A "Bonehead?" Murtha "sucks?"
Nice.
Murtha left Washington and Jefferson College in 1952 to join the Marine Corps and was awarded the American Spirit Honor Medal for displaying outstanding leadership qualities during training. Murtha rose through the ranks to become a drill instructor at Parris Island and was selected for Officer Candidate School at Quantico, Virginia. Murtha was then assigned to the Second Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Murtha remained in the Marine Corps Reserves, and ran a small business, Johnstown Minute Car Wash. He also attended the University of Pittsburgh on the G.I. Bill, and received a degree in economics. Murtha later took graduate courses from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
In 1959, Murtha, then a captain, took command of the 34th Special Infantry Company, Marine Corps Reserves, in Johnstown. He remained in the Reserves after his discharge from active duty UNTIL HE VOLUNTEERED FOR SERVICE in the Vietnam War, serving from 1966 to 1967, serving as a battalion staff officer (S-2 Intelligence Section), receiving the Bronze Star with Valor device, two Purple Hearts and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. He retired from the Reserves as a colonel in 1990, receiving the Navy Distinguished Service Medal.

John Murtha is an outstanding man. He was in the Marines and served in Vietnam. He knows what is best for America. A good man he is.

John Murtha is the best thing that has happened to Republicans since Hillary's socialized medicine proposal!
His withdrawl proposal only hurts the democratic position.

He's just another Democrat who wants to be in
the spotlight too, no matter how defeating it is for
our country. Pulling out of this war will not solve
any terrorist problem....just gives the terrorists the
okay you can take over it all now, as we're leaving.
Smooth sailing for dictators that Iran and Syria have.
(By the way, those wmd that Iran had are hid in
Syria....got there by passenger jets while the UN was
dwaddling getting their weapons inspectors over there).
Why passenger jets? Well, no one would suspect wmd
on that kind of transportation. They were pretty smart
there.

Murtha sucks.
He don't care about or support the troops,he's looking for his name in the paper.

He is a disgrace to Americans, He is the face of Democrats,
his plan to leave our Troops without needed supplies, amounts to
Treason, in time of War. He should resign, and be forced to
stand trial as a collaborator with the enemy.

The guy is a bonehead. He is a talking idiot who can say what ever he wants because he isn't accountable to anyone like an elected official.

I see a political hack who has destroyed his military legacy, by hanging his hat on the future of a complete political loser, Nancy Pelosi !
