Murtha is 100% right and more heroic and pro-Marine in his little finger than all major rightwinger leaders put together. Murtha is a 35 year Marine veteran who has the trust of the Pentagon and the Corps. Bush-Cheney do not.

When Murtha speaks you'd better listen. We have a new My Lai Massacre in Iraq now and it's gonna cost us. The cover-up is also worse than the crime. This also reminds us that John Kerry was telling the 100% truth in 1971 when he warned our leaders that the atrocities being committed in Vietnam were proof that the war and civilians leadership had gone all wrong.

Defending the Iraq War or Vietnam War is dishonest. They are both huge disasterous self-defeating mistakes based on lies, but our troops were the heros in both cases. The mistakes and lies of LBJ, Nixon and Bush-Cheney are not the troops' fault. In fact they are the real victims. Listen to Murtha and Kerry. They know best. Not a single rightwing leader has ever served in combat, but Murtha and Kerry have, in spades.

You may be 100% right about Murtha. Current history is sprinkled liberally with Democrats whose aids will not let them fade away, so they pump them full of ridiculous speeches and use their reputations for years. Besides Murtha, Teddy would be a prime example of this.

Stop smearing Murtha. He's 100% right and our government's top expert and confidant of the Marine Corps, which is taking the bulk of the casualties over there.

If you don't know how honest and right Murtha is, you should learn. Just watch BAGHDAD ER for the reality of the war, not the Bushie-Hannity-Limbaugh spin.

There is no real "good news" from Iraq anymore. It's getting worse over there, not better, and our troops are totally stressed out, beleaguered and now blowing their tops and mowing down civilians. That's a huge warning sign. Same as the My Lai massacre. It means we're in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong things. It means this war should end. But like Nixon, Bush is too arrogant to admit he was wrong or defeated, so he will keep getting our troops killed and wounded senselessly.
