We’re getting old, aren’t we? LOL

BTW, what happened to Pissant? I received a threatening FReep mail from the now-banned Im4Fred, whom I never heard of, mentioning something about Pissant banning.

What was this all about?

Just one of my pet peeves is when some despicable memeber of Congress like Murtha is called a “Congress Critter” In my view it makes them appear to be warm fuzzy and lovable like a little “bunny critter” ... that is NOT what I think of them ... but then again ... it’s just me

Gotcha! When I say "CONgre$$critter" I generally envision a money snorting RAT CONning the sheeple.

It's all in how we perceive the term.

[DustyMoment]

Hoo-AH, Marine!!

Murtha better be begging for mercy when Sgt. Wuterich gets done with him.

[Just A Nobody]

Yes! Please...no further reminders. LOL!

Not sure what happened as I have been gone. I did receive the spam FRmail and read about the ban, but I missed it and I really miss pissant!

[Just A Nobody]

What a load of crap that is!

[RedRover]

Hey, Justa! I miss pissant, too.

BTW, today is the second anniversary of the Haditha ambush and the death of LCpl Miguel Terrazas.

I hear some civilians got caught in the crossfire in Haditha as well. Well, that's what comes from letting men with AK-47s into your home.

He needs to be sued and censured.

He needs to be standing on a corner with a cardboard sign instead of in the Senate.

Honorable, my butt.

When/If it's determined that he wasn't acting in an official capacity, though, he should start paying his own lawyers immediately and stop using government-paid lawyers.

Not only that, but he should be required to reimburse the Department of Justice for the work they've already invested in the case: lawyers at $360 an hour, paralegals at $180 an hour. If Scooter Libby has to pay, then Jack Murtha has to pay.

Always someone raining on my parade. ;^)

One of the survivors, a 12-year-old Iraqi girl, was interviewed through an interpreter on CNN. She said that as the Marines' vehicles first approached, she knew the bomb was about to explode, so she covered her ears.

Think about that for a minute. She knew the bomb was about to explode.

If she knew the bomb was about to explode, so did every other adult in that village. In my opinion, every adult in that village was either an insurgent or a collaborator with the insurgents, and chose to use their own children as human shields.

ROTFL. It be great to have new King of Pork taken down.

[oldenuff2no]

Send a half dozen recently discharge Marines to his home turf and have them go door to door and explain things to the voters.
The voters need ti fire this traitor.

Good point -- I hadn't thought about that.

Murtha was in Johnstown not on the House Floor when he made these statements.

[Just A Nobody]

if anybody can sue any congressman any time he or she says something critical

al-Murthawi did NOT just make some off-handed critical comment.

He accused our Marines of killing innocent civilians IN COLD BLOOD!

He was NOT on the House floor, there had been NO investigation, NO arrests, NO trials...in fact those Marines were still ON THE BATTLEFIELD in the middle of a WAR!

HUGE difference from making a "critical" comment about someone that would not result in the death penalty.

[Just A Nobody]

Hey there Red. Thank you for reminding us of the real tragedy that day. Prayers going out to the Terrazas family and of course our Marines.
