"The press is pretending that Rep. John Murtha had been a longtime, staunch supporter of the Iraq war right up until yesterday's "shocking reversal," when the Pennsylvania Democrat abruptly called for an immediate U.S. pull out.

In fact, Murtha began advocating a cut-and-run strategy way back in May 2004 - after U.S. forces had been in Iraq just a little more than a year"

Gotta love the Pajama Media!

I look back ruefully at all those years when the media could keep us in the dark.

I think Druge reported that after about 6 mos of the Iraq war, Murtha claimed it was "unwinable". I don't know about you, but that's not "supporting the war" to me.
