Murtha Sez

'Should've spoken out sooner'.

"Despite high emotions associated with the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War, public criticism of other members was much less common in 1974 when Murtha first won the House seat he still holds. Without the Internet and the 24-hour cable news cycle of today, there was less pressure on members to get camera time to prove their worth.

Now, Murtha says he should have voiced his concerns about Iraq sooner.

"I probably did not speak out soon enough ... I should have, but I was always so used to doing things behind the scenes and getting something done, getting a reaction from the Executive Branch," the tall, gray-haired Murtha, 73, told The Associated Press in an interview from his congressional office."

-No, the truth is leopards don't change their spots. Truth is Murtha should NOT have spent his political lifetime unconcerned and eagerly porking the rightwing defense industry, aiding and abetting the war machine. Murtha should go home with his "camera time" phony opposition. What a peckerhead.
