[...] Those transmissions appear to be the only hard evidence of what happened immediately after the IED went off, when most of the killing occurred. (The video drone didn’t get there until later.) The Marines’ lawyers insist they took fire from homes along the street, which is why they went in with guns blazing. The Times’s article about Haditha on June 17th quoted one soldier who was nearby at the time as questioning that. [...]

Murtha’s Audience reduced by FBI…

The traitorous coward and defeatist appeaser Murtha says U.S. poses top threat to world peace. I suppose if we had not gone to Iraq then Israel and Hamas would have signed a peace accord by now, al Qaeda would have peacefully disbanded without Iraq’s….

Bonfire of the Insanities, Reloaded…

Look, though, how defensive Congressman Haw-Haw became at a single sharp opposition rebuke. I don’t know if it’s the religious nature of al Donka extremism or Karl The Great’s unique penchant for sending lefties into orbit, but this is a man whose i…

[...] Blackfive writes: Now from the NRO Media Blog via Allah comes this gem from a CNN interview: MURTHA: … And I said over and over in debate, if you listen to any of it, in Beirut President Reagan changed direction, in Somalia President Clinton changed direction, and yet here, with the troops out there every day, suffering from these explosive devices, and being looked at as occupiers — 80 percent of the people want us out of there — and yet they continue to say, “We’re fighting this thing.” We’re not fighting this. The troops are fighting this thing. That’s who’s doing the fighting. [...]

The thing that disturbed me and worries me about this whole thing is we can’t get them to change direction. And I said over and over in debate, if you listen to any of it, in Beirut President Reagan……

Like Somalia? Black Hawk Down, corpse dragged though town Somalia???? That deserves its own post. There is no way in blue hell that this terror-appeasing Carterite clown could have ever been a United States Marine.

Somalia, yeah, great idea bonehead. Even bin laden says Klintoon’s pullout of Somalia is what gave him the silly notion that America was a paper tiger and would not retaliate against al-qaeda.

Who voted for this moron?

I’ve lost all respect for Murtha. He may be a war hero, but he forgot his place in history and turned his back on the Marine Corp. that he served and has stepped into the viper den of the anti-war, anti-american left. He’s become a 5th columnist. It’s time for the people of Pennsylvania to rethink their voting decision on this piece of filth.

Today Murtha was ranting on the floor of the Senate about….(drum roll) the numbers of Iraqi and American Deaths, by day and by month. Numbers, which are HIGHER BECAUSE OF MURTHA’S MOUTH. I wanted to slap the prick. He spoke with such venom, and he being a huge part of the problem. Disgusting.
Murtha is the worst American I know of today, just slightly lower than Lt. Watada. I kid you not.

If General Michael Hagee has told Murtha the content of the report, and he has no reason to say anything different, Murtha’s comments to the news media differed substantially from what’s in the official reports.

I guess you can figure out what is the “truth”.

“…leading Democratic spokesman on military matters”

Aren’t all the Democratic men leading spokesman on military matters? And what about the Democratic women?

By the way, does anyone know, is there even one woman, Dem or GOP, in Congress who served in the military?

Did Murtha lie? Only he knows. But Murtha is certainly a victim of “Kerryism.” You know, that dreaded disease that politicians contract when they’re seeking notoriety, which invariably manifests itself with an affliction called diarrhea of the mouth.

First Murtha called for a “surrender” in Iraq. Then, Murtha, like Kerry, used his position and a yet unproven “incident” to slander Marines in an attempt to further his political stature. Murtha is a despicable person and neither an apology nor recriminations can erase the damage he’s done.

Let us hope the Marines will be exonerated of all (not yet pressed) charges and Murtha relegated to status of John “WHO?”

War hero, BAH! Murtha is a despicable opportunist and like mainstream media’s apologies, if he is wrong, his will appear on page 419C, section 41, the sewing section.
