Did you know that Murtha (D PA)
by Horace2

just got back from visiting Iraq? Yeah!

I didn't until I caught him on TV today telling one and all just how the Surge is working, just how wonderful a job our brave men and women in harms way have done

I'm surprised that we didn't see a photo op, one in which Congressman Murtha (D PA) did a meet and great with these great men and women.

Or was it that the Man who called our Marines Cold Blooded Murderers not to long ago figured that in his case discretion is the better part of valor and a quick in and out was the safest way to go?

You think?

our armed forces vs poorly eqipped tribesman...he said militarily the surge is working,where we send lots of soldiers the Iraqi's fall back...but the problem is that the Iraqi government is doing absolutely nothing to prepare for the day they have to be in charge.He said Patraeus and all the other commanders there agreed with that position.

hell to doubt your word but your story sounds so queer as the saying goes.

For example:

1. You have placed no quotes around any of your words.

2. Murtha never said one word that I heard about "poorly equipped tribesman" I think that this remark is entirely a figment of your imagination. Specifically, for some time now the Sunni "tribesmen" have been working with our marines to destroy al Qaeda. But the slaughter continued in Baghdad where Shia trained and armed by Iran with the most sophisticated mines were blowing up the city, chopping off various heads etc. No tribesmen these city folk. And now these city Sunni and Shia have stopped the butchering, enough that Murtha was able to notice the change...Murtha did get out of the Green Zone, did he Choices? Eh?

3. Yes, Murtha is now making these claims today about Iraq's government But YESTERDAY, Murtha was talking only about the surge success. Pelosi got to him today, you think?

4. Can you give us a link to the He said Patraeus and all the other commanders there agreed with that position

Frankly I do not believe that Murtha said Patraeus and all the other commanders there agreed with that position. Are talking about a Murtha meeting with that General and a few of his subordinates for example?

No Choices, I believe that your response is a figment of a vivid imagination...yours.

I think.

Re: It's the position he took on Hardball tonight.

Our army is the finest in the world,he said...where they are sent to a region,the resistance retreats he said that,the Iraqi Government is doing nothing,he said that,the commanders on the ground agreed with him and bemoaned the Iraqi Government's lack of involvement including General Patraeus,he said that.

I didn't know that one has to have direct quotes to summerize an entire lengthy interview...and he made statements about the political failure YESTERDAY too,they were just left out of the Fox news Highlights and the Republican spin...

I'm not sure what your problem is with me,but I have a reputation in here for fairness,honesty and even supporting some Republicans...you're barking up the wrong tree.

Ask who asked in War Stories that there be a stop to the disrespect being paid to Reagan when he passed ?

You are way behind the news.

Murtha also said,"There has been no Political success at all and that is what needs to be done!

Of course he spoke of our brave men and women on the battlefield. He knows what war is like for the Military,unlike the draft dodging cowards who lie them into waar.

If Rumsfeld had done this 4 years ago,they would be home now.

Takes a mighty small man to find fault with others typing.One reason no one pays any attention to you on this board.We are all friends,accept each other,not nit pick.

Choices,(Masterjay),is one of out nicest posters,so live with it!

by MasterJay

accurate and your's was only half of what he said.The same thing that news station did,leaving out half his quotes...

Let's forgive,forget and just continue to reasonably discuss the issues without insinuating either one of us is lying ?

Whatcha say...agreed ?

MasterJay/choices

choices, if you cannot use quoted then
by Horace2

give us a bloody link! A date, time, TV station, whatever

I heard that bastard say "Do you believe the Pentagon" in response to a question about the surge working.

I latter heard him say that "the surge is working" after he returned from visiting Iraq just now.

Next day after he pissed off Pelosi (andectodal news) he began his qualifications re the surge is working but...

Choices, for the last year or more Murtha has bad mouthed the military and the Bush Administration and has been a leader in the House attempts to stop funding our troops in harms way. Fact! No matter how that fact may offend your sense of fairness, it is a fact!

Your baloney slicing is too thick, lady

My top post dealt with Day One.

On Day Two after Murtha pissed of Pelosi for screwing up the Leftist Line - she had just passed a bill calling for troops to be pulled out of Iraq now, or no more funding money - Murtha then started his crap about Iraq's government

How is it that you Bash Everyone but Murtha who called our marines murderers? How is it that you wave YOUR flag for a Murtha who betrayed our military at the end of the Vietnam War in 1973 just as he has been betraying our men and women in harms way in 2006 and 2007?

Who writes your material, wulk? You are bogus.
