A triumphant Rep. John Murtha describes what will happen if he’s elected Majority Leader, to a sympathetic interviewer at NPR: Murtha to Run for Majority Leader in New Congress. (Hat tip: John.)
Regarding Iraq:
Winning is not a strategy, victory is not a strategy.
What the Dems will do:
We’re gonna say, here’s a plan that we have, and Speaker Pelosi has signed on to the plan I have, stability in the Middle East, stability in Iraq comes from redeployment of our troops, and that’s gonna be what we’ll work for.
On the Presidency:
Listen, this is not a dictatorship. The President can say all he wants to. The President has, has no power. The President is a, a perception of power. And he’s lost that power in this election.
O THIS is gonna be fun.
What a traitor!
"I'M runnin' things now"
Winning and victory are goals, not strategies.
By this standard, what's the strategy and the goal of the Islamic fascists? How realistic is their goal, and how realistic are their strategies towards that end?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Why couln't he have just been beaten and slunk away in the dead of night? It's bad enough we have nancy pelosi in line for the White House, but we have to still listen to murtha. This is just too depressing.
Brilliant political strategy, this message sending really works!!
Thank the RINO republicans and the deaf and dumb Republican leadership who refused to listen to its constituency about trying to act like Conservatives.
Murtha or any other congresscritter can't deploy our troops anywhere. That's a decision made by the CINC. They can cut off funding...but they don't get to move troops around.
Look, enough with this crap. We all voted, OK?
Please tell me this is a nightmare, and I will wake up soon to find the sane people still in charge.
Murtha doesnt care. He just wants America to lose.
Murtha doesnt care. He just wants America to lose.
"The President can say all he wants to. The President has, has no power. The President is a, a perception of power. And he’s lost that power in this election."
What is he sniffing?
He sounds like that Baldrick character from "Black Adder": "I have a cunning plan..."
Oh Gawd! We are in trouble!
Pelosi spoke their position quite well the other day, "this is not a war to win, it's a situation to solve."
God help us and protect our troops in the field.
