John Murtha Is Caught in a "Cold Blooded" Haditha Lie
2006-08-18
Gateway Pundit (the link for this article) has the goods. Rather than repeat it all here, go there and see for yourself. John Murtha, it seems, lied about the whole thing.

Here's the link to the Patterico blog entry with the goodies.

#11  Agreed, TW. Let Diana Irey have a turn at the seat, and let Murtha spend the rest of his life being an 'honored guest' at Code Pink rallies.

#10  Let the man not be re-elected and spend the rest of his life stewing in his own bile. Beyond that his problems are only of interest to his immediate circle, which will no doubt shrink significantly once he is no longer a VIP.

#8  Yes, the wider truth is that all leftists lie. They are now irrelevant and in order to regain some measure of importance, they must create questionable situations damning the actions of the American military.
The left believes that every bullet fired can be replaced by negotiations. Three way negotiations.
The one who fired the bullet, the American military, the one who the bullet was fired at, the Islamic lunatic, and the mediator third party, the well meaning leftist.
Phalk that, we don't need any overseers.
We don't need no stinkin negotiations.

#5  Fat-face is prisoner of his rhetoric. If he needs lies to sustain pseudo consistency, then fat-face will lie.

#4  why did the Commandant's office not issue a press release immediately after Murtha's denying the meeting and force the issue?

Whatever the answer may be, it seems to work out better this way! I wonder how many lies Murtha stacked on top of this one. In any case, Murtha seems to have lost it and it's time for him to get out of the way.

#3  While I have no room for Murtha, why did the Commandant's office not issue a press release immediately after Murtha's denying the meeting and force the issue? It's not like he (The Commandant)works for the POS.

#2  That man is a disgrace to the uniform that he wore.

#1  So he lied in a in fashion reminiscent of Jengis Kherry. What is it about Democrats and smearing our troops in time of war?
