#1 Find out who picked his aides: Betcha he's being led by the nose by some snot-nosed college grad who voted for Kerry.

#2 "One of the problems I see and frustrating things is our ambassador keeps giving advice to the Iraqis," Murtha said. "Every time we give the Iraqis advice, they vote for someone else ... The Iraqis don't pay attention to our advice."

Sorry for the double comment, but the US didn't advise Iraquis on how to vote, but DID advise the Palestinians. He's confusing Palestine and Iraq, the idiot.

#3 I suspect the person who runs against Murtha this fall will have no problem raising funds. Suggestion 1, put up ads at every VFW and American Legion. Suggestion 2, get pictures of Murtha using his walker. Suggestion 3, Use the money to show ads of Murtha calling Pace a liar with the response from Pace at his press conference this week.

#4 Ptah, Murtha's pathology goes way back, unfortunately. Remember, he's the guy who helped persuade Clinton to leave Somalia.

#5 This guy reaaally doesn't want to get re-elected, doesn't he?

#6 PA is a disputed state, reds vs. blues. Murtha's rallying the base as well as doing his normal despicable thing.

#7 Keep playing and playing the Dems own words like this all the way to the November election. All the doom and gloom by so many 'conservatives' is just a lot of nerves. They put Murtha out there, just make him a poster boy for the party of defeat. Don't show any mercy. They've already started to whine and cry about the Reps fear mongering, however, it is a real danger and only demonstrates the Dems utter failure to face the threat. Show some god damn backbone and push back.

#8 So ltop & others:

So what happens when President Bush's "victory"
is achieved, the U.S. military coalition withdraws and Iraq dissolves into Civil War and there is another domestic terrorist attack on the U.S.?

I dont call this doom and gloom. I call it totally realistic.

#9 I suspect this "top level commander" was playing him for a sucker. Note the China comment. The Chinese do not want us there, they do not want us anywhere in the region. And they certainly don't want our military getting useful field training, while our R&D goes into overdrive advancing our technologies by 20 years into the future.

In fact, the only saving grace, as far as the Chinese are concerned, is any opportunities to gather intelligence about our operations and tech.

#10 So if we withdraw at the military's pace (not Murtha's) and Iraq falls into civil war, like, say Columbia - and there is another terrorist attack - then what? I suppose it proves your point?

All possible events. I don't think there are many here (Rantburg)who equate winning the war in Iraq with zero terrorisat attacks here (in the USA). Better clarify your point.
