Because CNN is going to ignore everything the republicans say, and just cover Murtha -- and then tell everybody how stupid the GOP is.

This is an out and out attack on Bush and the military, disguised as a "bring 'em home" resolution.

I feel like all is lost when they can stand up there and turn things on their heads.

LOL it has to be so. Weldon is my rep too. We're sort of on the front lines with Philly here.

Why is my version of C-SPAN running behind what others on here are watching? Weldon is not up yet.

Exactly. HE should know that this crap builds up the enemy and keeps them hanging on longer. HIS doing this is worse than having a simple civilian do it.

He's part of the "Main Street" Republicans that can't be trusted.

We are now in a new fiscal year for recruitment. We are on track now, but he is right it is because the Army lowered the standards. Of course, if there was more support at home for what the troops were doing, we wouldn't have a recruiting problem.... AND HE KNOWS IT!

The war is not going as advertised. We were told by Rats that 50,000 troops were going to be killed by Sadaam and his WMD and urban warfare.

Who is that guy behind Murtha chewing gum?!

I don't know, but the blond broad behind him is the Long Island Congresswoman who get elected on her husband's and son's abilities to take a bullet, or several.

I assume Weldon was giving Murtha a chance to save face.

Murtah may be sincere, but he is not doing this country any good right now.

He's also lying about the stats!

The Army is pro­jected to fall just 7,000 (about 9 percent) short of its 2005 recruitment goal, which is less than 1 per­cent of the overall military of over 1 million person­nel. Furthermore, there is the unexpected rise in re-enlistment rates. In other words, the total force strength is about what it should be.

This is the last gasp of an old hack that doesn`t have a clue on how to beat the terrorists. He either doesn`t understand or doesn`t care about a repeat of 9/11.

Murtha's partisanship has overcome his patriotism.

At least now Murtha is pointing out that everybody knew before the war that there would be WMD used against them.

Of course, he won't say his fellow democrats are lying about the president now, will he. But that is what he was saying.

"Who is that guy behind Murtha chewing gum?!"

LOL. I didn't notice that.

By the way, is this the British parliament? The democrats behind Murtha are acting like it is.
