LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, it’s easy to explain, really.

Someone played a prank on him and told him he was flying to Okinawa...

"I think the 'surge' is working," the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office

...good, because Murtha's not working. His adult diapers are though.

The cartoon showing “Mission Failed” reminds me of all the grief that Bush has taken over the banner on the carrier, claiming that he had said those words. I would hope the Republican leadership will take the Dems to task now over the “Mission Failed” banner that they “virtually” displayed, and the “Iraq is lost!” words they really did speak on the floor of the House and Senate.

“Hi, folks, I just pulled my head out of my aXX for a couple of days and noticed that the surge is WORKING. Now my main concern is how to try to salvage my reputation before everyone in America despises me as much as those good folks on Free Republic. Let’s all try to forget that I have done my best to lose this war, and let’s all try to forget how I have smeared and slandered good Marines in order to benefit my partisan political agenda. People can’t we all just get along?”

Interesting that Murtha seems to be crediting the military, unlike other Dems crediting the Sunni. Probably his way of doing a “Mea Culpa” while on his knees in front of the military.

Stroke,stroke,stroke,stroke!!

[potlatch]

They ‘spun’ it.

If I recall correctly the original banner meant the soldiers on THAT carrier had accomplished their mission and returned home.

[Uriah_lost]

There is no return, he is still “One of the few, the digraced, the ex-Marines.”

Thanks for the pings!

I have been visiting our wounded troops at Bethesda and Walter Reed hospitals almost every week since the beginning of the War.

Now, when I say redeploy our troops, I'm talking about to Kuwait, if they allow us to redeploy there, to Okinawa where we can be over the horizon, go back in, in case there's more terrorist activity.

You have got to remember, Margaret, there was no terrorist activity in Iraq at all before we went in there.

Well, I say that the fight against Americans began with Abu Ghraib. It began with the invasion of Iraq. That's when terrorism started.

“There was no firefight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. And that's what the report is going to tell."

Because the Pentagon MURTHAWI says it, you believe it?!!! You believe what the Pentagon John al-Murthawi says?!! Huh?!!!
After all the things that they have HE HAS told us?!!!

Where's the rope?

Fat bastige would break the rope. Firing squad.

[Just A Nobody]

LOL! Now where on earth did you find that?!?! Would not accomplish what I have in mind, but it’s a start. ;*)

[Just A Nobody]

Hey, your idea works for me! We have a consensus!

[REDWOOD99]

But do we have a quorum?

[Just A Nobody]

LOL! It’s 2:20 AM. Give me until 10:00 AM and I’m sure we could have one. ;*)

[REDWOOD99]

I move that we suspend the search and record the vote.

[Just A Nobody]

I second that motion!

Now, I'm going to bed! LOL!
