Rep. Murtha, my Hero
A fair amount of press coverage has been given to a comment Rep. John Murtha, D-PA, made last week in the House of Representatives about the war in Iraq.
"It is time for a change in direction. Our military is suffering, the future of our country is at risk. We cannot continue on the present course. It is evident that continued military action in Iraq is not in the best interests of the United States of America, the Iraqi people or the Persian Gulf region."
Of course, his comments were met with wide criticism from the robot-like, none-thinking Republicans. Dennis Hastert, Hack-Ill., accused Murtha of playing politics with the war. Aren't politics what led us to Iraq in the first place?
And then, of course, Bush and his cronies lashed out at critics of the war, including Murtha. Cheney Little called Democrats dishonest and their comments about fabricated evidence leading us to war as reprehensible. Does Dick forget he lives in a glass house? Mr. Halliburton shouldn't throw stones. Never fear as Representative Murtha fired back. You see, he was a Marine intelligence officer in Vietnam. "I like guys who've never been there that criticize us who've been there. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war, and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done."
It pisses me off how Republicans, aka Hacks, criticize those who speak out about the war. Isn't that our patriotic oath, our job, to question the government. The war, scratch that, occupation, isn't working. Things need to change and all be damned if someone speaks up to that end. Fuck Cheney Little and his dog, Shrub.
