HUNTER: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. And I'm joined by my colleagues today to make some comments regarding the recent congressional initiatives that would call for an immediate pullout of American forces from Iraq.


Transcript: Murtha Calls for a 'Change in Direction' (November 17, 2005) You know, American military operations have two phases. In the attack phase there's great patriotism, there's a groundswell of support for the troops and much flag waving.

The second phase is a more difficult phase. That's a time when you have casualties. That's the time when you make incremental gains. And it's a time when you sometimes see faltering political support. That always happens. And right now in the war-fighting theater in Iraq, we're in the second phase. And I thought that we would talk a little bit about what's at stake, because I think that the attack on 9/11 is something that Americans have not forgotten, and I think they understand that the aggressive operations of America's military have helped to keep the insurgents in the war against terror off balance.

That's why Americans today are able to go to parks, go to schools, go to the grocery store, live life without fear of having a second 9/11 attacks, and that's why four years have expired without a second attack on our homeland: because we've aggressively projected America's fighting forces in the theaters in Afghanistan and Iraq, and they are doing a superb job.

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"

[xray s]

1. When did the Terra Warning light turn green?

i missed that announcement

[laststeamtrain]

2. It's true. Because of the torture at Abu Ghraib prison I am able to go...

...to the grocery store. It's perfectly obvious.

[Webster Green]

3. Ah, the old Iraq-9/11 connection....

They think that will get them out of the mess they are in?

Boy, they really don't get it, do they?

[MrMonk]

8. Beyond Iraq-9/11

Geoff Davis: "Ayman Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, as well as Abu Musab Zarqawi, have made it quite clear in their internal propaganda that they cannot win unless they can drive the Americans out. And they know that they can't do that there, so they've brought the battlefield to the halls of Congress.

He's attempting to link Murtha and Democrats to al Quaeda!

[IronLionZion]

14. Didn't you get the memo?

Democrats hate America!

:sarcasm:

:grr:

We have shown more patriotism and support for our troops and respect for human life than anyone is the war-profiteer party. I support my congressman, Jack Murtha in his endeavor to bring our troops home.

[stepnw1f]

4. Wrap Thyself Tight And Neat with THE Flag, So We Can Throw Your...

asses right out of our government. Then while you are out, have private investigators dig up dirt.... career over! :evilgrin:

[cantstandbush]

5. Unless they served, they have no right to question Murtha's patriotism!

Republicans are bottome of the political scum barrel.

The more Bush rants, the more he belittles our democracy and makes himself a mockery and disgrace over the Iraq invasion.

[MrMonk]

7. I love the guy who boasted that he had 31 years in the National Guard.

Great combat experience there, buddy!

[VegasWolf]

6. We conquered terrorism? Wow! I totally missed that! nt

:sarcasm:

[Gman]

9. I never was scared of a thing. I don't know anyone that was

four years have expired without a second attack because Bin Laden waits longer than that then does something spectacular.

If we are safer from Al Queda, it's because of the deal and payoff Bushco cut with Bin Laden last year to make his statement on the Friday before the November election. I'd love to know what that deal included.

[DrZeeLit]

10. Duncan Hunter is one of the top five a**h****s in Congress. What a

slime ball.

And yes, I have met him. I was an admin for a speaker's bureau and we did a major event and... s**t, he was like some opera diva. His "people" and their demands -- what a crock.
The only reason he keeps getting elected is the redneck whackos he represents. He's a racist pig with a head bigger than any rock star.

Yeah...and then I'll tell y'all how I reallllllly feel.

ha ha ha ha

[Binka]

11. Hey Mr Hunter You Fuckstick Asshat Look At This

Fuck you asshole!

[kurth]

12. House Republicans give smegma a bad name

You sure see a lot of Democrats in public office who are REAL combat vets - who were actually shot at or wounded in battle - but they don't brag about it, unlike these asshole loud-mouth bloodthirsty flag-waving chickenshit draft dodgers in the GOP.

[patricia92243]

13. Sounds like a threat to me - we will be attacked again if we don't do what

Bush wants.

[pfitz59]

15. Roll call of evil......

That list is full of vile, detestable dittoheads. Duncan Hunter is especially corrupt. (I used to love in his district!) "Foulness, thy name is Republican!"

[newscott]

16. That's just plain stupid. These folks have no clue.
