Murtha's
Truth deficit disorder
[EXCERPTS:]
Murtha claimed that U.S. Marines committed "cold-blooded" murder even
before they were tried by a court. I find it nice to see him parade a
veteran who was wounded in a training exercise (who many think was
wounded in combat) such as Cleland, who thankfully was soundly
defeated by Saxby Chambliss.
I used to be a Republican supporter of Jack Murtha before he began
suffering from truth deficit disorder, which seems to affect many
Democrats who spend far too much time in Washington....

Murtha's Dodge
The hypocrisy and double standards of U.S. Rep. John Murtha were
revealed again on July 24 in an article headlined, "Murtha renews call
for Iraq pullout deadline." He forgets it's not New Hampshire he
represents.
Regarding the Iraq war, Portsmouth state Rep. Terie Norelli, a
Democrat, stated, "At least we are having this conversation." She
projects upon the Republicans the very fault Murtha has actually
demonstrated over and over again, falsely stating that "Republicans
don't want to have the conversation." Murtha is talking about Iraq --
more precisely about America's surrender.
Remember, just as Murtha emboldened Islamic terrorists when he
unwisely urged President Clinton to surrender and leave Somalia in
1993, so too does his current rhetoric embolden terrorists.
Murtha feared open debate with his Republican challenger, Bill Choby,
during the last several elections. In 2002, he cowered in the shadows
and would not debate then U.S. Rep. Frank Mascara, a Democrat, who was
pitted against Murtha in the primary after the legislature's
reapportionment.
For political survival, Murtha hides behind his defeatist-surrender
because of [*see NOTE below] sycophants, kid-gloved media and
inept, pork-dependent state and county Republicans. The press has a
responsibility to demand Murtha debate his Republican opponent Diana
Irey of Washington County.

Murtha's missing 'achievements' II
[EXCERPTS:]
Congressman John Murtha served our country with honor during an
unpopular war and during peace.
But something has fundamentally changed in the congressman. Murtha's
recent conduct does not strive for honor, nor is it honorable....

Murtha's missing 'achievements'
[EXCERPTS]
In your Sunday Focus magazine that heaped upon U.S. Rep. John Murtha
unwarranted praise ("Murtha's
moment," July 16 and PghTrib.com), there was omitted Murtha's
other achievements that, in my opinion, produce much misery for
America's military men and women in harm's way....
...The hate-America crowd wails "No blood for oil." I say "No blood
for pork." ...

Come home and face us!
[EXCERPTS:]
... What will it take for you and your ilk to get their message? Will
California have to be erased from our map? Will Chicago or New York be
reduced to rubble with bodies and parts strewn about like litter?
Will Washington, D.C., be vaporized into chaos? And why do you hide
outside your district when you make these statements against our
military and our country?
Come home and face us, Mr. Murtha.

Mr. Murtha and the New York Times
[EXCERPTS:]
Many people are not considering the extended impact of Mr. Murtha's
statements over the last few months. Muslim militant propagandists
around the world are posting and sharing his words verbatim - unedited
- and using Murtha's words to encourage one another to greater
exertion on behalf of "The Prophet." ...
As well, Mr. Murtha's words were surely a consideration by the
managers and editors of the New York Times before they revealed yet
another classified operation to the enemies of us all....
