GUNNY BOB'S COLUMN NOVEMBER 17, 2005:

A Traitor's Tirade: Rep. John Murtha Soils The Corps

In a statement that has angered, embarrassed and humiliated Marines around the globe, one of our own -- a retired Marine Corps Reserve colonel -- has called for the legendary fighting force to retreat from Iraq and surrender to the terrorist organization that has killed thousands of Americans at home and abroad. He has even called for the United States to enter into negotiations with al Qaeda. This vermin’s demand for retreat, surrender and negotiations with the enemy is so committed to assisting al Qaeda in their efforts in Iraq that he has posted his unspeakable demands on his website in the form of an official statement

John Murtha press release:
http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/pa12_murtha/pr051117iraq.html

The traitor, Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha, agrees 100% with Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al Zarqawi that the Marine Corps, which is mangling the enemy on a daily basis in Iraq and suffering comparatively light casualties, should lay down its arms, call it quits, and abandon the people they are defending in the fledgling democracy of Iraq.

Furious Marines from wars as far back as World War II are spitting mad at the cowardly colonel and many want his head on a stake in the middle of the Marine Corps Commandant's lawn. Personally, I would not soil that good earth with so vile and despicable a piece of offal.

Encouraging retreat is viewed as aiding the enemy by the Marines and is a violation of Article 104 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is punishable by death. Currently serving Marines, active duty or reserve, who encourage surrender are in violation of Article 100 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, an offense also punishable by death. Because Murtha is retired, he is virtually assured of not being prosecuted.

However, he will be celebrated by al Qaeda and other terrorists around the world. At this very moment, al Qaeda communications specialists are likely prepping pieces of propaganda using Murtha’s traitorous tirade as a tool to recruit fresh killers by showing them that even an American Marine (apologies to Puller) believes his allegedly beloved Corps is so inept in battle that retreat and surrender are the Marines’ best option and perhaps should, in fact, be added for the first time to the Leathernecks’ vast, quasi-mythical repertoire of operational art and battlefield strategy.

Murtha joins the likes of traitor Clayton Lonetree, the Marine security guard who gave top-secret intelligence to the Soviets, and traitor Robert Garwood, the Marine who went over to the enemy during the Vietnam War and was involved in holding and abusing US prisoners of war in North Vietnam while wearing the uniform of the enemy.

The Marine Corps is famous for its members standing their ground and winning fights against outrageous odds. Battles with names like the Peking Legation, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, the Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh and Fallujah decorate the hallowed halls of Corps history. Especially repugnant is how Murtha is insisting upon surrender while the Marines are decimating the enemy en masse.

Marines should ask Murtha if Chesty Puller would order retreat and surrender before the enemy.

John "The Jellyfish" Murtha should be shunned by all Marines and, if possible, legal steps should be taken to prevent this betrayer from being buried in a national cemetery upon his demise.

Olympian...thanks for the heads-up. I had Gunny Bob's show previously listed in our "Media Links" topic (which I inadvertently deleted) and will re-list it.

Olympian,

Yes, the successes of the Iraq War Campaign have become a major embarrassment to the Democrats, haven't they!

another view of Murtha here:
http://www.washtimes.com/national/20051118-122019-3370r.htm
(it's a 2 pager, so be sure to click the 'next' link at the bottom)

I'm sure we'll hear more 'Surrender Now while we have a chance' cries from the Dems while they're on vacation lo these next 2 weeks! Almost as obnoxius as telemarketers, but you can turn off the TV almost as fast as you hang up on the TMs!

Like Kerry last year, the Dems are doing a great job of polarizing the American voter! Next fall will be a great demographic on the Red/Blue debate, and our American Way of Life in general. I continue to believe that our boys returning from Iraq will continue to have the same kind of welcome home that our boys got returning from WWII. Americans ALL understand that the troops showed the WORLD that Americans thrive on their determination and will to preserve the American Way of Life that some would try to bring down. Those that try will fail. America in 1945 understood, and America in 2005 understands, and will continue to understand til the day the War against Terrorists ends. Murtha and his ilk are 'Stuck on Stupid'

I don't know anything about Murtha, other than he is retired military, but I gotta see a transcript of his 'speech' because I heard it live and alot of stuff that didn't seem on the up and up. Anyone else notice? I felt bad in a way, he was awfully emotional and seem to be doing this for emotional reasons or was pushed into it. Something smells not right.

[GM Strong]

[msindependent]

could be now that he's older a few ghosts/memories are flooding back. those in command have a heavy load that they can never show. however, i don't think that's all of it. as more comes out, this may have been one of those general/orincommand things for debate among friends. i've seen serveral (including mccain) that apparently wanted to send waves of troops over there to totally take over and occupy. he should have kept it to himself, he's not in charge anymore. military is more high tech now, etc. things change, this is a different type war. he got mad that it wasn't done his way and weepy about busted up soldiers, this made him weak and that let politics take over. because he's bull headed he just put the very troops he loves in harms way. not a smooth move and he should know better. he needs to retire from all and go fishing with his grandkids.

The Myth of Murtha - Friday, November 18, 2005 @ 2:18:02 PM

This is a manufactured news story. Murtha is not a hawk, and hasn't been for at least a year and a half.

From the May 6, 2004 Roll Call (here's a Yahoo cache):
Signaling a new, more aggressive line against the Bush administration’s policy on Iraq, Rep. John Murtha (Pa.), the House Democrats’ most visible defense hawk, will join Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) today to make public his previously private statements that the conflict is “unwinnable.”
That didn't stop The Hill from making a big deal of it when Murtha endorsed Howard Dean for DNC chair:
The endorsement of the leading antiwar presidential candidate by one of the Democrats’ most prominent early supporters of the Iraq invasion signals a rehabilitation of Dean’s image in the House and greatly increases his prospects of leading the party, many Democratic lawmakers and aides said.

Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) is writing letters in support of Howard Dean. Several lawmakers said support by the hardscrabble, old-school Vietnam veteran, who endorsed former Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.) in the presidential primaries, would compel the DNC to take a second look at the firebrand governor and not simply write him off as an extreme avatar of the party’s antiwar wing.
That was in January, nearly eight months after Murtha joined the party's antiwar wing. Our esteemed press corps didn't check up on the Murtha-is-a-hawk spin then, and they didn't check up on it yesterday, either. Pathetic.

Kerry is a Vietnam Vet also....and a traitor as well...Being a vet. doesn't make you an expert....

[srmorton]

I think the Dems are getting desperate. The word is that Pelosi put him
up to this speech to steal the headlines from Woodward. I think that they
are realizing that time is running out for them to portray the Iraqi war as
a failure. Even if the MSM manages to downplay the December election
as much as they did the one in October, the completion of the original
timetable for setting up the new DEMOCRATICALLY elected government
will be seen by any impartial observer as an amazing achievement. We
are also getting closer and closer to the capture of Zawahari. The Iraqi
army is getting stronger and better trained by the day. The Dems know
that their only hope for winning their propaganda war is to get the troops
out prematurely before the Iraqi government is strong enough to hold
its own against the terrorists. As long as GWB has breath in his body
(and the Pubs retain control of Congress and thereby the purse strings),
the troops will finish the mission and honor the memories of those brave
men and women who have given their lives in the cause of freedom.

BTW, I just saw a comment by John Kerry scrolling across the screen
of FNC. He said the troops should come home and that he will not
allow the "swift-boating" of John Murtha.

Speaker Hastert has called for a rollcall vote in the full House tonight on a Murtha-based resolution calling for pullout/surrender. This will be a golden opportunity for Democrats to go on the record, by name. Should be interesting. Stay tuned.
