Murtha: the negative charge (again)

Does Murtha ever have anything positive to say about... anything? It seems not.

From Michelle Malkin's blog I've learned that Murtha is downing our troops again. Malkin's blog sums it up best with numerous blockquotes from a variety of sources. I'm reprinting one of the best quotes below:

Murtha gained notoriety last year when he demanded an immediate and precipitate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq. He claimed that victory was impossible and that the US forces were sitting ducks for terrorists. Since then, with the exception of one month, US casualties have declined rapidly and the Iraqi forces have demonstrated increasing ability to operate independently.

Now it looks like Murtha once again has jumped the gun, seemingly anxious to paint US forces as murderous now that his earlier assertion of helplessness has been shown false. He has made this leap despite the investigation continuing into the incident, and in advance of any determination by the military. Not only has he convicted the Marines without benefit of a complete investigation, let alone a court-martial, he has also found them non compus mentis by reason of "combat stress". In other words, Murtha says they're war criminals, but it's the fault of the Bush administration.

And some still wonder why Republicans feel we need a new congressman? Murtha doesn't even read the reports he's supposed to have knowledge of before answering questions. Let's get someone in there who will do the job and mean what she says--Diana Irey, for instance, would be an excellent choice. We need a positive charge from PA. Out with Murtha.
