Talk about spin.

I'd agree that the whole hearing was purely political bs though.
You missed the part were she added his name. She said that the marine said "marines stay and fight the battle, cowards like Rep. John Murtha cut and run." That just blew my mind that she would actually say that about a guy that did what he did. Regardless of his political views that guy deserves respect. She later on asked for that comment to be taken from record but still...

Oh one more thing, it was pretty entertaining for once to watch. I honestly wish it was more like this more often maybe then the general populace would be more intrested in what is going on in their government and maybe educate themselves about it.

Of course, everybody thinks he called for "immediate pullout" because that's how the administration and the media spun it.

He never said that.

For the unwilling to search: A vast majority of all media outlets (and the entirety of the major ones) are owned by 7 corporations...overwhelmingly supporters of republican candidates and the RNC.
