While Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman John Murtha has ascended to the national stage as one of the most vocal critics of President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, he has also long downplayed the controversy and bitterness surrounding the two Purple Hearts he was awarded for military service in Vietnam.
Murtha is a retired marine and was the first Vietnam combat veteran elected to Congress. Since 1967, there have been at least three different accounts of the injuries that purportedly earned Murtha his Purple Hearts. Those accounts also appear to conflict with the limited military records that are available, and Murtha has thus far refused to release his own military records.
A Cybercast News Service investigation also reveals that one of Murtha's former Democratic congressional colleagues and a fellow decorated Vietnam veteran, Don Bailey of Pennsylvania, alleges that Murtha admitted during an emotional conversation on the floor of the U.S. House in the early 1980s that he did not deserve his Purple Hearts.

The gift that keeps on giving. If Murtha didn't exist, Rove would have to build one.
Hahaha.... When Murtha shows up for work wearing his underpants on the outside the left will be screaming "He's a Rove plant! Damn that evil genius!". Hahahahah....
Oh, you mean Murtha was just saying we should get out of Iraq to further his own political ambitions? I am shocked, just shocked!
I was also struck by the self important arrogance of Murtha. It must be nice to be planning your new office before you've even won an election. LOL Oh thats right, Democrats should be in power by Birth Right.
If the Haditha story falls apart, which it may, this old fool better set his sights on running for Dog catcher
