And how exactly is it that since Iraq is a free democrat state they no longer provide a counterbalance to Iran? Are you blind? How can you be so ignorant of the rioting for democracy in Iran for the last two + years?

Even after their acquittals, he wouldn't back down or apologise.

I have nothing *nice* to say regarding John Murtha. And now he’s dead. I do have one thing to say: BURN IN HELL you son of a bitch! Sorry Mom…

What I do know is that Murtha certainly started out as a good guy. The Haditha situation was as great of an enigma to me as his last re-election, until I spent some recent time in Western PA. I doubt I’ll ever figure out where he was coming from on Haditha (short of an Alzheimer’s post mortem diagnosis), but having spent considerable time this year in the Western part of PA, I totally “get” why he is so easily reelected; JOBS! I detest “pork”, but if it’s legal and legit and keeps the district working, is it really pork? John Murtha brought major defense companies into Johnstown, two of them Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, as well as a cancer center. I certainly don’t know all of the details, but I do know that NG and LM are excellent companies, and keep a lot of folks in the district off of the welfare handouts. I also took a drive to the airport. It’s totally over the top for the amount of use it gets, however I know the National Guard and maybe some other military use it. IF we have a major terrorist attack on the US, it would be my assumption that the Johnstown Murtha Airport would play a major role, and finally be worth its salt. From what I understand, it’s highly sophisticated, equipment-wise, and would be an ideal spot for active national security defense should we ever need it. Sure there are a lot of things I could think of that Murtha probably could have done better, but let us not forget that he did a lot of things right. I recently visited Vietnam (as a tourist). The heat was so stifling that I couldn’t handle China Beach in a bathing suit. All I could think about was our Vietnam Vets, and how much they endured for their love of country. Murtha volunteered to go to Vietnam. Regardless of what any of us think about the Vietnam war, it took real men to fight it. Today I would just like to honor him as a veteran, a husband, and a father, and let God sort out the “justice” part of his political life. R.I.P. John Murtha
