Murtha missionaries Just in time for the 2006 midterm elections, we learn that supporters of the 2004 Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against Sen. John Kerry are starting "Murtha Lied" -- with a Web site "and all the accouterments of a hotshot political campaign," says the guiding force, retired Navy SEAL Capt. Larry W. Bailey of North Carolina. Capt. Bailey informs fellow veterans in a memo we obtained that he's just opened a bank account in the name of "Vets for Truth," as "we're going to need enough money to send our Operation Street Corner 'missionaries' into Rep. John Murtha's home district in Pennsylvania." Mr. Murtha, a veteran of the Marine Corps who has served more than 35 years in the House, has been the most outspoken member in Congress against U.S. war policy in Iraq. Keep an eye out for the veteran group's launch at www.murthalied.com.

Murtha's remarks The U.S. presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, Rep. John P. Murtha told an audience of more than 200 in North Miami on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat, was the guest speaker at a town-hall meeting organized by Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, Florida Democrat, at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus in Miami. Mr. Meek's mother, former Rep. Carrie Meek, Florida Democrat, also was on the panel, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. Mr. Murtha reiterated his views that the war cannot be won militarily and needs political solutions. He said the more than 100,000 troops in Iraq should be pulled out immediately and deployed to peripheral countries such as Kuwait. "We do not want permanent bases in Iraq," Mr. Murtha said. "We want as many Americans out of there as possible."
