Why John Murtha is Right! | 45 comments (45 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: Why John Murtha is Right! (4.00 / 6)

i been saying this for a year

we need a draft to do this right

this is the way the dems should frame it

we cant do it right so we have to leave now

we supported the president because we didnt believe he would lie us into a war and we were sure he and his men would competently run the war.
but he is not competent, he and rumsfeld ignored their generals and war experts on what it would take to be successful in iraq

they had no plan or the wring plan
they didnt provide the right equipment to the troops they sent
they havent taken care of the troops who have come back harmed

THEY lost the war thru incompetence

there are only 2 choices

A) a draft, long term presence, and many more casualties

B) immediate withdrawal to save american lives and protect this country in the face of an INCREASED terror threat as a result of bush's failure and incompetence

the pussy footing kerry and biden and clnton are doing on this thing is ridiculous...dean too....saying we cant come up with a plan because we arent the president is stupid.

we need a big penis response and a plan that allows america to keep from feeling castrated....and a scapegoat to blame it all on so we can say it wasnt because we suck is a good idea too...which is where bush comes in....america will accept him now as the scapegoat because someone else with a big penis is stepping up to the plate to lead.

I am disgusted.

I haven't read the story yet -- at Democracy Now!'s headlines -- but I saw that the Dems are backing off from Murtha's courageous statements.

Some of the hallmarks of the Gulf War were the extensive debate and scrutiny ... and the careful diplomacy worldwide by the 1st Bush administration ... the extensive Congressional hearings.

Hell, John Kerry voted against the Gulf War! Then he votes willy niilly for the Iraq War .... and we know it's because he wants to run for president and he doesn't want to be accused of being unpatriotic.

These Democrats do not represent the Democratic party or any of us.

They weren't fooled by the administration's lies or bad intelligence. They were fooled by their own self-interests.

Thanks for this Susan... (4.00 / 2)

These Democrats do not represent the Democratic party or any of us.

I emailed my senators, Clinton and Schumer, this AM to say that their cowardice on Iraq is shameful and an embarrassment to the entire state of New York.

Not Just A Draft (4.00 / 2)

But much higher taxes. That large, new army will be expensive.

Don't forget to include that in the equation.

BTW, this post is one of the sanest, most realistic assessments of the mess in which we find ourselves. Thank you, LJ.

Intelligent Design is neither.

and while they are at it (none / 1)

they being congresspersons who have the balls and brains to frame this right, they should link the pullout/they lied us into a war/they lost the war/they didnt support the troops on the ground and they arent supporting them now as they come home/they are incompetent frame to impeachment hearings

if that isnt worthy of impeachment hearings then nothing is

the american people will go for this now

bush has lost his mojo
