Representative John Murtha's bill, the first to demand an immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, stunned officials in Washington.
The veteran US lawmaker said that the US military operation in Iraq is a lost cause.
"Our military has done everything that has been asked of them, the US cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily," said Murtha, a Vietnam War veteran considered more hawkish than most members of his party.
"It's time to bring them home," Murtha said.
His resolution came two days after the Senate approved a Republican measure requiring the White House provide quarterly updates on the pace of military and policy gains in Iraq, in a signal that anxiety over the Iraq operation was spreading to members of Bush's own party.

A Traitor's Tirade: Rep. John Murtha Soils The Corps (Gunny Bob)
All we are saaaaaaaying is give appeasement a chance!
C'mon, Liberals! You know the words...sing along!
I demand Representative John Murtha's total pullout from American politics.
His voters should be ashamed.
Oh, fer cryin out loud...the last time the rats wanted a pullout we got Jimmy Carter.
The Dems are very aggressive and fighting very hard to have a total surrender take place.
Do you have a link for that?
Too true. It is what every democrat wants. A war started by the US that ends in the defeat of the US. It would soothe them a little after the defeat of communism.
These cowards make me physically ill. They really want us to surrender? To let the terrorists win? How can such a this possibly be a positive devolopement for us?
Go to Drudge. He's got a link at the top of his page.
That's, what, like being "more sane than Mary Mapes"?
The Dems called this a quagmire, another Vietnam. Well it wasn't until recently.
We are now in the Vietnamization of Iraq, thanks to the Dems. And now a new generation can watch as the Democrats do what they do so well.
Sell our troops and the nation out.
If the 2005 version of the Dems were in charge in 1941, we would be speaking a combination of Japanese and German. Where have the real men gone?
The Dems got Vietnam going. The Dems then changed their minds and demanded a pull-out, leaving millions to die and yet they can somehow sleep at night with no haunting guilt.
After 911 there was a short time that I thought that all Americans could see the battles before us and appeared to be very patriotic. Then I thought to myself, "How many hours or days before the spineless liberals will again change their mushy minds and again cause the slaughter of millions more and yet sleep peacefully with no guilt?"
DemoCraps, and a few RINOs, are traitors.
When they actually win a national election again, we may reconsider their "demands".
In a saner time, if the 2005 Dims had been around saying and doing what they are now, they would have been shot or hung for treason. Let saner times return.
I say bring it to a vote tomorrow.
Tell me about it. I live in Philly, a Dem hellhole if there ever was one, and it's sickening to see the apathy and outright hostility toward the WOT. It's an attitude of "they won't bother us if we don't bother them". 9/11 is forgotten, sadly enough.
Dwmocrats make me wanna puke
These "people", the RATS, are sick, disgusting traitors against the FREEDOM of ALL people in the entire WORLD
I wish people who just refer to them as Democrats. I have yet to see any actual rat screw over its own kind in hopes that it will bring about the ultimate destruction of its own society.
I've worked with rats and I've worked with Democrats. Between the two, the latter is the only truly dumb animal.
And gain political power thereby. This is all about 2006, because if they don't change things before the Iraqi government gets in and the troops start to come home they're in for another decade of irrelevancy. They truly would sell the nation out to avoid that.
It's about 2008 as well. If they can't regain the House and Senate before that another Clinton presidency isn't going to accomplish much.
I guess no one told them there will be "Substantial penalties for early withdrawal.
Maybe if the liberal's lost their loved one's in 9-11 they would be singing a different tune. We lost 3 people that we knew personally and I can tell you that their people want the terrorist caught wherever they are and they are glad that Bush is in to get the job done. The liberal's are for sure freeze dried 1960 children all growed up and still stuck in the vietnam era. What brainless cowards that they are. They can't even say "thank you" to a soldier, sailor or marine. I know my husband spent years in vietnam and when he did come home they spat on him and didn't even thank him for his service. glad those days are left behind.
The sad (wait, it's much more serious and beyond "sad") thing is, It is going to get your grandchildren, and their kids killed. The sooner people understand what is going on the planet, the better, the longet it takes, the more the blood floeing into the oceans.
Foxglove;
Sadly, those days are the days these traitors charish.
They charish the days victory become defeat, and near a million people, -in some places complete genocide of ancient tribes- were wiped off the planet.
Thanks Jane, John Kerry.
I gree 100% Bob.
Put it to a vote. A binding referendum. Let's the Democrats own the history of a collosal failure once the troops get pulled.
But mostly, I think they'd go wobbly. They don't have the courage. They know as well as we do that pulling out the troops would go down as one of the biggest military blunders in history. Its better for them this way..the get to grip constantly, and when the whole thing turns out well, they'll claim its because of the pressure they put on Bush to "do it right", even though they never give a specific answer as to WHAT THE HELL THAT MEANS!
I would love to watch them squirm at a binding referendum vote. They know perfectly well what their base wants, and they also know it would be suicide to vote in that way.
Ah. Murtha has maybe some intel indicating that his "favorite" tribe in Iraq is seizing control by force?
I'm in full agreement with your remarks. It should be noted that the MSM is also executing a full court press to destroy Bush right now. All the little marxists have a vested interest.
