<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">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 Reuters article

Murtha is such an asshat. You think with that the 403-3 vote by the House rejecting immediate withdrawal would have shut him up. But no, he wouldn't join today even though he said he "left Washington and Jefferson College in 1952 to join the Marines out of a growing sense of obligation to his country during the Korean War" and then "volunteered for Vietnam in 1966-67." In hindsight, one would be hard pressed to argue that either of his wars were more worth fighting than the current one against terrorism.

This from someone who voted YES on authorizing military force in Iraq in Oct. 2002.

Were Presidents Truman and Johnson "absolutely" wrong in sending Murtha off to their wars?
