Honor Murtha? My Ass!




The U.S. Navy awarded U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., its Distinguished Public Service Award, triggering an Internet campaign to have Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter withdraw it.

Murtha, who publicly accused U.S. Marines of cold-blooded murder in a firefight in Haditha, Iraq, and was caught on camera in the Abscam scandal appearing to negotiate a bribe, was honored by the Navy for his "selfless devotion to the Nation's Sailors and Marines."

The award credits

him with making sure the military services "were provided the resources necessary to effectively conduct the Global War on Terrorism."

Since names for Navy ships are  chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, be prepared for this schmuck's next beauty.

RAK: The Secretary of the Navy can order any medal bestowed except the CMOH.

An honorable veteran would not be caught dead wearing an unearned decoration, of course.

Word verification: "apanzie" ... as in half a chimp, I guess.

I am aware of what the Secnav can do, I am flummoxed as to WHY this ass clown has been awarded anything by the US Navy other than a firing squad.

It's still not as bad as naming a carrier the USS Harry S. Truman. Truman hated the navy and Marines. That was a little back hand to the military from the Clintons.

Murtha may have called combat Marines killers, but at least he didn't call them POLICE.

You people in Pa. should all be neutered.

Semper Fi

I wondered what I'd do if I was given command of a carrier named after Clinton. I think I'd have this portrait hung in every compartment.

Unfortunately, Murtha is Chairman of the Defense Appropriations committee. I would not be surprised to find out that Murtha put the word out that if he didn't get some kind of award from the Navy, the Navy could start looking under the couch cushions for their budget money.

A short slice:
While waiting to see the general I overheard a discussion of Mr. Mrutha’s latest pork plate. A constituent of his had offered to modify some Air Force ground cooling carts to produce “super cooled air.” Murtha had directed that the USAF give the man a couple of million bucks to do the mod. Trouble was, the air from those carts did not need to be any cooler and the carts were scheduled to be phased out within a few years. So the carts would go to the entrepreneur to get modded and then straight to the disposal yards.

Enuff????
