Actually Murtha's speech was very impressive. Thank goodness that no one is watching. I disagree with his overall conclusion, but Murtha raised some damn good points about lack of supplies, resources stretched thin, etc. The jury is still out on Rumsfeld (though I'm not about to trash him and he could end up being proven right, there are legitimate questions about his strategy.) Murtha may well have popped off to preemptively get some cover before a scandal breaks out. Or maybe his concerns are 100% legitimate. I don't know, and still support the President, but he can't be dismissed simply as an ineffective lightweight (unlike many of the nasty catcalling yahoo's over on the Dem side of the aisle.)

What are the legitimate questions about Rumsfeld's strategy?

"but Murtha raised some damn good points about lack of supplies, resources stretched thin, etc."

good points? how come we only hear that crap from agenda driven politicians and rarely if ever from those in the field? Maybe because it's a canard?
