Rees Lloyd on John Murtha’s Homage to Himself. An Airport With No Airplanes.

Remember U.S. Representative John Murtha (D-Pa), the Obama-Pelosi Democrat Party favorite defaming the U.S. Marines as “cold blooded killers” in what the liberal media called the “Haditha Massacre (sic),” the massacre that never was; the same John Murtha who has refused to apologize to the eight Marines he defamed, and their families, even though seven of the eight Marines have had all charges dismissed, and the eighth has yet to be tried on a reduced charge after five years? Well, take a look at this video of an ABC News report (yes, ABC) HERE and ask yourself who should be prosecuted for failure of duty–the Marines, or John Murtha?

Also, please note that a Resolution which I had the honor to author calling on Murtha to publicly apologize to the Marines and their families was adopted by the American Legion Department of California at the 2008 Convention, will be submitted with updated information to the 2009 Department of California Convention in Riverside, CA, June 18-21, 2009, and if adopted by delegates representing 130,000 American Legionnaires, will be sponsored by the Department of California at the National American Legion Convention in August, 2009.
If the Resolution can overcome Machiavellian politicians’ efforts to kill, delay, or gut it, and the Resolution makes it through the committee processes for a floor vote, I predict it will be approved overwhelmingly by delegates representing 1.6-million wartime veterans of The American Legion, in repudiation of Murtha for his defamation of Marines. (Unfortunately, Murtha is effectively shielded from a successful defamation action due to his legislative immunity as a member of the House.)
Murtha, although a former Marine, has as current Democrat Party politician, disgraced himself by attempting to disgrace the Marines who did their duty while Murtha has failed in his duty, as evidenced anew in this ABC report on the utter waste of taxpayer funds being expended at the “John Murtha Airport,” which, as the report states, has everything good taxpayer-money can buy but “airplanes.”
Take a very few minutes to view this ABC report exposing Murtha’s malfeasance, a special media moment since ABC so rarely broadcasts anything outside the Obama party line: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=7415354
