Pull out of Iraq now, congressman urges

Cover-up of Haditha killings wrong, he says

By Elizabeth Baier South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted June 25 2006

American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to a crowd of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.

Murtha was the guest speaker at a town hall meeting organized by U.S. Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, D-Miami, at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus. Meek's mother, former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek, D-Miami, was also on the panel.

War veterans, local mayors, university students and faculty packed the Mary Ann Wolfe Theatre to listen to the three panelists discuss the war in Iraq for an hour.

Well, the Dems did get him to drop his campaign for the dimwit, um, Dem Whip, was it, position?

I'm confused, because I read it was Whip, but various pundits said it was for Pelosi's job, but there are many more Dems
that want it that aren't as mentally and ethically challenged as Murtha, so maybe he will get the job.

Did I say job? Position, really.

Murtha needs to be removed from office. He is insane.

But I'll bet some southern Florida TV station has video of the "discussion."

Great "story" on cutting and running at The Peoples Cube:

"To cut and run is every American's right, entitlement, and a patriotic duty," demanded Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), adding that this plan is likely to become a central issue in the upcoming November elections. "If we grant every American the right to walk away from any task without completing it, they'll all vote for us. I would!"

I wish someone would save this man from himself and put him where he belongs -- in a mental facility.

I think the term "Turncoat" fits here.

I've known a lot of Marines in my life. Never met one the likes of this A**hole.

Let him speak! Give him a megaphone! Buy him TV time!

Let him become the first image in a voter's mind when they go to the polls.

"Has he billed himself to his constituents as a right leaning moderate Democrat?"

GOP needs to replay Murtha's own lines to his constituents repeatedly in the election campaign. Can't imagine this sad sack POS traitor getting re elected. He needs to go and is the poster boy for TERM LIMITS. If he does get re elected then Bigtime SHAME on W. Pa.

all he does is hurt the Democrats.

Sorry, but he's hurting ALL Americans now.

I haven't seen a set of congressional jowls like that since Howell Heflin left.

"...The French philosopher Michel Foucault, who embraced your Islamic Revolution, once pointed to his pipe and said "this is not a pipe" (because, truth be told, he was using it as an anal stimulator)..."

Wow!

Great Site!

Murtha is insane. I want him to keep talking, all he does is hurt the Democrats.

Laz, I disagree the guy's insane. I think he wants a leadership position in his caucus and realizes he has to appeal to the moonbats to advance.

I agree what he's doing will hurt the Dims in November, however, just like their cut and run resolutions last week.

That is the problem with so called safe seats. Redistricting on a regular, instead every Census time, is a must to make sure there are more fair representations. His opponent is a real smart, gorgeous lady who hasn't a chance. Too bad because she has some good ideas. He by now is apparently unhinged.
