Subject: GOP strawman vote tonight on withdrawing troops

Written By: ChuckyG on 11/18/05 at 9:20 pm

pretty sad. 

Murtha's proposed bill:

Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That:

Section 1. The deployment of United States forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is hereby terminated and the forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable date.

Section 2. A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the-horizon presence of U.S Marines shall be deployed in the region.

Section 3 The United States of America shall pursue security and stability in Iraq through diplomacy.


what the GOP pushed to a vote:

RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces
in Iraq be terminated immediately.


We then get the Republicans (Jean Schmidt) smearing Murhta.  Calling a Veteran Marine a coward on the House floor.  Withdrawing it only after being threatend with censure.

Very classy folks the GOP.  Force a vote to try and make the Democrats look bad, so they can use it in sound bites. I'm sure the "liberal" media will be fooled into making the GOP look better than they deserve from this one.  The folks on the right-wing blogs are already calling Jean Schmidt a "hero" for insulting a war veteran on the House floor. God forbid they actually hold an actual debate on the issue.  Just scoring points with the rabid folks in their fan base.

A Traitor's Tirade: Rep. John Murtha Soils The Corps
By: Bob Newman
11/18/2005

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 (www.house.gov/apps/list/press/pa12_murtha/pr051117iraq.html).


Oh, boo-hoo!
Newman should spit his venom at the right-wing dipsy-doodles who took over the government, strong-armed the military into engaging in this rotten war, and are now squawking as the confused little chickenhawks they are because our country has lost thousands of American lives and untold hundreds of billions of dollars on a foolish imperial game we can't win!

really? They forced the Republicans to finally vote for an investigation they've been avoiding like the plague for two years.  That vote accomplished something

This vote has a known outcome, and is strictly done to try and stop debate on an issue.

What is with these guys who obviously want to fight just to fight.  It doesn't really matter to them whether
the motives are good or bad.  They just want to fight and want to win, for the sake of fighting and
winning alone.  That is why we remained in Viet Nam and that is why we continue in Iraq.

so apparently they did this to keep the murthas of the congress from continuing to call for an immediate withdrawal and thereby embarrassing the war supporters? who, incidentally, have much to be embarrassed about?

it'd be interesting if murtha and his allies -- if he can find any; it's lame how the democrats left him out to dry -- started calling for a phased withdrawal with a timetable. maybe the pro-war guys would then try the same thing, but a timetable is a lot more likely to pass.

Funny how those who thought more was against the war found out quick ..almost like having water thrown on them uhuhuhuhuh...guess there is something to this war... like,... America's honor... Does anyone realize how just pulling away from it will splash OUR countrys name around in headlines of the like :AMERICA SURRENDERS?

Our reasons for going were discovered to not turn anything up, but we left a mark of removing a vicious dictator..so some good was done...now we need to pull up the weeds and give it a nice American makeover..We are also wise to know,sure, if you fight others with BIGGER weapons you'll both have a whole lot of holes and destruction leftover and who really wins..but if you go after little start up countries THAT COULD LEAD to being bigger, you KILL the ROACHES in their tracks!

Maybe we could be the self appointed world exterminators..but leaving the war now would put egg on our faces and imagine the Russia/China alliance that could be formed against US.

We have over 60000 troops there and we will let a small number of goofasses chase us away..is this David and Goliath time?

  Add to that the Iraq-had-nothing-to-do-with-9/11 thing and the No-WMD-found-in-Iraq thing...

  I don't want to see the Red, White and Blue receive a black eye any more than anyone else, but from here on, Americans will have no choice but to come to grips with the fact that we rashly, naiively intervened in Iraq. Americans will come to understand the hard truth that we have irrevocably destroyed Iraq's viability as a state. Americans will inevitably have to face the reality that over 2,000 KIAs, untold numbers of US wounded, and untold numbers of innocent victims were all sacrificed for a colossal delusion. Disgrace is hard to accept, but gradually we will do just that and move on.

Oh, they don't want to fight.  They want other people and other people's children to do the fighting.  They just wanna strut around in full costume-shop regalia rattling their plastic sabres.

And I can't emphasize strongly enough, it isn't about winning, as in winning blow-for-blow.  Iraq was never a military threat to America.  It's important not to call it winning versus losing.  It's more a matter of not being able to accomplish our mission.  Our military is occupying a country that doesn't want us there, and our government is lying to us about it.  As long as the so-called insurgents can rustle up guns and bullets, automobiles and explosives, our soldiers are at risk and the citizens of Iraq are at risk of being torn to pieces. 
Is the administration asking us to babysit a contrived democracy long enough to stave off a civil war?  How long will that take?  Five, ten, twenty years?  What's the cost in human lives, what's the cost in dollars?  May we see an honest-to-God cost benefits analysis here?
The people who hatched this scheme lived in a fantasy world right-wing ideology and toy soldiers.  They didn't know what they were doing, and they still don't.  Some of them need to be committed to institutions for the safety of humanity!


All too true, Maxwell.  A favorite bumper sticker of mine says, "Draft Jenna Bush!"

Now there's an idea!  Those politicians who advocate war will have to have their children join the military once they reach the age of service.  If a politician has no children, then THAT politician must serve in the military.  They would have no choice of where to serve; their place would be determined by the same ASVAB test that everyone else takes.

Sadly, they're not about to do that.  (sarcasm)Nobility and royalty are exempt from the laws, donchaknow?  If no one were left to carry on the family dynasty, some unworthy slob (who actually believes in the Constitution! Horror of horrors!) might get into office and change the direction of the body politic from dictatorship to freedom!  Can't have that now, can we?(/sarcasm)

Murtha didn't call for an immediate withdrawawl.  The REPUBLICANS put up a non-binding resolution asking for it though.

Murtha wasn't left to hang out and dry.  You clearly didn't follow the hearing at all.  He was given a standing ovation by the Democrats when he entered the chamber friday night.

Just this week, one of the generals in charge of Iraq put together a plan for a withdrawl over the next six months.  Which is EXACTLY what Murtha is calling for.  I guess that general is now a coward too?

I like what J.D.

A Traitor's Tirade: Rep. John Murtha Soils The Corps
By: Bob Newman
11/18/2005

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 (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.

Here's a good scoop on Rep. Bubp from the Daily Kos:
http://land-of-enchantment.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/11/19/9737/0749

Colonel Danny Bubp, gimme a break!  Is he related to George "The Gipper" Gipp?
Schmidt might as well have said, "None of you knew Danny Bubp, he was before your time, but I have a message from him to get out there and 'Win one for the Bubber!'"
:D


I like this quote from when she was campaigning:

"I pledge to walk in the shoes of my colleagues and refrain from name-calling or the questioning of character," Schmidt said then. "It is easy to quickly sink to the lowest form of political debate. Harsh words often lead to headlines, but walking this path is not a victimless crime. This great House pays the price."

She narrowly won election, I guess the people of Ohio are wondering why now.  She took what, two months to sink to the lowest form of political debate?
