Murtha: I Support the Troops

Friday, Rep John Murtha declared that he supported the US troops by wishing for their swift deaths. Our troops are living in the laps of luxury in Iraq. Forget the hundreds of thousand that live in tents for up to 12 months at a time. Forget the thousands who would give anything for a real bed. Murtha says that's not true. To him, our guys and gals are all living in the luxury of Saddam's palaces. Murtha claims not to begrudge these brave men and women, but... There is always a butt.

Rep Murtha says that it is deplorable that our troops live in luxury while just outside the palace gates Iraqis are living without electricity. Never mind that the neighborhoods that he's talking about have NEVER had electricity. Never mind that the few hundred troops that are living on the palace compound are living in barracks of former guards and the actual palace buildings are used for command and control office space. That's a real inconvenient truth.

What is Rep Mutha's solution to right this horrible inequity? He proposes to kill our troops by denying them the very thing that they need most, more help. By placing a litany of red herring conditions on the funding for the troop deployment, Ex-Marine Murtha paints a target on troops who are already in harm's way. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Murtha is a typical anti-war, anti-military, unindicted co-conspirator. Murtha has lined up the firing squad and called, "Ready! Aim! Fire!" at our troops. Brit Hume is right. John Murtha has lost touch with what is going on in the world. The sad fact is that he is the cheerleader for a chorus of shrill democrat sirens that want the military humiliated whatever the cost and they are willing to say and do anything to achieve that end. May Rep Murtha experience the same gratitude that he shows the Americans serving overseas in the lap of luxury.
