Audacity of Truth
Rep. Murtha steps in it again
First, there was the without-merit accusation that “… it looks like it’s the policy of our troops to do something like this” he made in response to the allegations that several Marines deliberately shot and killed 24 innocent civilians in Haditha in November 2005. This is a position he hasn’t backed down on, even though the charges against all seven of the eight Marines charged have been dismissed (Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich is expected to be court martialed in the fall).
Now, Murtha is at it again, this time in a recent interview with KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh. The article, I should note, doesn’t include the full quote (strangely enough) but Gateway Pundit has the video and transcript of the full interview, which includes the disparaging comment he made about our troops in context of being asked about whether or not the surge was working:
Murtha: I think the short term it has reduced incidents. I’m not sure if it’s because the Iraqis are just worn out but certainly the way they are doing it today it makes a big difference. It used to be we broke down doors. We went in and we killed people inadvertantly. Now they’re much more careful about it.
Here’s the video – he makes the comment within the first couple of minutes of the segment:
Disgraceful.
Wanna help try and drum Murtha out of office this fall? His Republican challenger is Lt. Col. Bill Russell, and he could use your help.

I, my, me…Murtha! You sir, are a pimple on the ass of disdain, you arrogant pompous POFS! FOAD already, so America has cause to celebrate and have another National holiday!
Bligh me, what a frickin douche nozzle he has degenerated into!
There’s not much more I can add!!! Not much gray area in that comment! I love it!
How people keep voting Murtha into office is absolutely extraordinary.
NC, to quote a comedian I like (Ron White), “You can’t fix Stupid.”
Thanks for your post on this story and your link to the Vet4Russell. I cross-posted it on Vets4Russell at [this link].
As the author of Vets4Russell, I appreciate that we have received visitors from your site and some have joined the Roll Call Against Murtha. Although I am supporting LtCol William Russell to defeat Murtha, the “King of Pork” who has besmirched American Iraq veterans, if the PA voters error in making the better choice of Russell in November, the “Roll Call Against Murtha” will continue!
I noted many of my friends and fellow bloggers on your list of US Bloggers. I hope we can exchange links — let me know if you will link to the ARRA News Service.

Thanks for your work Dr. Smith and GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Sadly, one can grow old waiting for Murtha to deliver a long-overdue public apology to the Marines he smeared.
It’s just sad that the democrats feel that good news out of Iraq is a horrible thing. Can they not just acknowledge that the surge is working and things ARE improving?!!
I guess that’s what happens when you make a deal with the extreme left. You must guarantee a defeat at all costs!!
