Actually, "Eric09", it was people like Murtha that voted "YES" for an invasion of Iraq...how quickly (& conveniently) you forget.
It wasn't until 2005 that Murtha took his stance against the war...and his fellow Marines in Haditha, Iraq. Funny how he came out blabbing that the Marines in question were awful and needed to be thrown in jail - before an investigation was even launched. He then proceeded to state that the "surge" would never work. Well, I guess that's just two more idiotic stances of Murtha proven wrong (Marines were found innocent and the surge worked).
Murtha was an absolute disgrace to the Marine Corps...and Congress.

These Marines are from the same unit (1/6, 2MARDIV) and in exactly the same area I was/we were back in 2004...in fact, we were the "main effort" for the enitre Afghan theater and captured 131 al qaeda & taliban - and killed twice as many (in just over 2 months of sustained combat ops).
Thus, I have absolutely no doubt that these brave men will be victorious - if/when this administration gives them the resources and proper R.O.E. to aggressively engage the enemy. Until then, we Americans are NOT safe...overseas and at home.
God Bless America & the Corps...and Semper Fi, Marines of 1/6!!!

So, Obama's administration has no problem being "transparent" with the Japanese regarding various secret military pacts we've had with Japan for 40-50 years...but he/they still refuse to be trasparent with his own constituency (the American people!) regarding their healthcare, deficit spending, taxation, backroom deals with Senators and unions, the AG's decision to drop charges against the New Black Panthers (who were threatening voters at a polling site in Philly), "mirandizing" terrorists (when we don't even offer our own troops the same "miranda" rights!), etc., etc., etc.?!?!?!
Please, please, please vote these idiots out in 2010 & 2012!

And how about down in MD, where the former Dem. mayor of Baltimore, Sheila Dixon, was just convicted of defrauding her own constituents out of welfare gift cards! Or Bill Jefferson hiding bribe money in his freezer in LA. Or John Murtha's bribes & kickbacks in PA? Or Charlie Rangel's not paying taxes? Or Gov. Blago in IL getting paid for Obama's vacant senate seat? Or Kwame Kilpatrick's theft, perjury, misconduct and obstruction in Detroit? Or Gov. Siegelman of Alabama getting convicted of bribery by a federal court. Or Elliot Spitzer & his prostitutes? Or Newark mayor Sharpe James' fraud and conspiracy conviction? How low can you go, Rev.?
We can go back and forth, for weeks on end, pointing out versions of Dem. and Rep. political criminals alike...that's besides the point here. But way to go with the typical "what about Cheyney" and "blame it all on Bush"-style retorts. Now that's progress!

It was my absolute honor to do so...thank you for the gracious note.

"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday slammed what she called the "ruthless repression" of demonstrators against the Iranian regime."

Wow...Clinton's timing is impeccable. Only 7 or 8 months after the fraudulent election and subsequent crackdown that killed/injured/jailed/executed tens of thousands of innocent Iranians. I'm sure her words will provide the much-needed solace, strength and guidance that Iran's opposition is looking for from this administration. Please note my sarcasm...

"Syntax_game": Your comments are impetuous and irrational, at best. The fact that you refer to the tea party protesters as "tea-baggers" shows the depth of your immaturity and unreasonable character. Just a year ago, you and your fellow anti-Bush "progressives" were lauding protesters throughout the country. It's obvious that you don't like the principle of free speech...unless it's about a topic with which you agree. How closed-minded, indignant and dishonest of you. You should stick to the topics you know best, like socialism, wealth redistribution, free hand-outs/entitlements, draft-dodging, tree-hugging, killing innocent children (abortions as birth control), censoring the opposition, creating a welfare state, indoctrinating our kids in public schools, fighting solar flares (er...global warming), and cowering to terrorists (sorry, I meant "human created disasters").

Good to go...FIRE FOR EFFECT!!! Love the mortar fire analogy...

Thank goodness the cameras caught Alito mouthing "not true", as it truly was yet another "You Lie!" moment from Obama. We can't let his lies/deception continue to be ignored by the MSM. I'd be willing to bet that Chairman O has told more lies/deceived the public more in his one year of office than all of the presidaents before him...combined.

Thank you, "Great Satan", for concisely stating what I'm thinking...and doing it well.

BTW - love the screen name. O'Reilly had a great op-ed espousing the same title ("Great Satan")...thought you'd enjoy it (if you haven't seen it already): http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583261,00.htm...

Oorah! Couldn't agree more...
