Here is something else for you to chew on:

> A FAX SENT TO MURTHA
>
> Representative John Murtha
> P.O. Box 780
> Johnstown, PA 15907
>
> Representative Murtha:
>
> During the dark days of the American Revolution the Commanding General,
> George Washington seemed unable to win any victories. There were
> wholesale desertions, troops were starving, the fledgling government was
sporadic
> with money, food and ammunition in short supply. Out of this darkness
emerged
> a genuine American Hero.
> This officer brilliantly led his troops in combat and though seriously,
> and almost mortally wounded, won victory after victory for the desperate
and
> beleaguered American Continental Army.
>
> After helping to turn the tide of war in the favor of the
Americans, this officer's
> fame grew as did his prestige, but his prowess on the battlefield, his
courage under fire
> and indeed all of his life, is forgotten because of one act. His name is
now synonymous
> with "traitor" in the dictionary. General Benedict Arnold, like you, had
a brilliant military
> career of courage, honor, and sacrifice. Like you, in my opinion, he was
a traitor to his
> country and to his oath as an American soldier. It is indeed fitting that
you are member
> of the same political party as another traitor and seditionist, former
Lieutenant John
> Kerry USN, who betrayed his country, not only on the very floor of the
House of Representatives
> that you now serve, but also, secretly, in the presence of our enemies in
Paris, France.
>
> Unlike you, he is a self proclaimed warrior and you earned your
decorations, but the pair
> of you forgot one important thing. The United States of America and indeed
the world are at war.
> We are at war with an implacable enemy. An enemy of racist, bigoted
fanatics whose sole goal in
> life is to destroy the people of the United States of America, their
culture and their religion. More
> American civilians have died on U.S. soil in this war than died in World
War I, World War II, Korea,
> Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and Desert Storm put together.
>
> We are at war, Representative Murtha, and your actions and
conduct give aid and comfort
> to our enemies. Just in case you have forgotten the definition of treason
and sedition, I have attached
> Webster's definition as Tabs A and B to this letter.
>
> A wise man once said, "There are no former Marines, only dead Marines."
> He was wrong. You are not a Marine. You have lost the right to use that
title. You have dishonored
> all of those who have fought and died up to the day you stood on the floor
of the House of Representatives
> and demanded that we withdraw immediately. You lied to the press, when
you said you did not make that
> statement. I watched you make that statement. Albeit your Bill,
submitted, which I have also read, added
> a caveat, "as soon as practicable."
> That is pure horseshit and you know it. Yes, Representative Murtha, you
have given aid and comfort to our
> enemies in a time of war. You have given them hope, which they have fast
been loosing, due to all of the victories
> and sacrifice by our sons and daughters on the field of battle in Iraq
and Afghanistan. You have been honored
> by our enemies on the front page of Al Jazeera.
>
> No, Representative Murtha, you are no longer a Marine. Your soul is dead.
> Your honor is dead, and without a soul or honor, you are nothing.
>
> Be advised, my son is a Marine Officer. He has commanded men in battle
through two (2) tours and he is due
> to return to Iraq on a third tour. If he should be harmed in any way as a
result of your actions on the floor
> of the House this week, I will do everything in my power to see to it that
you are driven from office and that
> you are charged and tried for treason and sedition.
>
> The Marine Officer whose message was read on the House Floor by fellow
member of Congress, Jean Schmidt, was
> right. You are a coward. Marines do not cut and run.
>
> Fortunately, your obesity prevents you from wearing your Marine Uniform
with even a semblance of pride, but I know
> your face. If I am in a room when you arrive, you will not enter. If you
are in a room, when I arrive, you will leave.
> It is as simple as that.

> OUT.

How come there is no mention of the support the NY Times gave to the invasion and early weeks in Iraq. The Times tries to tell all , even if they got it very wrong on Iraq and held up the spy news until after the 2004 election.
