Can you say " I am willing to sell out"
The Macon Telegraph | 09/28/2003 | Marshall battles media over Iraq:
"'News media reports about our progress in Iraq have been bleak ...,' Marshall wrote in an opinion piece in Monday's Atlanta Journal Constitution. 'The falsely bleak picture weakens our national resolve, discourages Iraqi cooperation and emboldens our enemy. ... We may need a few credible Baghdad Bobs to undo the harm done by our media. I'm afraid it is killing our troops.'"

Bibb Republican Party Chairman Debbie Lyons applauds Marshall's stand.
"We're at war. You have got to put this country before politics," Lyons said. "The negativity coming out not only from the media but from Democratic loyalists is hurting our troops and killing our troops."
Lyons said she shared similar concerns in a letter she wrote that was published in The Telegraph. She challenged Marshall to also spread that message to his colleagues.
"We need him to take it one step further to Teddy Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Tom Daschle and the candidates running in the Democratic primary," Lyons said.

and finally.....

Marshall was the newest member of the House invited on the Iraq trip and to a White House meeting Thursday with Rice, the national security adviser. His Iraqi stance has even caught the eye of Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz.
"I appreciated your op-ed very much. I read it with great interest," Wolfowitz told Marshall, according to the committee transcript.
When asked about all the attention the freshman congressman is receiving, Marshall said, "I just want to be helpful to our soldiers."

yeah, right.....
