Rep. Murtha Dead at 77

[Bobcat]

'On Capitol Hill , Murtha was seen as speaking for those in uniform when it came to military matters " .
I guess you mean like when he called Marines " cold blooded killers " ? ... Outside the Beltway , May , 2006 .
Murtha also said " It`s much worse than was reported in Time Magazine " . " There was no firefight . There was no [ bomb] that killed those Iraqi " .
Per a Marine Corps spokesman " I don`t know where Rep. Murtha is obtaining his information " .
Murtha was a senior member of the Armed Forces Committee and had access to all the information he needed , but he still came out with this statement .
He also made the statement " the war was lost " . Sure sounds like a supported of the Marines to me .... and yes , the charges were untrue .

I am guessing Murtha will not be well recieved here. BYT, no war goes as "advertized" or planned. Murtha's calling soldiers "cold blooded killers" was shamefull at best. And AbScam? How he got away with that will never be known.

Lets hope a conservative replaces him. I think, if left to the voters, that will happen.
