Murtha Can’t Keep His Mouth Shut

Loading

Can you freakin believe Murtha? He was on TV this afternoon and had the gall, the unbelievable gall to say Clinton running from Somalia was a good thing. Reagan running from Beirut was a good thing.

Transcript:

MURTHA: 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 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.

As Steve Spruiell writes, Osama Bin Laden learned a great deal from Somalia and the cowardly way that Clinton conducted it:

“After leaving Afghanistan, the Muslim fighters headed for Somalia and prepared for a long battle, thinking that the Americans were like the Russians,” bin Laden said. “The youth were surprised at the low morale of the American soldiers and realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat. And America forgot all the hoopla and media propaganda … about being the world leader and the leader of the New World Order, and after a few blows they forgot about this title and left, dragging their corpses and their shameful defeat.”

What an unbelievable moron this guy has turned out to be, and dangerous. Running from those fights did more to enbolden Al-Qaeda then anything and he thinks that is a good thing. Typical Vietnam hippie.

He tells us that our army is broken and beaten, failing to do it’s duty, and murdering innocent people. Not recognizing the fact that what we have accomplished is amazing. We invaded and deposed a brutal dictator, set up a Democracy that has had 3 successful elections, all the while defeating Al-Qaeda on their own turf, with only 2500 lost. That is an incredibly low number compared to other wars. Every loss is sad and I feel for their families but think about it, an amazing feat by the best military in the world.

But all he does is belittle and accuse our soldiers, their mission, and their Commander In Chief.

Then he proceeds to tell us HIS plan, retreating to some distant shore until Iraq falls apart again and then maybe go in again.

WTF!

Oh, btw Ex-Marine Murtha, 80% want our troops out eventually….not NOW! Stop the spinning.

Added – Please support Murtha’s challenger, Diana Irey, anyway you can. You may not be in her district but sending a few bucks will help send this embarrassment to my Marine Corps packing. Vets4Irey has a wonderful website.

You know, I don’t know WHAT Murtha did in Vietnam and I don’t care! He used up any “respect” he might have had several decades ago! He needs to STFU and get the hell out of the way. Period.

I honestly don’t think I have ever seen anyone in politics that gets me so angry whenever they say something. (well, maybe Jimmy Carter did) This man is a disgrace to the House of Representatives and if he is an accurate representation of the people in his district of Pennsylvania, could we somehow vote to kick that district out of the USA?
