Murtha speaks and Hastert responds...

murtha takes a stand...

Rep. John "Jack" Murtha (D-PA), vice chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee on Defense and one of the Democrats' top advisers on military issues, called Thursday morning for United States to immediately begin withdrawing its troops from Iraq.

it's denny to the rescue...

House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) released the following statement in response to comments by Rep. John Murtha (D-PA):

"I am saddened by the comments made today by Rep. Murtha. It is clear that as Nancy Pelosi's top lieutenant on armed services, Rep. Murtha and Democratic leaders have adopted a policy of cut and run. They would prefer that the United States surrender to the terrorists who would harm innocent Americans. To add insult to injury, this is done while the President is on foreign soil.

"Four years ago, America as we knew it changed. The terrorists attacked our people and attacked our nation. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives. Families were destroyed, and our children lost their sense of peace. On that day, we learned that we no longer had a choice. Failure to act -- and act strongly -- left our nation vulnerable to Osama bin Laden and his band of terrorist followers.

"But now, Rep. Murtha and other Democrats want us to retreat. They want us to wave the white flag of surrender to the terrorists of the world. It is unfortunate that this is all politics all the time. We need to have a strong consistent policy that will protect our men and women who are fighting to protect us overseas. We must not cower like European nations who are now fighting terrorists on their soil.

aw, denny, stop it...! it's enough to gag a maggot...

and, disgustingly, he continues, but the above alone is enough to send strong-stomached citizens with two brain cells to rub together running for the bathroom... how many lies can you pack into one statement...? incredible...

will these guys EVER stop trying to shove 9/11 down our throats and peddling the not-so-subtle implication that somehow iraq was connected to al qaeda...?
