Murtha Hopes Someone Will Take Him Seriously ~ He Is a Fool!

RNC: Murtha’s Iraq Plan: More Pessimism, No Solutions
From the The 9/11 Commission Report, 7/22/04

Murtha Claims Iraq Is In A Civil War And Promotes Pessimism:
Rep Murtha: “We’re caught in a civil war. … Then they said it’s not a civil war. It is a civil war.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press, 3/19/06)
Rep. Murtha: “They said we’re going to have 75% of the country controlled by the Iraqis. I flew for an hour and 15 minutes over desert, and there wasn’t a soul …” (NBC’s “Meet The Press, 3/19/06)
Rep. Murtha: “I don’t see the progress that they’re portraying, and I don’t understand how they can continue to say that.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 3/19/06)
US Generals On The Ground Disagree With Rep. Murtha; Call Progress “Breathtaking” And “Amazing”:
Commander Of Multinational Forces In Iraq, Gen. George Casey Notes Positive Stories That Most People Haven’t Heard About Iraq. “There’s a lot of bustle here… in Baghdad. There’s a lot of economic activity, storefronts crowded, goods stacked up on the street. And the traffic cops were wearing white shirts and neckties, not armored vests. So there’s a lot here that I don’t think people back in the United States get to see, and it’s probably difficult for them to feel the optimism that myself and my subordinate leaders and my members of the armed forces feel about the possibilities here in Iraq.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 3/19/06
Commander, Central Command General John Abizaid: “[I] would say is that the growth of the Iraqi Security Forces, in particular, and the Army, in particular, has been nothing short of breathtaking.” (Gen. John Abizaid, Committee On Appropriations, U.S. Senate, Testimony, 3/9/06)
Commander, Multinational Corps Iraq, Lieutenant General Peter Chiarelli: “In the days immediately following the Samarra bombing, the press was actively tracking and reporting every single mosque attack, but the vast majority of the reporting was off the mark.” (Lt. Gen. Peter Chiarelli, Press Conference, 3/17/06

Wild Thing’s comment…..
Murtha as usual is full of it. If he wants to say his BS at a cocktail party fine, but to say it on TV for all the world to see and hear then it ticks me off and the zombies then go out and push his propaganda.
