he wants to smear our troops or the WH. How 'interesting' that he just cannot be found when the heat is turned up a wee bit.....
I'm happy to see Hackett criticizing Murtha for his despicable behavior. Even though he's representing a Marine, he's also a Dem.
Diana Irey deserves the support of all veterans, including Democrats and Independants.

And yet when he was the dems' man (briefly) we mostly heard about the straight shooter part; once he was ejected, we started getting "both sides of the story".
John McCain, are you paying attention?
Murtha's office didn't respond to a phone call seeking comment.
He only responds if video crews are involved.
FREE OUR SHACKLED MARINES. IMPRISON MURTHA.
I wish Hackett would make up his mind...
I think we have this generation's John F'n Kerry...politically, I assume he was discharge honorably and served his required time in the service.
Last night, I again watched the video, "Breaker Morant." It's an excellent movie on the trial of 3 Australian soldiers in the South African Boer War. They were prejudged by the higher-ups as having committed atrocities in the guerilla war. Eerily similar to the Haditha situation.
Maybe he'll move to PA next year and primary Murtha...
What I find amazing about this Democratic War Hero is that like John Kerry he has refused to release his military records .
I pray Diana wipes the floor with him. Waaaay past time for that traitor to retire.
