Iraq War Watch: Congressman Johnson Pleads for the Troops

Powerline: Congressman Johnson Pleads for the Troops

The last Republican to speak against the Democrats’ anti-surge, pro-defeat resolution yesterday was Sam Johnson of Texas. Johnson was a pilot who flew something like 90 combat missions in Korea and Vietnam. He was shot down over North Vietnam and spent seven years as a POW, most of that time in solitary confinement. He returned to the U.S. in 1973 and was elected to Congress in 1991.

And what does Representative Jack Murtha have to say to this patriot?

Come on Jack, tell the troops that your selfish and foolish pride wants to undercut their mission in Iraq – with a SLOW BLEED strategy.

If you only had the COJONES – OLD MAN……….
