Those who've been following this from the beginning will remember that Representative John Kline of Minnesota echoed Murtha's comments and then withdrew them and apologized. His letter is at the LINK.

Whether Murtha ever apologizes or not, the lawyer for LCpl Stephen Tatum wants the Old Porker in court. See this thread from last night: Lawyer in Haditha Case Plans to Depose Murtha.

[Always Right]

This district has been selling their soul to the devil in return for government contracts for decades. The devil ain’t apologizing to anyone.

[smoothsailing]

I was just getting ready to post this!

The wheels are coming off Murtha's wagon even in his district!

[RedRover]

Murtha Watch Ping!

[EyeGuy]

The comments should have NEVER been made by an elected official of the US government in the first place. Making such accusations in public is damaging to the United Sttes across the board, not just militarily in the Iraq theatre.

Even IF there was guilt on the part of members of the US military, then raise hell behind closed doors.

This was nothing less than a treasonous action made for a cheap political gain, with the brain-dead, low life voters who infest his district.

[Doctor Raoul]

Murtha has broken faith with the Marines serving today.

He's cozied up to Code Pink.

He's withheld funding for the troops and played politics with their lives. When he was in Vietnam, he was the benficiary of the public's willingness to spend vast amounts of treasure to protect his fat ass. No amount of artillery shells or B-52 strikes was too costly to preserve lives. Now Murtha has them on a shoestring because he's got a beef with Bush.

Rat bastard.

[roses of sharon]

Murtha deserves the gallows.

[mort56]

Expecting decency and common courtesy from this man is asking the impossible. He had none during Abscam and he has none today. If the people of Pennsylvania had any sense they would throw this bum out of office. Unfortunately, I have seen very little moral outrage or intelligence from the greedy and hopelessly ignorant voters in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional district in the past and I have the same low expectations from them today.

[bmwcyle]

Off with his head (in the next election)!

Murtha, a Democrat who represents much of Washington County and all of Greene County, was a staunch supporter of the war in Iraq, but, in November 2005, he changed his position and called for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Huh? I must have missed that one.

[jazusamo]

It’s great to see the Observer-Reporter keeping the pressure on Murtha. At least one paper in his District is holding his feet to the fire, it would be nice if others would call Murtha on his despicable behavior.

[Badeye]

Liberals are unable to admit a mistake, so don’t hold your breath waiting for Murtha’s apology. He’s not man enough.

[jrooney]

Murtha should resign.

[The Great RJ]

John Kerry should similarly apologize for his characterizing US troops in Viet Nam as being like the murdering hoards of Genghis Khan.

[CPT Clay]

Damn right he should apologize!

He could resign while he is at it!!!!!

[caisson71]

Murtha should crawl under a little rock and stay there.

[BillF]

In case you haven’t seen this.

Merry Christmas (but would be better if he resigned)!

[StarCMC]

I can't wait for him to be deposed. I hope he's getting very nervous. He and Reid the back-stabber of Troops need to have their mouths sealed shut for Christmas. Among other things. They are enemies of this country through-and through.

[trimom]

Gosh, I would love to have tickets to watch that deposition. That phony marine fatcat....I hope the lawyers chew him up.
