You mean the U.S. Marines are not cutting and running like the newly MSM appointed General Murtha suggests?

With gunfire, mortar blasts and detonations ringing out across the city, the platoon swept through by day and rested at night. In addition to being the platoon's first combat operation since clearing the city of Sadah in October, Steel Curtain was an opportunity to get to know their Iraqi counterparts. A four-man fire team of Iraqi Army soldiers was attached to each squad in the platoon and it didn't take long for the Marines and Iraqis to bond. "I was very impressed with them personally and professionally," said Sgt. Sean T. Selman, a rifleman and squad leader. "We initially conducted a hand-and-arm signal class to make sure they were on the same page with us, but they were ahead of the game. They knew our procedures for movements, searching and clearing and were just as eager as we were to fight the enemy.
MSM: "Lies all damn lies!!! General Murtha, what's your spin on this?"

“The enemy wants us to quit and this is the only way they can come up with to hurt us,”Sounds like Murtha Democrats and their RINO friends.

It never ceases to amaze me what the military can accomplish, given the opportunity. If you close your eyes and think real hard - not a shallow thought, mind - you can imagine (a little) what they're going through and doing and think, "Wow!" OK, that's my moonbeam moment.

Gotta say I fully approve of this operation.
To: frogjerk
You think Murtha will make a trip to Iraq to visit the troops anytime soon?

I read a comment about Murtha that asked if we should take the word of a low ranked soldier of a war 40 years ago or the words of hundreds of high ranking and highly decorated professionals at the Pentagon.

This is our chance to pay back the people who've been taking shots at us whenever they get a chance.
Hell hath no fury like that of Marine payback (and we all know what payback is right?).
