John MurthaPennsylvania Representative John The Saboteur™ Murtha still trying to surrender. I guess he’ll be trying to find a way to surrender right up until we completely defeat our enemies. As Butch, at 123Beta says, its one of the many reasons I despise the man. Butch said it better than that though.

Murtha is chairman of House Appropriations defense subcommittee and declares, “We can’t win militarily.”

How despicable is that??? Chairman of the House defense subcommittees for appropriations and he declares that the United States is INCAPABLE OF WINNING A WAR AGAINST A BUNCH OF INSURGENTS!!!!

House Democrats’ point man in the war-funding showdown with the White House today dismissed U.S. military gains in Iraq and vowed to tighten the purse strings until President Bush accepts a pullout plan.

So this disgrace to our country says he admits we are winning, but since he’s in charge of the purse strings he’s going to deny funding for our Soldiers.

This shouldn’t surprise us considering he was willing to hang some Marines out to dry and accuse them of murder just so he could get more national attention in his hopes of being named majority leader. As usual, everything he says and does is about him and how it will get him what he wants. Its not about what’s best for our country.

The dim view of U.S. military progress in Iraq and a resolve to force a pullout have been echoed by the two top Democrats on Capitol Hill - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California.

The funding standoff will force the Pentagon to make budget cuts at bases in the U.S. to cover the costs of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, including sending furlough notices to as many as 100,000 civilian employees, White House press secretary Dana Perino said.

So, in order to further their own careers and cater to the lowest common denominator of their constituencies, they are willing to put people out of work, substantially weaken the United States military and further endanger our Troops! John Murtha has blood on his hands. He has the blood of our Troops and the Pendleton 8 Marines in particular on his hands.

Is this really what the people of Pennsylvania expect from their Representative? Is this how the people of Pennsylvania feel? Do they want a weaker America? Do they want an America that turns tail and runs from a bunch of hoodlums?

Does John Murtha REALLY represent the people of Pennsylvania?

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone know of any other time that Congress has threatened to cut funding to and reduce the size of our military during a time of war? Its almost unbelievable to me that they would play these kinds of games while our military is actively engaged in conflict.

More about John Murtha.

Yid with Lid says Murtha is dumb as toast.

The Hot Joints says that apparently Murtha hasn’t been able to find any Marines to accuse of murder today. John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, represent a trifecta of stupid.

Wake Up America offers some alternatives to Murtha.

And the political games heat up as pointed out at Hot Air and here.
