Oh boy, that's deadly when they perforate the intestine. Painful way to go I've heard. If he had actually agreed to do business with those guys, then how come he was never prosecuted? Reply...

Maybe he was a hero, maybe he was a Military man, but he was also a crook.   And when he told the Arabs,  Maybe sometimes later!!   That meant  he was interested and not turned off by the idea.


I don't think too many feel bad about today.

Murtha said, "I'm not interested... at this point. If we do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested, maybe I won't", right after Murtha had offered to provide names of businesses and banks in his district where money could be invested legally.... Reply...

Marilyn..He was approached by undercover FBI agents, posing as Arabs, offering to bribe him..He turned down their offer, but was taped saying he'd be open to hearing from them again...
nothing definite, nothing indictable..
He's famous for bringing pork projects to his district...
which is the goal of all congressmen...
Grant would like to have you believe that he was corrupt. They tried to pin something on him, but they failed.

Grant's got nothing on Murtha...he DECLINED a bribe..
Whatever he said to them to get them out of his office, is irrelevant...unless you're looking for a nit to pick.
What would you tell a guy you suspected of being a criminal, after declining his invitation to commit a crime?  Anything, just to get him out of your office, that's what. Reply...

John Murtha as chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, the  House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending, was a huge supporter of military spending..till the day he died.
He opposed ending multi billion dollar spending on weaponry deemed unnecessary, by defense secretary Gates...
I am not aware of Rep. Norm Dicks's ideas on that kind of spending, but I hope he'll save the country billions...He will be in a position do to so..

I will take this one Grant...

"If I'm corrupt, it's because I take care of my district."

-Rep. John Murtha (D-PA)

His term was wrought with corruption begininng with Abscam (late 70's and early 80's). His earmarks have gotten into some hot water. In fact there is an in active investigation into his dealings with PMA and KSA. Since the Abscam FBI Sting, Murtha has been under constant ethics scrutiny. Reply...

As far Iraq goes? No, he wanted us out, and tried several times. He wanted to use Haditha to force us out of Iraq.

Anyways, another day of mourning on the capital, my condolences to his family and friends. Reply...

I wonder about some things he said. He was older, obese and not in good health at the end. Do you think he said some things that he really didn't mean, due to his failing health? I know that bad health can really affect a person's mindset and cause them to say and do things that normally they wouldn't. I haven't paid much attention to the man over the years. Was this attitude always a part of him? Reply...

There were times I loved Murtha and times I loathed him.

However the one thing I can't let go of is this quote. "there was no firefight, there was no IED (improvised explosive device) that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."

Which they didn't, and lucky for Murtha you can't sue a official lawmaker for defimation of character, otherwise he would have been paying all his money to those Marines. BTW, they tried to sue, but a Federal Court tossed it.

Here is a comment that maybe interesting Marilyn as well, from Congressman John Kline of Minnesota's 2nd District.
"There is no question that the Marines involved, those doing the shooting, they were busy in lying about it and covering it up — there is no question about it. But I am confident, as soon as the command learned there might be some truth to this, they started to pursue it vigorously. I don't have any reason now to think there was any foot dragging."

Back to Murtha, he however did serve in the military, and achieved the rank of Colonel in the Marines.

His congressional legacy will be marred with all sorts of scandals and corruption. Starting way back in the early 80's.

I did however applaud his efforts to keep the F-22 going. Reply...

ONE OF THE BIGGEST CROOKS IN DC.
FOX NEWS....

A hint of scandal lingered over much of Murtha's career. The FBI named Murtha an "unindicted co-conspirator" in its ABSCAM sting operation in the late 1970s and early '80s. ABSCAM resulted in the conviction of five House members and one senator. The FBI recorded Murtha on videotape declining a $50,000 bribe from federal agents posing as Arab sheiks. But the congressman did say he could be interested in future dealings.


Nicknamed "The King of Pork," Murtha also faced scrutiny for earmarking federal dollars for projects in his district. Numerous news reports lambasted the congressman for steering money to the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport. The facility received $150 million from Washington for upgrades despite limited commercial use. But the airport is also used for military purposes.


The congressman also faced scrutiny for campaign contributions he and other appropriators received from the now defunct PMA lobbying firm. Murtha scored nearly $2.5 million in donations from PMA and its clients over a nearly 20-year period. The feds continue to scrutinize PMA. The Office of Congressional Ethics asked the House ethics committee to drop any inquiries into the dealings Murtha had with PMA.


Murtha also stirred controversy in the fall of 2008 with President Obama poised to become the first African American president. When asked about Mr. Obama's chances in his congressional district, Murtha responded, "There's no question western Pennsylvania is a racist area."
