WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush is using a visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, birthplace of the U.S. Constitution, as a reminder before the Iraqi elections that the path to American democracy was not always easy either.
Pennsylvania also is the home state of a leading Iraq war critic, Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who planned to speak on Bush's heels and repeat his call to bring the troops home from a fight he says has become too violent and out of control...
Iraqis are preparing to vote under tight security to elect a 275-member parliament that will run the country for the next four years. The election will be the first under the new constitution ratified in an October 15 referendum and will complete the steps toward democratization following the ouster of Saddam Hussein's government.
Monday's Iraq speech is Bush's third, part of a campaign to win support for the mission, with most Americans saying in polls that they disapprove of his handling of the war. The speech is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. ET.

Murtha doesn't know the situation in Iraq from a hole in the ground.

This Administration knows far more about politics than you or I. Kind of amazing how a certain handful of Freepers spend all their time lecturing the Administration on what to do here on Free Republic. How about all the "experts" spend their time writing their advice to the White House instead of posting it a few thousand times a day here on Free Republic? A letter to the White House MIGHT be read by someone who can ACTUALLY do something. Writing it here over and over and over and over and over and over is just wasting bandwith.

Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who planned to speak on Bush's heels and repeat his call to bring the troops home from a fight he says has become too violent and out of control... War, too violent and out of control. Go figure. I thought, like it was a fun day at the beach or something.
