Murtha Truly Is A Traitor
by Big Dog on Jun 26, 2006 at 14:54 Political
John Murtha was a Marine a long time ago. We are all respect and are thankful for his service. That service however, does not give him the right to run around making claims about our military that border on treason just so he can score political points. It is no secret that Murtha has been talking badly about the troops and that he wants to cut and run like the coward he has become but this is what he said at a town hall meeting in Miami:
American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to a crowd of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.
Is this nut job serious or has senile dementia finally set in for this doddering old fool? To indicate that we are more dangerous to world peace than two thirds of the axis of evil equates us to an evil entity. John Murtha has said that America is part of the axis of evil and he was not taken to task for it. As a matter of fact, whoever wrote the story rewrote history for Murtha or glossed over the truth to make him look better:
Murtha also has publicly said that the shooting of 24 Iraqis in November at Haditha, a city in the Anbar province of western Iraq that has been plagued by insurgents, was wrongfully covered up.
What John Murtha said was that the Marines involved committed murder. He accused them of murder and he basically said they were guilty before an investigation was completed. No charges have been filed and John Murtha has convicted the troops. Where in the story is this mentioned by the crack reporter? NOWHERE. Murtha is a disgrace to this country and he needs to be replaced which leads me to a very qualified, energetic young lady who is a true patriot and a big SUPPORTER of our troops. That lady, the person who is going to take Murtha’s seat in Congress, is Diana Irey.
We need Diana in Congress and Murtha in an old veteran’s home.

UPDATE: Be sure to vote for the Jackass of the Month. Murtha has a commanding lead and looks like he is on his way to being in the Hall of Shame. Three time winner (loser) Harry Reid will be happy to get off the wall.

I hope Murtha sees this blog. If he doesn\’t subscribe, then you should send it to him.

What are you going to say when those guys are convicted?
The war in Iraq has killed over 50,000 Iraqis , 2500 Americans, and countless people from other countries.
The war in Iraq has cost of $290 trillion dollars; imagine how many lives that money could save if it was invested in food and medicine.
The war in Iraq has started a civil war in Iraq.
The war in Iraq has fueled Islamicism throughout the world, increasing hatred for the west, and increasing support for Jihad and warfare.
The war in Iraq has overstretched our military making it more difficult to deter proliferation.
North Korean and Iranian nuclear threats have killed no one. Nuclear proliferation does not have a history of leading to war. It didn’t in India and Pakistan. In fact, it tends to deter conventional war beacuse the costs of going to war are so high when nuclear weapons are in play.
So why is John Murtha wrong?
Funny the last time I discussed this with an Adam, he told me that over 100,000 Iraqis had been killed. When I said that this was inaccurate I was told to seek the information of some lefty outfits who conducted studies. Now we are at 50,000. Did Mohammad resurrect them? Nearly half a million killed by Hussein, where is the outrage.
Yes, imagine spending 290 trillion dollars on medicine and food instead of giving it back to those who paid it in. If we were able to spend this much on a war that was not in the budget then the government took too much from taxpayers. If you claim that it caused a deficit then we should not use it for food and medicine because that too would increase the deficit.
There is no civil war in Iraq as of yet. That is what Murtha and others call the unrest to try and get Americans out of there. If a civil war breaks out, that might be what they need to have a stronger nation. The one we had made us better, except some of the liberals survived.
The Muslim world has been full of hate since it was established. They have always hated us and only made nice when they wanted something. Their goal is to impose Islamic law on the world or kill those who will not convert. If you think that is OK then you can go there but we will not let them do that BS here.
You know nothing about our military. Overstretched is a matter of opinion but we would have more troops if Clinton had not cut the military strength in half during his time in office. I propose we remove our troops from Germany and use them in the war and on our borders. This will infuse new troops and leave Europe to defend itself and will save us a lot of money.
I guess the killing that occurs between India and Pakistan over nukes (but not using them) has escaped you. There is a lot of killing based on someone having the weapons. In addition, every time something goes wrong someone with a nuke threatens to use it. Iran\’s nut case President will use a nuke. North Korea might or might not depending on whether Il is stupid enough to think his country will survive if he does. Imagine being one of the people living in San Francisco when he decides that he will launch a nuke. I live on the East Coast and he can not hit here but the folks in the West will be in trouble. Then they will all cry (those who do not die instantly and die a long agonizing radiation death) that nobody did anything to protect them boo hoo.
Murtha is wrong because he is helping the enemy. You would have thought that the liberal idiots would have learned from what the North Vietnamese told us. They counted on the American anti war movement and statements by Fonda, Kerry, and others to assist them in winning. They knew that if they waited long enough our own people would do us in no matter what the battlefield losses on their side. You would think that someone who served would know this. He would be the first to bitch and moan if he were in combat and politicians did that to him. In addition, our troops in Iraq have said that every time people like Murtha open their mouths more of them are put in danger and get killed. We should at least be listening to the people who are there. He is aiding and abetting the enemy and that is how he is wrong.
Gregdn,
Spoken like a true liberal. I think you mean IF they are found guilty. You see, you are no better than Murtha because you have convicted them already.
If they are found guilty through due process then, and only then, will I say they were guilty. I believe that in this country a person is innocent until proven guilty. This does not fit into liberal philosophy where the military is always guilty no matter what.
This attitude comes from the party whose head of the DNC said that Osama bin Laden deserved the benefit of the law and was innocent until they proved he was guilty. It is a shame you guys give rat dung like OBL more than our brave men and women. The true heroes get shafted by those who do not have the balls to fill their shoes. The people who take all that America has to give (mostly paid for by the taxes of the wealthy) condemn those who ensure they are around to get it.
The question is, what will you say if they are found not guilty?
This story has taken so many twists and turns, if you blink, you’ll miss the next turn.
New developments are being being tracked at this news site:
http://theinfozone.net/JohnMurtha.html
A notable development: The original Sun-Sentinel’s article written by Elizabeth Baier, has been removed from their site and replaced with Ms. Baier’s revised story.
If any of you bookmarked Sun-Sentinel’s original article that has made them famous for their “the shot heard around the world”, check your bookmarked page now.
Interesting to note, it retains the original publication date June 25, 2006, and The Sun-Sentinel did not note this story is a revision.

The World of Journalism is Flat, Too
Please read the following IN BOLD VERY CAREFULLY, if you value what we’re doing in any way, shape or form.
I’M JUST THE FORREST GUMP (SOME WOULD SAY ANDY GUMP) IN ALL THIS.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME. ANY TIME SPENT ACKNOWLEDGING ME COULD BE PUT TO MUCH BETTER USE ACTING ON THE REQUEST BELOW. YOU CAN SMILE AT YOUR OWN SMARTS IN FIGURING OUT WHAT ALL THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT WELL IN ADVANCE OF MAIN STREAM MEDIA FOLKS.
ALL THIS IS SOLELY ABOUT WHAT “THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM IS NOT FLAT, TOO” WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH, ASAP.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS SECONDARY.
HERE’S WHAT’S IMPORTANT. FOLLOW YOUR OWN “INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING”, SEE OF YOU FIND MORE MISBEHAVIOURS. WE HAVE A LOT WITH REGARDS TO FIRST “THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD”, THAT GOT REPEATED EVERYWHERE.
If you find another MAIN STREAM MEDIA SOURCE that turns that FIRST PARAGRAPH INTO A DIRECT QUOTE ATTRIBUTED TO MURTHA, DO EITHER A SCREEN CAPTURE OR CACHE COPY (PREFERABLY BOTH). I’LL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH IT, BELOW.
WE NEED MORE THAN JUST “GOT YA!” SAMPLES, WE NEED EDITORS TO STUDY THESE REPORTS CAREFULLY BEFORE THEY GET SENT TO US. THIS WILL KEEP OUR FOCUS ON THE HUNT AND NOT BE WASTING TIME SHUFFLING THROUGH EMAILS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE SOUND DOCUMENTATION OF THE PARTICULAR MISBEHAVIOR BEING REPORTED.
We already know that the site drudgereport originally linked to, http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/ data/ 2006/ 06/ 25/ 20060625_183801.htm
at the Arizona star, has not changed their page, though I a significant editor there sent me an email saying it would be changed as soon as it was proven false. This is the kind of stuff that will be very helpful.
Sending links to sites as you found them, is useless. You must do a “save as” of the page, or a FULL SCREEN CAPTURE OF THAT PAGE. You’d be surprised at how stuff on a particular page you think is insignificant, is not. Get all that you can.
Here’s what to do with your evidence. Create an email with your evidence and commentary of what you’ve found, and attached files of your the related screen captures/cache files, then email them … to yourself. This will give you a tidy package to forward to us. We will have an email address for you to send these to in a few days. When we do, I will publish that all over the blog space.
The game’s afoot. (”pin the tail on the donkey”)
