OK, we should take a bet -- Next February, how many times will we hear a democrat call for support of anything Murtha says.

I'll vote for 0.

Murtha interview on CNN; judging from this interview, he's loving this.

Says he's the one who found the missing equipment, etc.

Needless to say, CNN isn't showing any GOPers refuting what he's saying.

I did, in fact, note the quotes around the word attacking. And I thought It was a shrewd observation. Hyde's comments were very shrewd, IMHO, as well.

" ABC news just said Murtha explained he wasn't calling for immediate withdrawal but phased withdrawal."

From Murtha's website.
My plan calls:

To immediately redeploy U.S. troops consistent with the safety of U.S. forces.
To create a quick reaction force in the region.
To create an over- the- horizon presence of Marines.

Apparently, he wants to withdraw immediately, but, leave the Marines close by, so they can go right back in .

To: Sam Hill

Sam--from what I've read here, Murtha is right behind Robert Byrd in the number of public works named after him.

What bothered me too is Tom Lantos speaking so highly of him. Tom Lantos was rescued from a Nazi concentration camp by American forces in 1945.

We were losing men at a high rate in 1945. If we had a Murtha moment in Feb. 1945 and redeployed away from the Nazis, Tom Lantos would have not seen 1946.

Of all people, he should know what is at stake here.

I am still reeling from reading the comment that Murtha told the interviewer that terrorism BEGAN against us when we invaded Iraq and abused our power at Abu Ghraib!!!!!!

HE IS SICK IN THE JOHN KERRY STYLE!

We had better call our reps and let um know about this interview!

My Gawd. The Democrats are channeling Ronald Reagan!

They're for patriotism, the troops, America, fiscal responsibility, reduction of the deficit, giving the troops new equipment...

Is my name Rip Van Winkel, and did I just wake up?

Exactly what I would like to know. Since his little speech yesterday, he has been saying 80% of Iraqis want us out. This is absolute BS! These people have a major vote coming up and the last thing they want is to become the target of insurgents who would seek out all these "democratic" supporting people.

I can't wait for the vote. Here's where the rubber will meet the road.

A big hug to the first freeper who posts the roll call by individual votes.

I love that. I wish all the Republicans would stand up and start their speaches with, our exit strategy is VICTORY! We will not lose! We must not lose! Those who want to withdraw are losers, and that just isn't American.
