“No One Should Ever Call Murtha a Marine Again” #2

This post’s title is a quote taken from this post by Curt of Flopping Aces and was used as the title of this Flying Debris post. The retired Marine Colonel and now Democratic Congressman Murtha was on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday and by all accounts the man made a complete ass of himself. Mr. Murtha showed that if he is actually being serious that he really is not very sharp. In some of his past whining Murtha has strangely suggested that US troops could be deployed over some hill in the Middle East, or sand dune as the case as be. It was strangely ignorant of Murtha to even suggest such a thing without even having a clue as to where we could possibly re-deploy our troops to. Congressman Murtha seemed ignorant of geo-politics of the region, as did his supporters. Yesterday Murtha went “off the meds” and suggested that we re-deploy our troops to Okinawa, somebody should’ve clued Mr. Murtha in that we are taking our troops out of Okinawa due to frictions between our troops and the local Japanese citizenry during the past 60 years; those troops are moving to Guam. The old coot may as well have sputtered that we should re-deploy our troops to Lawrence Kansas. We keep hearing about how Congressman Murtha is a retired Marine Colonel who was decorated during the Vietnam War; with strategic thinking like Murtha’s it is no wonder that we lost the war.

Once again, here is a link to Murtha’s opponent Diana Irey, she deserves the support of serious Americans.


Powerline has some thoughts on Murtha’s appearance along with a world map to help Murtha’s supporters.

As usual the Gateway Pundit has an extensive piece including the entire video interview from Murtha’s appearance on Meet the Press.
