"Our troops have become the enemy. We need to change direction in Iraq," said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Democratic hawk whose call a day earlier for pulling out troops sparked a nasty, personal debate over the war.
If Murtha is a "Democratic hawk," there's no significant difference between an American Democrat and a French politician.
Now can I question his patriotism?
If those are the words of a "Democratic Hawk"....what words does it take to be a Democratic Chicken Hawk?
The loss of nerve, the loss of a will to fight, is a pitiful thing to see happen to a once proud man.
bttt
Sounds like it's time for Rep. Murtha to step down.
Either that or he should be tried for treason.
I wonder if the average Iraqi woman, whose status has been lower than the family goat up until now, would agree with him.
It's not a retreat. It's a change in direction!!!!!!
