WASHINGTON — Rep. Jack Murtha, who re-ignited the debate over Iraq with a proposal last month to begin a fast drawdown of troops in Iraq, said Wednesday that President Bush has lost credibility with the public over his Iraq policy.
"I'm showing you that I don't see the kind of progress he sees. ... I don't know that you can call him dishonest, but certainly, the public is not buying it," Murtha, D-Pa., said just hours after Bush delivered a speech on economic progress in Iraq.
Murtha renewed his call for redeployment of troops, laying out what he said was another option for victory in Iraq. He said he's convinced that the United States cannot win the war militarily, and prefers their fast removal and the use of diplomatic means to support rebuilding in Iraq.
Murtha is among a number Democratic critics who continue to meet the president's National Strategy for Victory in Iraq with a point-for-point opposition that has helped solidify opposition to the U.S. presence there. Earlier in the day, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi led criticism of the president's plan.

What despicable traitors they are!!!
I saw a clip of Murtha's remarks last night...he suggested we pull out and redeploy in a perimeter at a safe distance, from which we could go back in if need be. He mentioned two places as the perimeter, can't recall either named, but the second -- I must have heard wrong or else Murtha's publicly losing it -- the second was about half a world away from the Middle East. I was busy picking my jaw up off the floor. Maybe the dems will curtail Murtha's speechifying.
Murtha is my candidate for the First Annual Lord Haw-Haw award. (Katie Couric gets my vote for the First Annual Tokyo Rose award.)
Well, it's kinda hard for them to see anything with their heads shoved so firmly up their behinds.
I saw a billboard somewhere in NH last weekend asking people to go to Kerry's website for his "plan for Iraq." Anybody seen it?
Yes! Okinawa! Better yet, the moon!
The dems' reactions are so predictable. Here come the latest round of Iraqi elections and dems have nothing encouraging to say. The last elections and purple fingers held high -- Iraqis who walked for hours braving death threats to vote -- gave them (and the MSM), a stroke. They're down on their knees every night praying for catastrophe because they don't have a clue. How to get back in power when the voters turn you down...play the Vietnam card. It's all they know, that and Watergate. So they play it over and over and don't count the lives lost. Out of their minds.
I don't know that you can call him dishonest, but...
I don't know that we can call Murtha a traitor, but...

Oh hell yes Jack, another Vietnam is what you want.
Declare victory, and let the UN handle the rebuilding.
The UN's stellar record can only be compared to that of
the democrats. Losers both.
By next year the swine will have toned down the rhetoric to save face. They can always count on their idiot followers to forget any inconvenient facts.
What other conclusion does one expect
from the frustrated Dims? They are
*allways* *WRONG*.
They are still Pissed that they aren't
going to get the french benefits they'd
hung their hopes on.
Murtha could have stopped at, "I'm showing you that I don't see."
The insurgents have accomplished one goal, however; they have succeeded in enlisting the Democratic party to fight for their cause.
What Democrats see is VICTORY for our side in Iraq, and withdrawal is the only way to change the outcome.
My opinion is that if this devolves into a shooting war over here, then the traitorous dimlibs, having proved their loyalty to the enemy, will be targets just as legitimate as the rad muzzies.
"No politicians are ‘credible’..."
From the Merriam-Webster online dictionary:
Politician: pol-i-ti-cian
2b: a person primarily interested in political office for selfish or other narrow usually short-sighted reasons.
Statesman: stats-m&n
2: one who exercises political leadership wisely and without narrow partisanship.
Seems like we've got a whole lot of the former and precious few of the latter.
