Once again, the current Federal Administration, not having any facts to support its actions, turns to the politics of character assassination:
Congressman Murtha responds:
I am not a great fan of Congressman Murtha. By and large, I disagree with most of his positions on most issues. I’m not even sure it is right to characterize what is happening in Iraq as a civil war–certainly it did not start without the help of the U. S. invasion.
Nevertheless, it is clear he has his standards and he is willing to take a stand for what he believes in, even if it may not be a popular position with his district.
He has served the country well, though quietly.
The Bushies, though, know only one tactic: Attack the character of anyone whose point of view opposes theirs.
Mr. Murtha has the courage to fight back. God be with him.
