Next time you hear Deadeye Dick lash out at critics of the Bush no-exit policy in Iraq, remember what a real combat veteran thinks.
John Murtha on Cheney:
"I like guys who've never been there that criticize us who've been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war, and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done."
Representative John Murtha of Pennsylvania is the antithesis of Dick Cheney. He went directly from college in 1952 and enlisted in the Marines to fight in Korea. In 1966 he volunteered for combat in Vietnam, receiving the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. He spent a total of 37 years with the Marines and has been serving his country as a Congressman since 1974.
Unlike draft-dodgers Bush and Cheney, Rep. Murtha -- who originally supported the Iraq war -- believes it is now time for the U.S. to get out.
