I’d say Murtha’s statements were TREASONOUS

First, it seems that someone has an anger management problem. Of course there’s Goldwater’s famous “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice”. But DANG.

And the substance: Murtha felt that there was something seriously wrong with the way the military was operating in Iraq. He was elected to speak up in the name of his constituents at times like those.

You must admit, that Murtha’s statements were irresponsible at best. While he may have been right (that the Marines went on a killing spree) it’s certainly shaping up to appear that he’s at risk to losing a defamation suit.

Frankly, under the circumstances – ALL things considered, if I were sitting on a JURY of his peers, I’d say Murtha’s statements were TREASONOUS… at BEST! And NOTHING less.

At worst? ….hhhmmm…

And that is regardless of the facts of the Haditha case.

Just THAT WRONG for a sitting Congressman, former Marine to undermine the military in such an INTERNATIONAL forum, during WAR, for actions on an active battlefield.
PERIOD. AT THAT STAGE of an investigation.

There is no room for using our military for THAT kind of POLITICAL machinations, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER!

IF he had been right about the information and his suppositions, he was still TREASONOUSLY WRONG to do what he did. There is NO EXCUSE for his ACTIONS, regarding that information.

All of you who want to take on Murtha on the specific “19 Nov” incident remember this. Any formal process where John Murtha has to defend himself on “19 Nov”, will allow him to put almost all of this raw evidence into the public arena quickly. And when it does, it will look ugly against 3/1. Trust me, there are some really nasty pictures and interviews that may not be legally adminisible for a trial, but will look and read bad to the average man. They look bad to me and I’ve seen dead “arhabi”.

How will they look against 9/11 thp … thp … thp … thp … thp … thp …

AMEN! MAJOR MEGA DITTOS! YOU NAILED IT!

We have no enemies worse than CERTAIN backstabbing TREASONOUS “Americans”.

1. OIF wasn’t worth it.
2. The U.S. Military commits atrocities routinely everywhere.
3. The “19 Nov” incident proves pts 1&2.

Current rules of evidence restrict what “19 Nov” reports are released to the public. The best stuff comes out in leak duals. But it’s still hard to evaluate. Once the legal process ends, the FOIA process will begain. It could take years.

He will argue, and convince some in middle America, that with his point 3 proven, so are his points 1 and 2.

Is that worth the risk to score a point on Murtha? The American public needs to focus on victory in OIF and over the Islamofascists, not a small, but horrible paragraph (not even chapter) in OIF history.

John Murtha surrounds himself with corrupt contractors like Elliot Spitzer with prostitutes. There are plenty of other good issues to take him on.

BTW, thanks for the fair hearing. It’s good to know I can still feel at home, even when I severely disagree.

I can not write for anyone here, but it appears to me the MSM is so down on the Military and we see civilian pukes like Murtha so often lieing about the Military most of us charge to the defense of our men and women in uniform.

I agree with this statement, however Murtha is a retired Marine collecting retirement. Marine Corps leadership past and present needs to hold him accountable in this respect. We should not let this go, and chalk it up to a “civilian” running his suk. If there are gray areas in this case that never get resolved, Murtha still needs to be taken to task for this betrayal.

Your tone of writing now is different than your early statements, and most, if not all here have read your thoughts without attacking you. So, your points have been well made, and I have pondered them. I bet others have too.

Cheers

well said.

Case Dropped against Lance Cpl. Stephan Tatum. Semper Fi!

The Marine Corps is dropping all charges against the Lance Cpl Stephan Tatum who was accused of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment and aggravated assault in the Haditha case…..

She loves this movie.

Back on—-

Everyman is innocent until proven guilty. Guilty meaning they were convicted by their peers beyond reasonable doubt. The action committed has occurred, regardless of criminal intent or incompetence. There are also a some people in the brig, who were wrongly convicted. If the glove does not fit you must aquit. This case has already changed the way things are done. We’ll never really know, however I always give my fellow Marines the benefit of the doubt.
