What does Murtha know?  All he did was serve as a combat soldier in REAL wars.  Doesn’t he realize that the chickenhawks like Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, etc. know more about heroism in war than he does?

My estimation of Rep. John Murtha , just grows stronger with time. He may not hold the title of House Majority Leader. But he’s quickly becoming “the leader” by default.

John Murtha is reminding me of Truman’s ascent in the public eye, after exposing war time profiteering, many years before ever becoming Vice President or President.

The wisdom of Speaker Pelosi’s, earlier choice, is now becoming apparent.

Don’t think so?  Stay tuned! wink

More power to him! Well done.

Very few excellent men like him in our legislature.
