Is John Murtha Pressuring The Navy Into Getting At Least One Conviction Out Of Haditha Debacle? (Say Anything)

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:24:58 GMT

... proclaiming them “cold blooded killers.” Ah yes, that would be the reigning Prince of Pork, John Murtha. Think about it, with a single conviction of any one of the Marines charged, Murtha can claim vindication and use that conviction as an effective defense against any defamation suits from any of the other defendants. This accusation really shouldn’t be leveled at Murtha...

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:36:21 GMT

After all has been said and done, it turns out the only atrocity relating to Haditha was that committed by the media and politicians like John Murtha : The New York Times referred to the deaths of as many as 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha as the "defining atrocity" of the Iraq War. If so, then the Iraq War must be particularly unatrocious. After all, of the eight people charged...

Does Obama Still Agree with Murtha on Haditha? (YID With LID)

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:36:40 GMT

John Murtha is isn't the only villain in the Haditha slander. Certainly Time magazine reporter Tim McGurk, who wrote that the Marines were guilty of "massacring innocent civilians." and the LA Times who called it the Iraqi My Lai. Ever wonder what Senator Obama said about Haditha? After all, the guy wants to be commander-in-chief of the military. Senator Obama showed his usual lack of...

John Murtha, Democrat Tool and Marine Disgrace (Strong As An Ox And Nearly As Smart)

noreply@blogger.com (Major Combs) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:57:00 GMT

John Murtha, the closest thing the Democrats have to a military expert (I noted two years ago that as dumb as he is, Murtha's still the best Democrat military mind ), once again makes me wonder how this fat, disloyal, politically opportunistic loudmouth can claim to be a Marine (or to even claim a military background). Marines who served with Murtha in Vietnam have questioned...
