Back a couple weeks ago when Murtha started to spew his bile for the Democrat Party I wrote about MN Rep John Kline (Col. USMC Ret). Interestingly enough he was in Iraq at the time. John Hinderocker at Powerline Blog interviewed Col. Kline and he made some interesting comments especially considering Kline’s subdued demeanor.

Howard Dean’s casual comment that we can’t win is not just irresponsible, it really is a betrayal of the trust of our men and women in uniform. That’s what makes me so angry about Jack Murtha, more than any of the others, because he was a Vietnam vet, and he did serve many years in the Marine reserve and he ought to know better. Howard Dean, I just have so little regard for his opinion on anything, but he is the leader of the Democrat party, and for him to come out and say that is certainly irresponsible, but even more than that, I think it is harmful to our service men and women, it is a betrayal of their trust, it is very damaging to our allies.

Be sure to read John’s posting at Powerline. I think Col. Kline has quite abit more lucidity or sanity to his observations than Rep. John Murtha.
