JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- President George W. Bush "just doesn't get it" when it comes to the war in Iraq, according to U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, (D-Pa.).
"The President's attacks against Democratic Party critics of the war at his news conference Monday fail to recognize the reality of the catastrophe that is occurring daily in Iraq because of the war," he said.
"Last month was the bloodiest month of the war with almost 3,500 Iraqi civilians and dozens of American soldiers being massacred. The President's stubborn decision to stay the course and insist that American troops will not be brought home while he is president ignores the suffering and damage that is going on there.
"Even our own military leaders and leading elected officials in the Republican Party are now calling the conflict a civil war. Sixty percent of the America people say they want an end to this war sooner rather than later. But President Bush seems out of touch with all this.
"Instead of deterring terrorism, our policies are fostering it. America is not safer because of the Iraqi war.
"I, for one, will not be distracted from my mission to bring about redeployment of American troops in Iraq just because the president lashes out in a partisan way at his critics.

( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)
Is Murtha up for re-election this year or next year?
So, the president should govern by polls, ay? That's what the last guy did. Marvelous job, wasn't it?
Mr Cut and Waddle speaks again.
They're right here in the cities.
I can't believe the President is so stupid, so thickheaded and so out of touch that he doesn't realize that we can maintain security in Iraq just by flying in a few Marines from Okinawa every other weekend.
This Murtha guy, besides being in such admirable physical shape, is really on the ball mentally.
It's hard to get crazy!
This year.

This November.
We'll see who "gets-it" in November....
There is no doubt in my mind that Bush gets it more than Murtha.
Diana Irey is facing Murtha in the November election and she's a true conservative.
Murtha called the Haditha Marines guilty of cold blooded murder before the investigation was completed and no charges have yet been filed against them. His cut and run plan is defeatist and it seems he is getting senile, he deserves to be retired this year.

Image there is no Murtha.
Is there anything worse than a blowhard, old, irrelevant politican like Murtha or Kennedy? Do we know how Murtha's reelection campaign is coming along? He deserves to lose, what an embarrassment!
Murtha, you are despicable pond scum...
