John Murtha, D-Pa., the Pelosi ally who chairs the House military appropriations subcommittee, said he has spoken to Pentagon officials about the need to provide Pelosi with a bigger plane that can fly passengers coast to coast in comfort.<\/p>\n<p>But he denied pressuring the Pentagon. &#8220;I don&#8217;t need to pressure them. I just tell them what they need to do,&#8221; Murtha said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u00c2\u00a0wonder if Big Shot Murtha ever read the Constitution\u00c2\u00a0 &#8211; the part where the President is the commander-in-chief of the military. No where does it say that some pickle-brained, pasty-faced, fat-assed, cut-and-run coward committee chairman gets to tell the military what they should do &#8211; especially by threatening to withold funding for\u00c2\u00a0REAL COMBAT SOLDIERS\u00c2\u00a0deployed in combat\u00c2\u00a0over something so petty as a non-stop flight for the Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll grant that she needs a plane and\u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;ll grant that the military should provide one, but I&#8217;ll not concede that Murtha has the right to denigrate the military by declaring that they need to follow his directions. Especially the way he&#8217;s treated combat troops in the near and distant past.<\/p>\n<p>This is just indicative of Murtha&#8217;s total disregard for this nation&#8217;s security &#8211; that he&#8217;s willing to sacrifice soldiers&#8217; lives so he can suck up at lightspeed to Blinky the Botox Queen. As if we needed something else to point out his disregard.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All this yammering about Pelosi&#8217;s plane really didn&#8217;t interest me until I read this line from &hellip; <a title=\"General Murtha speaks;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=187\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">General Murtha speaks;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-john-murtha","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
