A democracy like ours tolerated being attacked for over ten years by Al Queda--and our lack of response was viewed as cowardice. No matter what Murtha's reasons are to call for withdrawal, the only "translation" that the terrorists will receive is that the US is too cowardly to maintain the fight and we are all "peace moms" like Cindy Sheehan and peace daddys like Dennis Kucinich (sp?)who beg that their poor little boys not have to be sent to fight or die for a cause greater than themselves.

Caving in to this "peace thru appeasement" crowd is far too dangerous: think how many MILLIONS of lives could have been spared if the great "peacemaker" Neville Chamberlain had stood up to Hitler when "der Furher" invaded Czechloslovakia. Hitler could have then been defeated--but because of the political lack of will to stand up and face reality, the entire world suffered a tragedy that Churchill called the "unnecessary war"--because it could have SO EASILY been averted if the Allies had done more than just wring their hands about Hitler.

Tonight the Pubbies did not "go wobbly" and forced the Dems to play a losing hand. I am proud of them, no matter what the Dems do or say in the next few days. It was time to call the Dems' bluff and it felt good to watch it.

The vote to not stop the war will send a good message to the troops--and that is what really makes me feel good. Murtha will be no hero to them, no matter how much he says he cares about them. He is waving a white flag over their heads while they are still in the heat of battle--and that is despicable! Now the Congress has said "No Way" to Murtha--and that is the message that will reverberate past the beltway to around the world. HOOAH!!!
