Point of this thread is to mock the dottering old fool that is Jack Murtha and to bluntly suggest that he be treated like an old senile dog, and be put down.

Murtha was admitted to the hospital after suffering from abdominal pains in December 2009.[7] Murtha had surgery to remove his gallbladder in late January 2010; a week later, he was admitted to the intensive care unit due to complications from the surgery.[8] He died on February 8, 2010.[9]

Murtha was first hospitalized with gallbladder problems for a few days in December 2009, and had surgery January 28 at Bethesda Naval Hospital, where "doctors inadvertently cut Mr. Murtha's intestine during the laparoscopic surgery, causing an infection."[65] Due to the complication, he was again hospitalized two days later, and died on the afternoon of February 8, 2010, in the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Virginia with his family by his side.[66]

"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day."

The Haditha incident occurred on November 19, 2005, and since then there have been differing accounts of exactly what took place.

In November 2005 Murtha announced that a military investigation into the Haditha killings concluded U.S. Marines had intentionally killed innocent civilians.[35] Referring to the first report about Haditha[36] that appeared in Time magazine, Murtha said:[37]

"It's much worse than reported in Time magazine. There was no fire fight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. And that's what the report is going to tell."

The Marine Corps responded to Murtha's announcement by stating that "there is an ongoing investigation; therefore, any comment at this time would be inappropriate and could undermine the investigatory and possible legal process."[38] Murtha was criticized by conservatives for presenting a version of events as simple fact before an official investigation had been concluded.[39]

In August 2006, Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich filed a lawsuit against Murtha for character defamation during an ongoing investigation into the Haditha incident. In April 2009 this suit was dismissed by a federal appeals court, which ruled that Murtha could not be sued because he was acting in his official role as a lawmaker when he made the statements.[40]

On December 21, 2006, the US military charged Wuterich with 12 counts of unpremeditated murder against individuals and one count of the murder of six people "while engaged in an act inherently dangerous to others".[41] Charges were subsequently dropped against seven of the eight Marines involved: Capt. Lucas McConnell,[42] Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani,[43] Sgt. Sanick Dela Cruz,[44] Lance Corporal Stephen Tatum,[45] Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, Capt. Randy Stone and 1st Lt. Andrew Grayson. Only Sergeant Frank Wuterich is still facing trial on 9 counts of involuntary manslaughter.[46]

We are not supposed to speak ill of the dead. But those whom the deceased viciously smeared and humiliated deserve to be defended. Entrenched Democratic Rep. John Murtha passed away on Feb. 8 after a botched gallbladder surgery.
He has been hailed as a "military advocate" (Associated Press) and "one of the greatest patriots ever to serve in Congress" (former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr.). These obsequious obituaries leave out inconvenient truths:

John "Jack" Murtha was an unrepentant smear merchant and corruptocrat to the bitter end.

But if it DIDN'T clear them, they'd be really REALLY guilty, right?

Apparently the reason they didn't go ahead with charges was the lack of Iraqis willing to come forward to American investigators... maybe an Iraqi investigation would bear a different result...

---

Oh yeah. Kinda like a black man on trial for murder, in Mississippi, circa 1950? Sure, that'd be completely above board and on the level.

Not something I would condemn Murtha over, unless it was the lack of pushing for a non US military investigation.

Naww...... didn't expect as much.
