Congressman of the Exchequer time to be an X and play Checkers.....

Monsieur J'aime Al Qaeda

Congressman John Murtha should be dubbed "Monsieur J'aime Al Qaeda"(Mr. I like Al Qaeda in honor of his mentor "Monsieur J'aime Berlin" (Mr. I like Berlin)-Neville Chamberlain. Murtha is either brain dead, or as a decorated soldier, he is one of the most unlikely apologist for a former Chancellor of the Exchequer who went on to become Prime Minister of England. Neville Chamberlain who championed the concept of appeasement has a new disciple of his disastrous School of Foreign Policy which has now infected the Body Politic of the United States. Murtha's unenlightened speech which begins:

• "The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion. The American public is way ahead of us."

echos the spirit of Chamberlain's speech after signing the 1938 Munich Pact with Herr Hitler :

• "My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time."

The X-Soldier/Congressman's speech makes a complementary book end to Chamberlain's as one of the most naive and irresponsible speeches in history given by a leader in response to Fascism. Not since the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain advocated isolationism, defeatism and appeasement by handing over Czechoslovakia in the Pact he signed with Herr Hitler has a leader publicly made such a gross miscalculation about Fascism. The similarities between the Bin Laden/al Zarqawi Islamofacist movement and the Hitler/Goebles Nazi Fascist movement are striking. Lets hope the conservatives muster up the courageous steel of Churchill and Roosevelt before the entire world is engulfed by the flames of a Global Western-Islamic conflict like the ones we witnessed last week with the French in the land of "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity!"

In medicine a "Purple Heart" is one that has stopped beating, becomes an anoxic purple/bluish color heralding the need for CPR. When a heart stops beating the brain is not getting oxygen. Obviously this man is suffering from anoxia and slipping into a delusion caused by Hypercapnia and Respiratory Acidosis.

The War in Iraq has been very successful when you consider that the Iraqi and Afghani people are following in the footsteps of former enemies Japan and Germany having ratified constitutions in their march toward democracy.

Every American casualty is devastating but in Iraq's Operation Iraqi Freedom, the numbers are relatively small using history as a standard and comparing it to those in all US Wars. We lost more soldiers on D-day and more Americans on 911 than we have in 4 years of war against Al Qaeda and 2 1/2 years of war in Iraq.

It would be a grave mistake to follow John "Chamberlain" Murtha's advice which is a virtual copy of the Blueprint cemented in the annals of historical blunders. Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, abandoned Czechoslovakia with his endorsement of appeasement ensconced in the Munich "Betrayal" Pact .

• Question: Did the capitulation of Czechoslovakia satisfy Adolph Hitler?
  
• Answer: World World II ....50-60 million direct and indirect deaths
  
• Chamberlain played right into Hitler's plan!
  
• Fascists with a Swastika then, Fascists with a headscarf now!
• Murtha plays right into the hands of Bin Laden....

To follow Murtha's vision would mean abandoning Iraq, Afghanistan, millions of Muslims, putting our nation and way of life on the road headed towards the "Ash heap of history." Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher would not have flinched but would have realized how ominous this Islamofascist threat is, fought it just like George W. Bush has! Reagan, Thatcher, and W. Bush are leaders/visionaries whose beating Purple Hearts are not made of Bronze but STEEL! These heads of state are warriors who recognized the human passion for freedom that lives in the Purple Hearts of all human beings and had the courage of their convictions and vision to stoke those embers by risking the blood of our voluntary and Brave Soldiers. Like Cicero said "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious" but

Colonel Murtha you are a flawed Congressmen wrapping yourself in an American Flag pinned with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star!

"The light" and sharp focus of a soldier's eagle-eyed vision has forsaken you after over two decades out of uniform. Sir, the time has come for you to heed the wise words of a Soldier even more decorated than you....

'old soldiers never die; they just fade away' "And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-by......" General Douglas MacArthur
