Earth To Murtha

I just had the misfortune of watching this. Thanks as always to the Political Teen for pouring this video bilge into our blessedly TV free home.

In this segment of Face The Nation Rep. Murtha manages to increase the noxious stench surrounding his person these days. I know this guy is a Vet, and I am loath to go after a vet, but this crap has got to stop.

After wedging his fat ass into one of the cushy chairs Mr. Murtha took us on a fun house ride in his green skied world.

Schieffer pontificated that Murtha did not want to "cut and run." Murtha advocated that "we withdraw, that we redeploy to the surrounding area." We'll need only 50,000 troops for the mission, he said.

Schieffer mocked the statement: "The minute we leaves, al Qaeda wins." Murtha said that most Iraqis want us to leave, that we're the enemy, that we should withdraw "to the surrounding area." Murtha argued we "can't do nation building," that we "can't police the world." Murtha complained about the cost of the war. "They're broken…. The Army is stretched too thin."

Our Army is not broken Mr. Murtha. Only your will has been broken, and I think you will find yourself harshly judged by history sir. As to the cost of the war, what price freedom sir? The amounts you pussilanimous democrats are whining about are nothing to us sir, nothing.

The 'redeployment'. This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Yes, let's take troops from a place they can be effective and move them out of both harms, and effectiveness range, how Clintonian sir. Only a true Democrat would suggest something this dense. Our troops aren't asking for safety sir, thier asking to win, in spite of folks just like you.

Murtha pointed out that he had just read in David McCullough's book 1776 that France helped us win the Revolutionary War but did not stick around "to tell us how to run the country."

Though I have a love of history, I must be a little rusty on this one. Remind me, was America under the rule of a bloodthirsty tyrant before the revolution? I must have missed a day in history class somewhere.

This is a apples and oranges argument of the true asshat. America was built on people weaned in Democracy, Iraq, not so much. Too compare the two sir, is at best stupid, at worst, a flat out dishonest, which is it?

Murtha admitted that removing Saddam "turned out to be a good thing," but now we have to change course. He insisted that the people of Pakistan were better off after the Earthquake than are people in New Orleans.

(...)

I am truly starting to loathe this guy, but, while watching this video my wife and I had an intereesting thought. Mr. Murtha along with being a treasonous snake is something like a million years old. I wonder if he's pursuing this asshattedness, a falling on the sword, if you will, to pursue some other agenda? Offering himself to run this gauntlet and then retire to the old asshat farm.

All his bleating about 'most Americans' support him, and, unnamed 'people in the military' tell him how bad it really is, I think it's a smokescreen. A smokescreen to make someone else look good perhaps, failing that, I think he's certifiable.

Or a typical Democrat?
