Uh, any 'withdrawal' will have nothing to do with newspaper folderol or Jack Murtha. It is already happening as part of the ongoing plan. These people would call for the sun to come up in the morning...and take credit when it does.
Unless they got sunburned, in which case they would blame Bush.
This is exactly right. The idiotic MSM refused or was just too plain stupid to ask the great Murtha some simple question when he recently predicted that the majority of troops would be out by the end of the year - "Cong. Murtha, if you believe that's the case, then why a big annoucement by you that the troops should be strategically redeployed? Weren't you simply calling for what you knew was going to happen, anyway? Was this part of a democratic plan to take credit for the inevetible troop withdrawal when it happens?"
He should have done something really bold, like demand we hold a Presidential election by 2008 and GWB not be allowed to be a candidate!
