Why the above part if you found out what he actually said?

*edit* Just looked it up, he accused some Marines of cold blooded murder after the Haditha incident. I recall hearing some hyper-ventilating on the subject a couple years ago.

He was right...it was cold blooded murder. Just b/c some here may have hyper-ventilated doesn't take away from that fact.

Anyway - RIP. Another emergency election? When was he up for reelection?

to show my train of thought...thats all.

7 of the 8 marines were acquitted & 1 still faces manslaughter charges...a far cry from murder in cold blood...but i digress.

This is one of those threads where it's easier to try to find out who's not trolling.

Yup, RIP Murtha.

I can't understand what would be so great about being in congress that you would work there until death as many of them do. Most people dream of retiring someday.

I believe that his claims were proven to be untrue in the Haditha incident.

Don't kiss his grave yet, you may research and review what a bully he was in utube. You may find it more desirable to just move on.
