5. Murtha said, we want to help this President

but he is too hard to help... This is a long war, time to change the direction....

[LaurenG]

15. that is too funny, "he's too hard to help" as in beyond help, lol nt

[sandnsea]

22. Gephardt used to say that

"He's hard to help" I wonder if Murtha remembers.

[Beaverhausen]

6. details for the west coast, please

thanks! :hi:

[dogday]

7. We cannot police the world.....

[AntiFascist]

19. That was profound, too bad I'm not watching it either n/t

[dogday]

8. Murtha said 80% of Iraqis want us out of there

we went to war because we though WMD would dominate the area.. Mis-characterizing this war...

[dogday]

9. Murtha says polls show this President is lying as to

why we went to war.....

[joanski0]

10. Iraq is a civil war.

What we are into is nationbuilding. We are spreading hatred. We want to help this president*, but he is hard to help.

He answered substantive questions with rhetoric. Our troops are the targets of the insurgency. ... It's time for us to change direction. Go to the perifery. ... I'm convinced we are spending our money the wrong way. We should be fighting terrorism.

We are not the police of the world. We can't nation build. There's tyranny everywhere in the world.

Our military is not going to be well prepared if we continue to fight this war in Iraq.

Bush says the future of the world depends on our fighting tyranny (s). Murtha says Bush keeps mischaracterizing this war, in order to talk about terrorism.

Bush has not convinced the publish. The people believe that he is lying to the public. They are far ahead on this. WHAT is the plan for victory.

Chris: How do we avoid being humilated?

Murtha: Get out of there. Go to war only when it hurts our national interest.

[faithnotgreed]

16. thank you for the specifics joanski0

its very nice to have the details - and such important details they are
wonder if any of it will ever sink in for chris but we cant worry about that of course

glad to hear that jack murtha was able to bring this sanity to the show that is sorely lacking

[goclark]

21. Speak Murtha, tell the TRUTH~ nt

[cal04]

11. Go Murtha

mischaracterizing the war in Iraq
we didn't go to war against tyranny
we went for WMD
The public thinks the president is lying
What is the plan?
Had their election, they have to fight for themselves like we did in the US
We have NO exit strategy

[Wheezy]

12. Wow.

Murtha was fantastic, and Tweety let him talk.

[Canuckistanian]

13. Here comes the next item on Media Matters

Tweety's extra-drunk on the Koolaid these days.

[otohara]

14. Broke My Boycott for 3 Minutes

Murtha couldn't bring himself to say he thought Bush lied. Said the American people think he lied - Yes Congressman Murtha "he lied" and I guess I understand why you can't say it out loud. Tweety would nail you, swift boaters would call for your public hanging.

[npincus]

20. Murtha DID say "people think the president lied"

and that people did not trust him. Murtha was great, great, GREAT, sorry you only caught 3 minutes.

i taped it and will watch again later.

[dogday]

17. Murtha said everywhere he goes people stop him

and thank him...tell him he is doing a good job....

[dogday]

18. Are the Neocons still hawkish about war?

Murtha said you sit in your air conditioned office and push war, you need to experience the sacrifice before you put these soldiers through it....
