A New Line from Liberal Vets
The Washington Times ^ | 9/28/06 | Editorial board

Posted on 09/28/2006 5:50:43 AM PDT by Coop

... John Murtha did his own version of Bill Clinton's recent tear on Fox News. Mr. Murtha's reaction was misdirected; the reporter represented Reuters, which is not known for vast right-wing conspiracy bona fides.

The reporter: "...[y]our position paper calls for a pullout of all combat troops by 2008. Do you folks have a plan to prevent Iraq from becoming a failed state that could prove a breeding ground for more terrorism that could directly threaten the United States?"

Mr. Murtha: "Where have you been? ...[i]t's cost over $400 billion today. Let me tell you they said that they would be able to walk amongst them as liberators. They said there were al Qaeda connections. All the things they've said in the past turned out not to be true. What makes you think because they say that there will be chaos that there will be?..."

The reporter: "I'm asking you: Do you think that there will not be chaos?"

Mr. Murtha: "I think ... I think this. It won't be any worse than it is today.
It's a civil war today. There's sectarian violence, it's Sunnis versus Shias, and our troops are caught in between..."

"OK, so the position of the group is that it can't be any worse than it is today?"

A VETPAC staffer intervenes. "Well, we're all Democrats, so we don't all agree on the fine points of anything. But that's the general thrust of the opinion."

And still no plan offered...

Democrats "act as if all those America-hating terrorists will evaporate back into the sands of Anbar province if the United States pulls out its troops. Alas, that is not the case." Who said this, some right-winger? No. It was The Washington Post's David Ignatius yesterday morning.

"Why is that do you suppose?"

Hmmmm ... I wonder ...

It's apparent that the Islamists are in love with killing human beings. It doesn't matter whom because they're taking their own out at a phenominal rate.

Now .. maybe ... just maybe ... the MSM and the DNC have attained the same degenerated status as the murderin' Islamists and their entire inability to think/report rationally has been compromised.

Psycho doctors cite various physical causes and reasons for crazy behavior, giving us a myriad of drugs and therapy's to deal with them .. perhaps 'they're' working on some new drugs to appease this mental disorder (Savage is correct) and the MSM/DNC are so desperate for relief .. they feel they must help the research along.

"We've diverted ourselves away from the real war on terrorism, which is worldwide and police work, and we've put our troops in the middle of a civil war."

Al Ja'Murtha ... you've actually said it .. it is a war

a worldwide war

a world war

WW3

And the solution is only victory by destruction of the enemy

If they really were interested in veterans running for office why not call this VETPAC, Veterans Running for Congress, not just those running as Democrats.
Work up this morning and happened to catch this Demo-VETPAC presser on C-Span. What a bunch, real savvy potentials for Congress and Murtha, looking like he was catatonic, was looming over the group, shuffling from foot to foot and inching toward the exit until he slipped out the door before the end of the event...it appeared he needed to get back to his bottle of JackD's "health" tonic, he is pitiful and if he wasn't such a tool I'd feel sorry for the old fool!

There's a scene in the "Looming Tower" where a group of Arabs are camping in Afghanistan during the Afghan/Soviet war. They're camping useing white tents that needlees to say stick out like a sore thumb) Some Afghan fighters come up to them and warm them that if they do this they'll be killed. The Arabs answer that that's why they are there...to die.

I am sure Savage would agree that it is a cultural psychosis induced by Islam, and modern day leftists are particularly susceptible.

What is it that allows Westerners to throw out their professionalism, common sense, logic, right vs wrong and good vs evil?

All to defeat Israeli and US power?

For decades the Western media and gov leaders have allowed these Islamic Cults to roam the globe murdering innocents with impunity.

How could anyone see them as victims and "winners"?

Have you seen this?

The blood has been spilled in Iraq of more than 4,000 foreigners who came to fight

I could only bear to watch VETPAC for a few minutes, I was curious to see/hear that traitor, Murtha. Gawd he needs to get out, he is certainly a doult. It also helped remind me to send a few $$'s to Irey's campaign.
