TSO sends us a link to an article in Roll Call<\/a> that is largely going unreported in the media about how the Justice Department and the FBI were investigating John Murtha for his “play for pay” antics in Western Pennsylvania,<\/p>\n

Bits and pieces of this story were kicked around for years before Murtha died in February 2010. The Los Angeles Times, Roll Call, the Washington Post and others had documented the odd appearance of earmarks for tiny defense contractors that just happened to open an office in western Pennsylvania and just happened to hire one of the lobbying firms close to Murtha and just happened to begin making campaign donations to Murtha and other Members of Congress close to him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Democrats covered up Murtha’s antics for decades, mostly because of his willingness to be anti-war and vocal about it. Just like IVAW, they could stand up veteran Murtha as their poster child for every anti-war theatrics. We can blame Murtha for the current war and the casualties because he advised President Clinton to withdraw from Somalia and gave hope to every jihadist on the planet that tehy could just kill masses of American soldiers until we lost our nerve to fight them. <\/p>\n

We can’t forget that Saddam hussein gave DVDs of “Blackhawk Down” to his commanders as an instructional video on how to fight Americans.<\/p>\n

And Murtha was willing to say the things that other Democrats thought but couldn’t say outloud, like when he accused the Marines involved in the Hadditha incident of being murderers, and when he told the press that American troops were demoralized and incapable of fighting.<\/p>\n

TAH has a history of resisting Murtha even before our first post;<\/p>\n
