MURTHA PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT HE IS A TRAITOR

Apparently, John Murtha wasn't content with disparaging our cause in Iraq by calling it a LOST CAUSE and demanding that we immediately withdraw - just before a huge election there!

Now, Murtha is disparaging military service in the USA armed forces and encouraging people NOT TO ENLIST! From "Reuters" - Via DRUDGE:
Rep. John Murtha, a key Democratic voice who favors pulling U.S. troops from Iraq, said in remarks airing on Monday that he would not join the U.S. military today. ... Murtha told ABC News' "Nightline" program that Iraq "absolutely" was a wrong war for President George W. Bush to have launched.

"Would you join (the military) today?," he was asked in an interview taped on Friday.

"No," replied Murtha of Pennsylvania, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives subcommittee that oversees defense spending and one of his party's leading spokesmen on military issues. "And I think you're saying the average guy out there who's considering recruitment is justified in saying 'I don't want to serve'," the interviewer continued. "Exactly right," said Murtha, who drew White House ire in November after becoming the first ranking Democrat to push for a pullout of U.S. forces from Iraq...
Abraham Lincoln would've had this man ARRESTED and tried for sedition, as he did Congressman Vallandigham.:
Vallandigham joined with Fernando Wood, mayor of New York City, and other like-minded individuals to establish the Peace Democrats, a faction that espoused a negotiated end to the fighting and recognition of an independent Confederacy if necessary. His views on the war were not popular with Ohio voters and he lost a bid for reelection in 1862.

Undeterred, Vallandigham continued his public criticism of the war effort. In May 1863, he was arrested for violating General Ambrose Burnside’s General Order No. 38, which subjected persons expressing sympathy for the enemy to possible imprisonment. Vallandigham’s conviction by a military tribunal was upheld by President Lincoln ...
The "PEACE DEMOCRATS" haven't changed one iota: they still advocate a cut'n run policy that appeases tyranny. And it's still treasonous.

UPDATE: FOUR RIGHT-WING WACKOS has a hilarious photo of Murtha with a GREAT "FAKE BUT ACCURATE" caption; (HINT: "Murtha is the Anti-JFK!")

Good coverage – I missed the news that Murtha sunk so low. And a great reminder of historical precedent! I only wish Bush had gone to Congress to get a declaration of war for either the Afghanistan campaign or Iraq campaign.

THANKS FOR THE COMPLKIMENTS jp AND THE COMMENT.

I DON'T PLACE MUCH VALUE ON CONGRESSIONAL DECLARATIONS OF WAR.

THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RARE - MUCH RARER THAN WARS FOUGHT BY US.

AND THE AUNF IS FOR INTENTS AND PURPOSES A DECL. OF WAR AGAINST ALQ AND THEIR AFFILIATES - ALL GWB NEEDS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
