Murtha Says Americans Back Iraq Pullout

Breitbart.com ^ | 11-21-2005 | DAN LOVERING

[Mr Ramsbotham]

But if we pullout now, and Iraq goes into chaos, they will have fought and died for nothing.

Not only that, but we will be back again, at an even higher cost in blood and money.

[Grampa Dave]

Looks like we have the basis for our own deck of cards: THE MOST REVILED.

Zacs Mom, there is a creative challenge for your skills. The deck would be a best seller.

[Dustbunny]

I don't know what 20 people he is talking about, the other 20 million don't think so.

[Jeff Head]

Already put to an accurate vote in November, 2004.

Absolutely spot on! Right in the middle of the ring. We must constantly remind folks of this and hammer it home. The systems works. It worked and we are going forward with that official tally until something changes it...as well we should.

This has nothing to do with what the people want. It is all about the liberal-demos lust for power and control. Nothing more.

WHAT OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF HAS LED US TO IN IRAQ

[Para-Ord.45]

Rush Limbaugh today," THEY (DEMOCRAT PRTY) ARE COWARDS !"

[fish hawk]

Does this mean that American wants the pull out but he doesn't? (he didn't vote for the pull out) What a spineless a-hole.

[M1Tanker]

He doesn't speak for this soldier, nor most any other soldier I know, with the exception of a VERY few who came in brainwashed by their leftist teachers. A dose of reality tended to end their leftist views, especially when they saw what the MSM and leftist traitors were really doing.

[stuartcr]

No, I mean going to war. There has never been, to my knowledge, an actual vote, by the people, on whether or not we should go to war.

How can something done today, soil/undo what was done yesterday?

[Question_Assumptions]

"The public turned against this war before I said it," Murtha said. "The public is emotionally tied into finding a solution to this thing, and that's what I hope this administration is going to find out."

I could care less about how the public feels. What do they think, or aren't they able to think anymore?

[Uddercha0s]

Thank you for your service! I suspect those soldiers that he does speak for are the ones who "signed up" for a free education and benefits but never bothered to read the rest of the contract.

[BadAndy]

Read the tagline Murtha. Then go eat a salad, fatso.

[ZULU]

A lot of Americans supported the Crown back in 1776. A lot of Americans didn't want to fight in the Civil War - Lincoln nearly didn't elected in his second term.

Foreign policy can't be dictated by popular whim which changes from day to day, but but by informed, intelligent, determined and frequently hard decisions, or we will wind up like the Athenians in the Peloppensian War.

[DustyMoment]

This should have been accompanied with a "Murtha-Off-His-Meds" Alert.

[shhrubbery!]

Murtha Says Americans Back Iraq Pullout

Well, duh. 100% of Americans back an Iraq pullout --when the time is right. Including President Bush.

I saw a poll last week that showed 70+% of Americans REJECT an immediate pullout of troops from Iraq.

So I don't know what polls Murtha's talking about. Sounds like he's conflating, deliberately, the ones that ask about general approval of the war, vs. those that ask when pullout is appropriate.

[Adder]

There are a lot of ways to spell it! And say it, I reckon.

My "second home" was not too far from Johnstown...Central City...ever hear of it? Not many have.

mmmm pirohi...[however you spell it!]

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Methinks Murtha is in deep, deep legal do do with his kickback schemes from defense contractors. He is seeking preparedness to yell he is being persecuted when the house of cards collapses around his sorry arse.

They just missed him in the Abscam sting, but his brother's lobbying efforts with Murtha's pressure on companies to funnel cash to said brother, is about to break loose.

[A message]

Your logic is not clear.

I do not recall a "vote" by each colonist to go war against Great Britain.

Nor do I recall a vote by the citizens of the nation to go to war against Nazi Germany and Totalitarian Japan.

You seem to be one of those people who conveniently forget we were attacked on 9/11/01 and many previous times before that.

The Iraq front is a CAMPAIGN OF A GREATER WAR.

Should the citizens of this nation have voted on the Italian front in WWII, how about the Normandy front or the Island Hopping strategy.

Iraq is a military front line just as Afghanistan is.

We elect Presidents for one significant purpose. To defend the nation. That is what a Presidents job is to do. Not blow with the wind, but defend the nation.

Sheesh

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Battle of The Bulge, over 16,000 Americans died in six weeks of combat.

[sgtbono2002]

Ho can he be so sure and yet not have enough courage in his conviction to vote for his own idea.

Is there anybody up there on the Hill that knows what the hell they are doing?

[Republican Wildcat]

Oh, is that the case? Links?

I just bet you will turn out to be correct.
