In his never ending quest to "support our troops.."

...Murtha never stops bashing them, nor their mission; and in doing so supplys a level of aid and comfort not known by our enemies since Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally hit the airwaves in WWII, or even since Hanoi Jane parked her ass behind a Viet-Kong gun turret.

At a fundraiser for Mr. "Earth- in- the- lurch- we- only- have- ten- more- years- til- environmental-
armageddon!" Algore (who, by the way, failed to carry his own state in 2000), Murtha continues with his diatribe:

"I said a year ago we couldn't win this militarily, and they (Republicans) attacked me," said the Pennsylvania Democrat, a decorated Vietnam veteran and military hawk,

Again, military "hawks" don't advocate for a cut and run policy, the results of which serve to embolden our enemies! From OBL's very mouth:

Describe the situation when your men took down the American forces in Somalia:
"After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. ... As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger."

Surely Murtha knows this. Yet he continues to "support our troops" by advocating that they surrender in Iraq? Murtha has yet to answer to or even be confronted with this reality..

The article continues...

(Murtha) has become the face of the Democrats' anti-war movement (read: surrender movement--ed) since he called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops last fall.

Said Murtha:

"We want somebody to stop this president, to change the direction of this country," he said. "When we went to war, (the administration) said there would be weapons of mass destruction. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There are no weapons of mass destruction, even though some people in Washington still believe it."

Murtha, being the useful idiot that he is, continues to perpetuate one of the greatest myths ever to come down the pike. But lets not let the truth get in the way of your damaging our troops' morale and emboldening their enemies, eh Jack?

This comment by Tennessee's Republican Party says it all:

"Murtha is just another liberal Democrat who's repeatedly voted against tax relief, strongly advocates surrender in Iraq and has continually voted against laws that help keep our nation more secure," Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Bob Davis said Saturday in a released statement.

Citizens of PA-12: John Murtha, during a time of war; a time of unbelievable perils facing us by enemies who very literally want us dead, does a man who continually undermines our efforts to remain safe, and continually emboldens our enemies with his rhetoric, really deserve your vote?
