Vice President Dick Cheney jumped into the fray Wednesday by assailing Democrats who contend the Bush administration manipulated intelligence on Iraq, calling their criticism "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city."

Murtha, a Marine intelligence officer in Vietnam, angrily shot back at 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."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

1. Bravo Murtha!!!!

[indie_voter]

2. YAY!!! This should be shouted far and wide n/t

[enid602]

3. Murtha

I don't think Murtha could have done more damage to Cheney short of coming out and just calling him a chickenhawk. His remarks are damning.

[spindrifter]

4. Hope BFEE realizes how far

they have pushed everyone. If someone of Murtha's background is calling for the end of our Iraq War involvement, then the real core of support has gotten into the tanks and is leaving the field.

5. FIVE DEFERMENTS VS A PURPLE HEART

Go ahead cheney, publicly take on Murtha! Do it bitch, fuck with the Marine.

6. Amen to that, Bosshog

Dick Cheney has got another thing coming if he thinks his chickenhawk self is going to take on a Marine. Cheney is such slime.

15. Yeah Cheney, call him "dishonest and reprehensible" to his face..

..But I do think Cheney deserves a fair trial...soon.

[BOSSHOG]

16. Absolutely, innocent until proven otherwise

We're not a bunch of damn conservatives here.

[senseandsensibility]

24. I agree, but they did it to Kerry

and he had three purple hearts. These slimy bastids have no morals whatsoever. Will they get away with it again?

[Blue_Roses]

7. WOW!

:bounce: Excellent!

"I met with the commandant. I said, 'If you don't give him a Purple Heart, I'll give him one of mine.' And they gave him a Purple Heart," said Murtha, who has two."

Damn...:cry:

8. CNN carried his news conference live. I checked

Fox, MSNBC, C-Spans, networks and CNBC. No one else carried it live. Thought it was very interesting that CNN carried it.

10. As a Marine Corps brat of 17 years, may I say,

SIR, thank you for saying OUT LOUD what's been needed to be said for years now, and I thank you for being somewhat snotty and sarcastic about it, as well; this armchair asshole needs to be reprimanded, exposed as the total wanker he really is, and, personally, a little time in the ole brig would suit me just fine.
Five deferments. Fuck you and shut UP.

[liveoaktx]

11. VIDEO clip of that

5 deferments

14. Don't forget to recommend that story

It only has three stars now.

[warrens]

17. The scalded cat defense is melllllllting!

Now we get to bring back the chickenhawk attack, and erode their credibility even further. Smirk n Snarl never listened to a word their generals said, about manpower, timing, post-war planning...nothing. They just said, knock off Saddam, which was child's play. But the military guys knew that without proper manpower, supplies, planning, outreach, etc., we'd lose the war. Which we are, in spades.

[BigBearJohn]

18. (((( BE SURE TO RECOMMEND IT ON YAHOO!!! ))))

19. The Gloves are off and it is about fucking time n/t
