Quote of the Day-----John Murtha (It's a doozy)

Posted on 02/16/2007 1:52:54 PM PST by Dog

'They 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. There’s no question in my mind.”

– John Murtha

This is an elected member of the House talking of denying our troops who are fighting and dying as I type this in Iraq the equipment....training to defend themselves against an enemy who will show no quarter and asks for none.

Words fail me.

It's pretty much enemy propaganda, and since the guy sits in Congress, probably enough language to try him for it.

I volunteer to kick the chair out from under his feet if it comes to that.

Or this one:

Sam Johnson, former POW: “Debating non-binding resolutions aimed at earning political points only destroys morale, stymies success, and emboldens the enemy.”

The families of soldiers should seek attempted murder charges. The democrats who cried that the troops didn't have the equipment they needed are now stripping them bare and leaving them exposed.

So no one claims I made up the quote .....here is where I found it.

http://washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20070215-080826-7089r.htm

Mr. Murtha, who chairs the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, explained that by placing conditions on $93.4 billion in new combat funds, he would make be able to effectively stop the troops in their tracks. "They 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. There's no question in my mind," Mr. Murtha said.

I was listening to Paul Harvey on the radio today....while waiting for Rush. Paul was quoting Murtha and he referred to Murtha as a man that usually avoids the limelight.

We aren't even two months into the "reign" of the Dems in Congress. We have to endure two years of this. Lord, help us. Oh, what a loathsome scourge has been unleashed upon our country--the consequence of indifference to civic duty. I hope those Republicans who stayed home in '06 to "teach their reps a lesson" are taking note.

The only good thing about this is the American people will be reminded in 2008 of this vote. It will rightly be viewed then as we all view it now as an abandonment of our troops. It's politically expedient RIGHT NOW for politicians to play these types of games but it will haunt them in 2008.

BTW, did you know that one of the Haditha Marines who Murtha called a cold-blooded killer is actually from Murtha's district?

Darryl Sharratt (father of LCpl. Justin Sharratt) has asked repeatedly sent requests to meet with Murtha or anyone in his office. Darryl has never even had the courtesy of a returned phone call.

Treasonous, idiotic, political posturing SOB!!! How DARE he even think, let alone say out loud, this kind of thing? I'm only 25 years old, but there used to be a time when you would get your butt monkey-stomped for saying things like this. God bless my fellow brethren in the U.S. Military. We will win this war, if the D.C. dumbocRATS don't lose it for us.

I'll tell you what I think - the troops need to come home now and turn their guns on the traitors in this country!

I would never advise any grandchild of mine to waste blood and sweat for a government that will cut them off at the knees.

Damn it!! This is the second time in my lifetime that this has happened. Enough is enough.
