What a patriot!

Representative John Murtha wants credit for his career as a Marine, but makes it look pretty meaningless by calling for an immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. But not bring them home, just have them stay in Kuwait in case they're needed.

To add to his lack of class and fighting spirit, he rejects Cheney's criticisms of the Dems' embrace of the "Bush lied us into war!" idiocy by repeating the tired chickenhawk charge that worked so well for John Kerry. If I were in the Marines, I'd be pretty disgusted, but I can't comment since I came in too high in the lottery to be drafted.

Do these people really not believe in civilian control of the military, or are they just stupid? If anybody is acting like a chicken here, it's Murtha. He's the one who wants to run back to Kuwait and hope the terrorists won't go there, like the NVA didn't come south of the DMZ. He seems to think Korea is the perfect model for our war against terrorism.
