Murtha Insults and Ignores General Petraeus

In what some might find to be a disgusting video at Hot Air, Jack ABSCAM Murtha claims that the head of Multinational Forces in Iraq, General David Patraeus is a political hack who talked to the media while in DC, but never addressed law makers.
Oh really? Maybe he should ask the many Democrats, and over 200 law makers, including Dems Hoyer, Levin, and Clyburn, who apparently managed to attend the briefing. I cannot believe Johnstown, PA continues to send this fool back to Congress.

Indeed.

1 Murtha told MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Tuesday, "They bring Petraeus back - purely political move. Petraeus comes back here. He doesn't talk to any of us. He only talks to the news media and so forth trying to sell this program."
A senior Defense Department official told Cybercast News Service that Petraeus personally briefed Murtha and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in an April 24 phone conference that lasted 20-30 minutes.

2 Forget Murtha's military past, it's in the past. The Murtha we have to deal with is the man of the present. Like the other progressivist-socialist fools, he ignores the military, the 'clowns in camo', to get what he wants, which is more power. To do this, the Dems MUST prevent Bush from winning the war. If Bush wins the war, the Dems will lose the next election. The Dems are panicking, because Bush is winning the war.

3 Murtha makes us ex marine so proud. Thought we fragged all of his types in Viet Nam. Guess he slipped thru.

4 I've recently changed my opinion about the dems' motives here. I think it's not about trying to lose the war in order to keep Bush's poll numbers down, but rather to whip up their own base to give more donations to the democrat candidates for 2008. The dems, even nutbags like Murtha, know that if we pull out and a Rwanda type massacre occurs, the dems will be toast in all federal elections for the next 20 years. All these timetable calls amount to is one big bluff, because they kow Bush will veto it, and the nutroot base is buying the whole scam.

Note how we are now seeing, this week - after Bush's veto, articles in the progressive media concluding that an immediate troop withdrawal would actually be a BAD idea. Over the next few months, the dems will switch their tune away from 'run away' into a more moderate "a Democratic president will do a better job of getting the arabs to play nice, and that's the only way we are going to bring our children home".

Mark my words, whoever wins the dem nomination will - at that point in time - expressly oppose an immediate troop withdrawal. And the media will let their crass political maneuvers pass.

5 Too bad we couldn't pull out for about 3 months. That should be the end of the democratic party. Maybe the end of lots of muslims to. Can't lose situation.

6 When was the last time half of these idiotic Congressmen bothered to make the effort to read a confidential report? We can only guess on the actual situation over these, but they have access to the reports and ignore them replacing good intel with the evening news and moonbat advisers.

7 When a democrat canâ€™t tell the truth (which is 99.99999 percent of the time) they have to invent lies. Invent enough lies and eventually you run out of believable lies and end up in Murthaland...

8 Murtha's comments were particularly disingenuous considering General Petraeus had briefed Murtha and Pelosi personally (by phone) the day before. So Murtha's remark that the general never talks to them was a flat-out lie.

I think you're 'thinking to deeply' and assuming the Dems have nuanced planning power. Withdrawing completely, and abandoning the country to civil war and mass murder, worked very well for the Dems in Vietnam.

No blame whatsoever accrued to them for the millions murdered in Cambodia, even though the Dems' denial of S. Vietnam funding almost certainly caused it. The Dems think the average normal American wants nothing more to do with the Middle East, and they may be right. They plan to just walk away, and hope for the best. If genocide occurs, the fellow-traveling MSM will not cover it.

11 ?????????Dems now saying they will keep sending the bill back to Bush over and over again until he either signs it or what if he doesn't?

12 I think Murtha insults the General's honor. He is duty bound to report honestly. To say you don't believe him and call him politicing liar is pretty low.

The environment in Iraq seems to be getting pretty hostile to al-Qaeda operations. I hate to sound encouraged but I am. Is it the surge maybe some fo it, rest is just that people dislike al-Qaeda coming in, murdering any one and every one an ordering Taliban like standards.

Over time they make enemies where ever they go. We screw up but over time we make friends with a lot of people. Al-Qaeda is certainly in worse shape than just a few months ago.

No mercy....keep the fire on em.

13 Al Queda is in worse shape. But it seems to me that militant muslims are growing. Either that or the moderate ones are finally coming out of the closet.

Whatever happens, this thing with murtha are only some of the shots fired today, and we will still be fighting him and his anti-American trash tomorrow!

We need to keep attacking the left in every legal manner we can. We must NEVER be on the defensive with them, and we must always crush by sheer factual awareness, any leftist arguement raised to our face, by anyone.
Dinners with my relatives are very tense at times, and I will tell you, SOMETIMES IT NEEDS TO BE LIKE THAT! If 'Uncle Joe' is quoting Murtha, or some other leftist mouthpiece, you straighten him out!

If you can be polite, and persuasive, that's awesome! If not, don't you dare let him get away with repeating misinformation without correction.

You'll hate me for this advice at Christmas time, but we are in a war, and you are in a trench, and the enemy has hooks into lots of people you already know. They need to take the red pill! They need to wake up! They need to be aware, and if you don't do it, who will? Freedom costs a buck'o five! If you don't pay it who will?

Find a way to fight each day! USA, all the way!

15 To: Michael Weaver:
Right on Michael! That is the true way this war will be won (or lost). If right-thinking Americans do not speak up, this little Iraq war will be lost Those ambivalent ones we see around us will eventually have to join us in fighting a very large, very bloody, knock-down, drag out fight to the finish with every country from the Hindu Kush to Cape Verde, Africa. Most Americans are undecided, do not like the war, and want it to stop. It is up to the rest of us to show them that THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
