Murtha reveals that he really does not support our troops

[fintstone]

Murtha has made it clear that he intends to use the power of the purse to damage efforts to fight the war in Iraq. As the chairman of the appropriations subcommittee on defense, according to this article, he “did not hide the purpose of setting standards for training, equipping and resting troops”…according to Murtha: "They won't have the equipment, they don't have the training and they won't be able to do the work." So much for supporting the troops.

an op-ed piece isn't really an news "article."

Novak's views and actions are interesting......Inconsistent, and that is what makes them so interesting.

I guess our troops better hurry up and find those WMDs. They'll need something to defend themselves with.

And of course, I did not call it a "news article." The interesting part is obviously where they quote Murtha. He has become so drunk with power that he is not very careful what he says these days. The Democrats have been very careful to pretend to be "for the troops" and "against the war" because they know they will never retain power if their true intentions are known. Murtha has spilled the beans.

It will be like the Carter administration. I remember having to bring toilet paper from home.

So then you're saying that an op-ed piece can not contain news or factual information?

It's like you're just hurl'n burbs lately.

well there's no point in arguing with some people...

Or like bake sales for body armor.

Rumsfelds definition of "leaner and meaner" must have meant under-manned and under-equipted,(edit-) and really pissed off.

With all the money poured into that "surgical operation", including the massive Iraqi oil profits, one whould have to wonder where all the money went to, certainly not "the troops".....

What fintstone means is that all Americans should support the mass murders being perpetrated by the US government military today.

That straight from the Abraham Lincoln hymnal. Lincoln stated that you would be a traitor even if you were silent; that is anyone not cheering on the total destruction of a country and its' people were subject to arrest and imprisonment without trial or charges.

That's precisely where fintstone is today; he's an advocate of mass murder, hopefully most see him for what he is.

Hey! Your party is in control of the money now. We need even better armor for our Humvees and trucks to protect the guys from the new improved IEDs of Iranian manufacture. Why isn't the new speaker (and you) calling for better equipment now? All your party seems concerned with is buying votes and helping rich tuna fish packers. How about a little money for the troops, Democrats? Is it OK to under-man and under-equip the troops as long as liberals do it?

Shhhhhh. The media is trying to keep all this on the down-low. Don't rock the boat. Support the troops, man, you know, bring em home. Just think how awesome it would be if the civil war erupted over there and the killing exploded! It would look so bad for Bush. Man, that would be killer. We'd really get him. I bet the Democrat approval ratings would rise by at least 10%.

[john70t]

This "prediction" of an Iraqi civil war was told to Bush long before the war started by a number of military advisors.

Know what Bush did? He fired them.


So four years later, while the chaos is escalating and the civilian population is a 'leeetle-bit worse off than under the brutal dictator/hitler, you guys blame a brand new congress for everything.

Oh yeah. That'll work.

[john70t]

Valerie Plame reported the Niger-nukes thing was fake, the WMD rumor was directly from Chalabi, and Bush didn't even have the balls to split up the turkey into three parts knowing what was comming.

I know Haliburton is on the edge of chapter 11, but why are we there again?

You know that? They have a 10% net profit margin.

When will you guys realize that posting known lies over and over only exposes the fact that you have no valid argument to use?

More fiction. Do you really believe any of this?

Anyone notice how far Rearden is disconnected with what is happening in Iraq now? A civil war has been in progress for well over a year now, and hundreds are dying almost everyday. Rearden is apparently unaware of those activities.

Yawn, this guy simply can't give up his government worship, and keeps trying to get us to drink the KoolAid.

Fat chance.

Fint, the $.50 paper at the next corner has a little artical about Scooter Libby. Is that name familiar?
Valerie Plame Wilson was a CIA agent who reported to her superiors that the Niger connection was misleading/fabrication/false/lie/deception/fraudulant, at then had her life and career put at stake when Libby/Armitage/Cheney leaked classified information to the public.

This was one of the primary justifications for spending trillions of dollars (in a down economy), and loosing the lives of 3000+ "troops" and injuring 40,000 more.

This sort of seems a little more important than some sloppy knob to me. You?
