“No One Should Ever Call Murtha a Marine Again”

The title of this post is a direct quote from Curt of Flopping Aces, a retired Marine. I was never in the Marine Corps, but having known a number of former Marines I can state categorically that Marines do NOT sell their nation or their Corps down the river. Curt and others in the blogosphere have rightly pointed out that the Marines are still investigating the alleged incident and that in America one is considered innocent until PROVEN guilty. That proof does not mean another liberal article in Time Magazine, the intellectual equivalent of the Weekly Reader for high school children. Flopping Aces also went back to the original Time article to point out the allegation of this alleged Marine atrocity is largely based on one witness, a nine year old Iraqi girl. The little girl in question never saw an American and she initially assumed that her family was killed by the Iraqi soldiers who entered her house after the killing stopped. It was an Iraqi soldiers who told this little girl that “(w)e didn’t do it, the Americans did.”

Murtha is likely selling out our nation and the Marine Corps in order to get his visage on television once again. His comments are endangering Americans. Those American Marines and soldiers who Murtha is selling down the river are the very same ones who he insists that he is helping. Some help. Like all Americans they deserve the assumption of innocence, especially when the investigation is still ongoing.

Murtha is running for his seat again this fall against Diana Irey, who is somewhat of a hottie. She needs and deserves the support (financial and otherwise) of actual patriotic Americans; as opposed to Murtha and his crew.

In addition to Flying Aces this story is being covered by
the Gateway Pundit.

The Marine slogan is Semper Fi. To Mr. Murtha I say – Vado ut Hades!
