In DEM speak, from the horse's (a$$ Murtha's own) mouth:

This story deserves more attention than it’s gotten, so I’m going to give it some.
The eagle-eyed NZ Bear while running the show at the Victory Caucus noticed a strange little blurb on the website of MoveCongress.org. MoveCongress.org, for those of you fortunate enough to be unfamiliar with the group, boasts on its masthead that it wants to “Move Congress to End the War in Iraq.” This morning, the group was scheduled to be blessed with an exclusive briefing from Jack Murtha on how…well, I’ll let you see how MoveCongress.org described Murtha’s agenda:
Chairman Murtha will describe his strategy for not only limiting the deployment of troops to Iraq but undermining other aspects of the president’s foreign and national security policy.
There you have it, plain as day. While the rocket scientists at MoveCongress.org have subsequently sanitized the release, there’s no putting this cat back into the bag. This is what Murtha and his cohort are up to. And, to keep this post an angry bi-partisan one, let it be acknowledged that these are the people that some Republicans are eager to ride shotgun with in a pathetic and amoral quest to keep their precious jobs.
Hannity was all over this one today
ping
Fox is covering this now on Brit's show. This fat slob has the nerve to claim this is to "help" the troops--tell me, please, how preventing reinforcements from going to Iraq is helping any of the troops?? These people disgust me.
Just saw this story & Murtha on Fox.
Thanks. good find!
MURTHA IS A TRAITOR! I am seething I'll have to up my BP meds!
when will we start sending them white flags - care of Jboehner to forwarded at one time?
I support MoveCongress.org, but I don't support their mission.
I heard Murtha's full quote twice. I can't see how it could be interpreted as anything but treason. I'm trying to find it in an audio file so I can start an email chain. No luck so far...
So we will pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan and apologize to the world for Bush's uncouth imperialism. How much is that jizya tax anyway?

Nice resume they have there.
This strategy is already well underway. In acting on the Omnibus spending bill, the Congress has cut the Army budget for BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) in half. Since BRAC is mandated by law, the Army will have to move money from other accounts in order to meet the BRAC statuatory requirements. One way they have done this is to inactivate the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division rather than to move this brigade from Germany to Fort Bliss (this brigade is just now returning from a tour in Iraq). This will make the brigade unavailable for a return deployment to Iraq when their turn next comes.
Democrats are also moving to remove funding for an Army Stryker Brigade's equipment from the Supplemental Funding bill. This means that this brigade cannot convert as scheduled and therefore will not be available for deployment to Iraq.
Their scheme is very transparent to those who understand, but is designed to fool the American people by saying that they are "supporting the troops" and "funding the troops". Neither statement is true today, nor will it be true tomorrow. They are supporting the enemy, of that there is no doubt.
Do you have a source on Talovic shouting "Allah Akbar"?
It was reported in none of the accounts I've seen, all of which tried to make the Bosniac Muslim's shooting spree appear motiveless.
The President said of Congresses' plans: 'I hope they don't do anything to stop the troops from doing what I told them to do'.
I'm hoping with all my heart that those words mean what they would coming fom a Man(as opposed to a politician).
Push these clowns to the edge, Mr. President, you might be surprised at the resolve of those behind you.
"source on Talovic shouting "Allah Akbar"?
Hard to tell. Maybe.

There are at least twenty stories and links just here at FR about this kid. Most are rehash jobs about the "poor refugee Muslim victim" from Reuters or AP. This link and some others are the hometown news, something I rely on more and more since last November. I will try to find another that has a listing of all "lone nut" Muslim attacks. It is horrifying to see it laid out that way.

Don't count out the Democrats. We have alot of
Americans who have Murtha's sentiments.
The 2006 elections show how fragile and slim
the pro-America sentiment is among people.
Damn democrats piss me off. If these jerks were in congress back in 1944, they would have voted to defund the army during of the Battle of the Bulge.
Pure treason. Just plain, pure treason. If only the President would stand up to these worthless treason loving hypocrites.
WHY?
I believe that was a pun.
A spin off of, "I support the troops; but I don't support the war".
Aid Comfort......... should Sadams Swingset be in Murthas future? This is sabatoge against our military while in the theatre of war! It has to be prosecuted appropriately!
Thank you Union Members in Johnstown and Washington PA.
Have you checked out the new Victory Caucus website??
I know they are really into activism...I bet you would do as well over there as you do here...in getting the "troops" eager to "do something"!!!
Please read post #17....
I have been wondering about all of the talk of BRAC the last few days...and I think this tells us why.
Thank you centurion.
That is a good site...I signed up the first day I heard about it.
Dear Lord help us
If you have the stomach to watch this entire thing ... do!

Than you, hipaatwo for the heads up
I wish some GOP Representative would bring out a big CHART with Murtha's words on them tonight, while they are debating..
I want him called out on the House floor...in front of the American people...AND our troops here and in Iraq.
Senators Hutchison and Cornyn have been working their hearts out on the BRAC issue. Pat Roberts too.
Could someone please construct a Republican PR machine out of a currently non-existent state and fight this?
This is not just about winning a political battle. Lives are at stake.
In DEM speak, from the horse's (a$$ Murtha's own) mouth:
BTW...that new site www.Politico.com is an MSNBC owned site...
AND for some AWFUL reason, they are being allowed to hold a debate at the Ronald Reagan Library...and MSNBC televise it.
I can't believe who ever runs that site would ALLOW MSNBC and this site be the sponsors of a Republican debate!!!
My prognosis for this anti-American fat POS from PA named MURTHA is he'll be dead within the year. Just one look at his pasty face, labored breathing, and hypertrophic heart spell this POS is checking out very, very soon. Still not soon enough for me!
Here's treason,
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,252216,00.html
The Bush administration "won't be able to continue.
They won't be able to do the deployment.
They won't have the equipment.
They don't have the training and
they won't be able to do the work,"
Murtha said in the post on the Democrat-friendly Web site MoveCongress.org.
"This vote will limit the options of the president and should stop this surge."
Thanks for the warning. I'd better not watch.
Wow --- unreal.
I am listening to the most UNBELIEVABLE interview on Hugh Hewitt's show...
He is interviewing Lt. Col. Wm. Odem....who wrote that horrible piece for WaPo...saying we are on our way to losing the war.
HE IS SCARY traitorous, IMHO>
I bet Hugh Hewitt has his interview on his site soon...he is almost worse that Wesley CLARK!!
Do you listen to Hugh on line?
Thank you! I've bookmarked it ---
