Ecce: Our 21st Century nobility:
JEFF GANNON: In May 2006, you said that Marines killed innocent Iraqis citizens in cold blood at Hatitha. A year later, some of them have been exonerated. At some point are you going to apologize to these men?
REP. MURTHA: The trial
The difference between God and a Congressman is that God doesn’t think he’s a Congressman.
It’s representation like Mr. Murtha that would make people re-think their service in defense of America. Having had two children serve in Iraq, both returned safely, I wonder how safe from persecution they were from the likes of this turkey.
What I want to know is: whatever happened to cheering for the home team? I’m just saying, didn’t these defeatist people cheer for their home team during the school years? What’s changed?
I believe in WINNING!!! Mr. Murtha and his cronies need to have a TOTAL change of attitude, to one of winning, cheering for our own troops, and simply thinking positive.
If they cannot be in favor of our own, he should be replaced!!!
Why doesn’t Mr. Murtha and his ilk give our own service people the benefit of the doubt? It seems to me that’s the least he could do!!!
The really sad thing about this is that Mr. Murtha was once Col. Murtha, USMC. A former DI who rose through the ranks and earned a Bronze Star with “V” and 2 Purple Hearts while serving in Vietnam.
You’d think someone like that would know better. Apparently, he’s forgotten his Latin. You know. Like “Semper Fidelis.”
Murtha is a disgrace to the Marine Corps, Congress, his community and our nation.
Sadly his district benefits plenty from his adeptness at filling it with pork, so the ignorant masses keep re-electing him.
I gave some $$$ to his opponent last eelection and will do so in the future.
He is an enemy of our country, the domestic type.
Whores have no shame. He’ll get his.
What happens when the republic becomes unworthy of defense?
Look at the example of Rome. There is no longer commity in congress…
Murtha may be a Marine (one is never an ex-Marine, I’m told), but like all groups there exist a few that serve only as bad examples. Pay him no mind, his membership in that esteemed group of Marines is not reflective of them as a whole.
“Out. Out. This is an elevator.”
Wow, what courage of conviction. And to immediately top such a deep insight with a chickenhawk argument? Well played, Sir, well played.
PeterGunn said: “…whatever happened to cheering for the home team?”
When the cheering section is blinded by BDS and earmarks, it’s hard for them to see who they are supposed to be supporting.
I’ve also heard that one is never an “ex-Marine” – I would imagine the Corps would happily and most enthusiastically make an exception for Murtha.
He is simply a D.W.E.
The epitome of a swarthy politician of the worst stripe. All I could add is those folks of his district who continue to re-elect him must be of the same quality….

Cap’n,
I wonder if the ‘Honorable’ Mr. Murtha will be invited to celebrate the Corps’ birthday at the Commandant’s Ball? For that matter. does he celebrate it at all?
Every time I hear his name I get a bad taste in my mouth and a bad feeling in my stomache. Then I feel sorry for him and ask myself what wronged him so much to make him turn on his Corps and country.
Truly a sad, sad, little man.
I’d call him a dick if he had one… but since he doesn’t, I guess I’ll just call him an EX-MARINE moonbat pussy-boy.
To all those who shall read this; Greetings.
Know ye that the special trust and bond of brotherhood between Marines has forever been the essence of our esprit de corps.
Know ye that Marines always have and always will watch out for each other from the day we first wear the eagle, globe, and anchor; until we have drawn our last breath, and our hearts lay forever still.
Know ye that it is a bond forged in centuries of blood, sweat and tears wherever we have marched.
Know ye that being forged in such fires is not a trivial matter, and is not forgotten easily.
Know ye that while this bond supports and encourages the noblest of warrior virtue, it breeds the opposite if betrayed.
Let it be known that Colonel Murtha, USMC has so betrayed this bond. He has, for personal gain amongst the lowest of our nation, and in standing with his disreputable new colleagues, undermined the mission that the United States Marine Corps have been ordered to carry out. He has also not only failed to speak up for his brothers dying in foreign lands, he has now gone so far as to condemn them out of hand. He has betrayed his brothers to their enemies, foreign and domestic. He has committed the ultimate sin amongst Marines, he has put himself before the Corps.
Therefore, let it be known to all who may read these words that Colonel Murtha, USMC is disavowed, and is brother to this Marine no more.
So be it, from this day forward, until the end of the Corps.
Semper Fidelis,
ASM826
Sgt. USMC
