Look, I'm not a fan of either Obama or Murtha. I think they're both stinking bags of excrement. But it rankles me when people call these people cowards, because that they're certainly not. Murtha - an elitist socialist shmuck if one ever walked the Earth - has a Bronze star with a valor device (i.e., he committed at least one 'act of combat heroism'), two Purple Hearts, and a Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. None of these awards are compatible with personal cowardice, nor is volunteering to serve in a war. Now, AGAIN, I do not like these people, nor would I vote for them if I were an American citizen, but cowards, they don't seem to be.
Further, anybody who will think that America is AFRAID of a bunch of semi-literate idiots based on America relocating its troops, is an idiot. America is the country that destroyed a third of the Iranian navy in one day, with one carrier battle group, and took no losses whatever. Does this give a measure of the difference in power between America and the terrorist idiots and their enablers in the Middle East?
