Moonbat Jack Offers No Credit to the Troops on Zarqawi

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), possibly the most openly treasonous member of a government ever to escape execution, has shown his support for the troops once again by questioning whether they deserve any credit for ridding the world of al-Qaeda's top terrorist in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

When asked if it was fair to say that taking out al-Zarqawi wouldn't have happened without U.S. troops on the ground, Murtha sneered:

I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure they couldn't have done it from the outside. If it's as portrayed, it was a bomb that killed him from the air, so I'm not sure about that.

Granted Murtha is not one of the brightest bulbs in Congress, but even he probably understands that there is more to killing terrorists that pushing a button so that a bomb will fall out of nowhere and land on them. Even with a significant military presence, it took years to get al-Zarqawi. Without American boots on the ground to track down the rat and mark the target, al-Zarqawi would have lived to be as fat and feeble as Murtha.

So can't we give the troops and their mission a little bit of credit, after such a remarkable accomplishment?

Of course not. As champagne corks popped throughout the sane world, Murtha sulked:

We cannot win this. It's a civil war.

Sorry Jack. Al-Zarqawi wanted a civil war too, but our troops didn't give him time to bring one about. America is winning whether liberals like it or not.
