#1 The Astute Blogger has some good stuff.

A commenter on this blog - "Noble" - suggested that perhaps (1) Murtha's sudden BIG LOUD TEAR-FILLED call for "immediate withdrawal from Iraq," (an OLD position for him, but one that he had NEVER tried to BROADCAST AS LOUDLY OR AS WIDELY BEFORE), AND (2) the sudden "play" it got from the House Democrats - led by Nancy Pelosi the Minority Leader - was a smokescreen intended to BOTH misdirect attention from impending ethics investigations over them both using influence to steer DOD business to their relatives and business friends.

Specifically it seems that Murtha steered business to HIS BROTHER'S LOBBYING FIRM - KSA - and helped Pelosi get a big project for her district which DIRECTLY BENEFITTED A RELATIVE OF HERS......

#7 Didn't the Left-libbies smear President Bush (I) with an article that claimed he bailed out too soon from his Gruman Avenger?

I recall some controversy about that around 1992. If anyone recalls the article, could you be so kind as to put a reference or link here.

When it serves Leftists to bash servicemen, they never hesitate.
