Rush to judgment
Leaders, media quick to offer opinions on military matters
by Ilario Pantano
...Hearing Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) talk about Iraq reminds me of Van Winkle's 20-year sleep, but unlike the fable, there are real consequences to Murtha's nap, as illustrated by his comments June 11 on NBC's "Meet the Press." Murtha said that clearing Fallujah was a mistake: "We're recruiting terrorists in Iraq. We're allowing them to train in Iraq. We're allowing--when we do things like go into Fallujah--which they considered a military victory. We put 300,000 people outside their home." And he said that there's "not one project been done in Anbar province." I had to call my platoon sergeant in disbelief just to make sure I hadn't dreamed up our combat tour.... >>>read entire article |

I will do it...He is more than a clown..In todays environment we cannot afford to have a person like this serving in the halls of Congress...He sure did not learn the lessons that I learned while serving...I listen to him and simply wonder what in the world ever got him elected. One of my best friends that I served with in the Air Force. Past away with a major heart attack several years ago. He was from the same town as Murtha..I imagine the comments he would be making if he was here..He would not be happy that this individual comes from his home town with his traitorous attitude...Don was a Nam Vet and a proud conservative..

Folks, my check is going into the mail tomorrow morning. I'm writing "Member, Free Republic.com" on that line in the lower left corner of the check. Let's blow our own horn while we're blowin' Murtha off the political map with our contributions.
Hot Dog! This is one donation that's making me feel ecstatic!

I send my money to the "Vigilantes" as Bush called them to protect our Border. Murtah has sunk himself. I also send my money to build a Fence. The Minutemen will have a Fence built before Bush gets the full compliment of National Guard to the Border as promised.
