House GOP Seeks Quick Vote on Iraq Pullout

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

11-18) 11:46 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) --

House Republicans sought a showdown Friday with Democrats on a proposal by one of their most senior members to force an end to the U.S. deployment of troops in Iraq.

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., offered the resolution demanding a pullout. The GOP-run House was expected to reject it — and make a prominent statement about where Congress stands on Iraq — as the chamber scurried toward a Thanksgiving break.

"We'll let the members debate it and then let them vote on it," said Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the acting majority leader.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's office had no immediate comment.

She was too busy putting on her biometric suit so she would appear somewhat human when she came out to bitch in front of cameras later.

The votes on this one will determine how patriots will vote in 2006 and perhaps 2008. We must urge our reps to vote against a pull-out and then castigate all RATs and RINOS who vote for it. The pull-out idea is identical to what the RATs did in making us back out of Viet Nam, just when we had it won, and we must hold their dirty, cowardly feet to the fire of our criticism and votes next election!

Why does Roy Blunt want to debate the issue, just vote on it and move on. The antiwar activist like leaches have gotten into the DEM's brains. They continue to look for ways to destroy this administration efforts, and are aiding the enemy and putting our guys in harms way.
