See 7641. Murtha said, "It's time to bring the troops home. "
All the newspapers said he was calling for an "Immediate Withdrawl"... I did't see Patriot Murtha call a news conference to set the record straight did you?
He meant cut and run ASAP... to say otherwise is to try to lessen the blow they were dealt tonight.
Exactly.
A Murtha interview:
MARGARET WARNER: Finally, Congressman, do you think the fact that you as a defense hawk have now come to this position, do you think this represents a tipping point? Are you hearing from other Democrats who voted for the war that they're coming to this view themselves?
REP. JOHN MURTHA: I hope this is a watershed. I hope a lot of people think about what I've said and we can begin to withdraw our troops immediately from that area and put them on the horizon, or over the horizon, so if they have to they can go back in.

Notice he says "withdraw our troops immediately " in there.
Yikes.
I bet St.Chuck isn't gonna like that.
