More Than Words
More Than Words, indeed…
I didn’t want to include these comments in my Veterans Day—Thank you! post because the two shouldn’t be combined or mentioned in the same breath or vane.
John Murtha, served his country as an US Marine. Thank you. Thank you for your service and sacrifice—I mean that with gratitude and sincerity.
John Murtha has served this country by being a member of Congress for 17 terms!
Of course he’s had his scandals: He played a part in the ABSCAM scandal and it was a sham and shame that he survived political life beyond that event. But that’s history…
Of course he’s had his feet in his mouth: John Murtha is a now a disgrace as a Congressman, saying crazy things like his Pennsylvania constituents “are racist,” but later softened it publicly by saying “redneck… Pennsylvania reelected him just 7 days ago. Good job Pennsylvania! (dirty feet…)
Good for them, but bad for the US—he does partake in our laws, decisions, and spending decisions.
John Murtha, is partisan, has an agenda, and will use politics to advance his ideas. Ok, so, we all do that if we’re honest with ourselves. But John Murtha takes it two steps further!
John Murtha, was for withdrawing our troops from Iraq instead of finishing the job, instead of winning the winnable fight. Yes, there were casualties because of a strategy to limit casualties. But people die in war. Strategies can change and did. But instead of wanting to come up with a plan to fight for victory, John Murtha had a plan to withdraw in defeat—Just as he and the US experienced in Vietnam.
Now of course John Murtha wanted the military home so there would be no more casualties—right? But in war people die and we are at war—and when you go to war you should plan on doing what it takes to win, and if the strategy isn’t right—change it AND WIN!
John Murtha saw an event that he could use to advance his withdrawal plan *read RETREAT in DEFEAT plan—yes to save lives today—never mind future life loss the defeat might bring*
The tragic event John Murtha thought he saw was the US Killing civilians in Haditha during the Iraq war. Civilians killed, Marines with guns fired, war zone—Murtha, without investigation blames the US Marines—WITHOUT INVESTIGATION! May 17-30, 2006: Murtha’s Own Words About Haditha
John Murtha… Disgrace!
A sitting Congressman accuses men serving this nation of war crimes and atrocities before an investigation… WHAT????
No, these US Marines don’t need to be given the benefit of the doubt, they shouldn’t be innocent until proven guilty by YOUR OWN CONGRESSMAN safely sitting in his seat back in Washington DC! DISGRACE! Unacceptable!
Happy Veterans Day Disgrace!
Oh, by the way, the accused has been exonerated by an official INVESTIGATION!
What does John Murtha have to say—crickets! Nothing!
An apology? Nope. Nada.
Except today is Veterans Day and John Murtha wants to honor veterans… What does he have to say you ask?
JOHN MURTHA | Honoring our veterans takes more than words
BY JOHN MURTHA
The Tribune-DemocratVeterans Day is a time to honor those Americans who answered the call to service and who proudly fought to defend our freedoms.
America owes an immeasurable debt to each of the 23.4 million veterans alive today, including the tens-of-thousands living right here in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Honoring our veterans means more than just words and speeches.

John Murtha just got Re-ELECTED! Telling, very telling…
News FLASH: The change of strategy in the Iraq war is working and we now have the enemy on the run! People who were against winning the war, the people who were for running away—JUST GOT ELECTED!

Michelle Malkin: Hate to add a sour note, but you really must read smear merchant John Murtha’s Veterans Days column to see chutzpah in action. The man is shameless.

You just have to love TheView! Another disgrace! by Allahpundit: Video: Veterans Day on “The View”
What better way to thank the troops for their service than by reminding them what a colossal waste you think their sacrifices in Iraq have been? The One managed to avoid that in his own wreath-laying today, but I guess he doesn’t care as much as Behar does.
