You've heard about this one, right?  Now I know that we've been abysmal at teaching history, geography, etc., for the past 20 years or so, but John Murtha went to school way before that, so what is his excuse for this?

"My question is, what country would take us?" Mr. Rove asked. "What country would say after the United States cut and run from Iraq, 'Yeah, paint a big target on our back and then you'll cut and run from us?'" "We can go to Okinawa," Rep. Murtha responded. "We can redeploy there almost instantly."

Mr. Russert, mindful of the fact that Okinawa, Japan, is 4,899 miles from Baghdad, offered Mr. Murtha an escape, in case he had misspoken. "But it would be tough to have a timely response from Okinawa," he said. But Rep. Murtha dug himself in deeper. "When I say a timely response, you know, our fighters can fly from Okinawa very quickly," he said."

Redeploy "almost instantly"?  Given an out, he just opened his stupid mouth even further!  By then, he was chewing up around his knee!  Even sKerry's "over the horizon" would be a better strategy if we were going to be so stupid as to cut and run from Iraq at this time!  So how do we remove this embarrassment from our public view?  Diana Irey's campaign is the place to put our efforts.  You can bet we'll be sending some money to help this lady defeat Murtha in November!  We helped to get rid of Daschle, why not Murtha?  I urge you to consider sending some bucks her way!  Let's get rid of this sorry excuse for an ex-Marine!  [To all my former Marine pals, I know what you're thinking; "There ain't no such thing as an ex-Marine"....but in this case, Murtha is an EX Marine, right?  Semper Fideles ]
