MSNBC: Speaking of Vice President Cheney, Murtha was pretty sarcastic Thursday when he said, “I like guys who’ve never even been there, that criticize us who’ve been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments, have never been there, and send people to war and then don’t like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done.”
Mr. Cheney did have five deferments and didn’t serve in the military, so it was an accurate statement, but it was also a very strong response.
AMEN, MY BRUTHAH!!! PREACH ON!!!
MSNBC: Congressman Murtha’s been described as a “staunch, pro-military hawk.” When he makes a turnaround, calling for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, how much weight does he carry?
Russert: As I watched Congressman Murtha, you could see a man who clearly had done a lot of reflection – struggling with his conscience, struggling with his commitment to the military, as someone who was in the Marine Corps for 37 years and a decorated Vietnam veteran, someone who voted for this war. Murtha decided to step forward and make the very bold statement that the United States withdraw immediately.
It sent shockwaves through Washington on Thursday.
