Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft tells of the most appalling behavior Rep. John Murtha has tried up until this date: Now, Murtha Blames Marines for Mass Slaughter of Innocent Iraqis!
Murtha, without having all the facts at hand involving an investigation of Marines in the deaths of some innocents in Haditha, has compared it to My Lai and declared the Marines guilty of war crimes. First, as a former member of the military, he should not try to shoot his fellow troops down by making them into monsters -- especially in the middle of Armed Forces Week, for crying out loud! Second, as an American citizen, it is his responsibility to allow anybody accused of a crime to be assumed innocent unless proved guilty. Third -- and foremost -- he is a congressman, and as such, is supposed to serve the greater good of the nation. How, precisely, is putting our soldiers in greater harm's way by turning more people against them going to serve their security needs, let alone ours? When you come out in public, using the bully pulpit of a man elected to any high office such as his, and you make an unsupported statement that our troops murder innocent people in cold rage, you are making the lives of your constituents -- here and in service overseas -- less safe against the rage generated by the terrorists themselves. You aid their murderous plan.
Jim Hoft asks, "Do you think we can stop calling this Anti-war dem a "Hawk" now?" I think Murtha can still be called a "hawk" -- or rather, more completely, a "hawked-up gobbet of sputum".
