Even Russert's interjections or whatever they are are in a quiet, almost deferential voice. He plays another Rove comment and then gives Murtha a "chance to respond to the White House." This appearance is a disgrace. Murtha says we can redeploy to Okinawa almost instantly. Tim points out that it could take a while to come from Okinawa. Murtha stutters...could get there with cruise missles and fighter aircraft. He repeats that the killing of Zarqawi was done from the outside.
He seems to believe that air power alone can accomplish everything.
I'm sure Murtha has this all cleared with the PM of Japan. LOL! The idea that we could redeploy a significant number of troops to Okinawa (60,000?) is totally ridiculous. Japan wants our current troop levels in Okinawa reduced even further and is spending billions to help get them relocated to Guam.....surely Murtha's staff must know this.
