WASHINGTON, June 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a release from the Republican National Committee:
"Today, Congressman John Murtha continued to demonstrate an inability to comprehend that surrendering the central front in the War on Terror is not a strategy to defeat the terrorists. Murtha Democrats believe America can't win in Iraq by taking the fight to the terrorists on the ground, but seem to think retreating and fighting from places like Okinawa can achieve victory. John Murtha can focus his attacks on the Commander-in- Chief, however President Bush and Republicans will focus on taking the fight to those who intend to do us harm." -- Danny Diaz, RNC Deputy Communications Director
REP. JOHN MURTHA (D-PA): "WE CAN'T WIN"
Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) Still Pessimistic, Still Supports Withdrawal From Iraq:
Rep. John Murtha: "But there comes a time when you got to change direction, there comes a time when you have to say to yourself, ok, we've done everything we could do. We can't win this militarily." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 6/18/06)
-- Rep. Murtha: "We need to change direction. We can't win a war like this." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 6/18/06)
-- Rep. Murtha: "We don't have to be right there. We can go to Okinawa. We can redeploy there almost instantly. That's a fallacy. That's just a statement to rile up people to support a failed policy wrapped in illusion." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 6/18/06)

traitor
Some enterprising counter-protestor should go to one of these lib rallies and start the chant "We Can't Win"... let that be the slogan of the Democrats!
Time to put the old fart out to pasture.

Excellent rebuttal to Murtha's rants.
That was one of the locations that murtha wanted to "redeploy" our troops to. From there, they could "quickly" go back in if it were necessary.
I have no idea what he think being in Okinawa can do for us.
In other words, he's testing to see if all out carnage breaks loose. And if it does and thousands die, the government goes under, and the police force is in tatters, we should redeploy.
It's beyond moronic.
I think he meant Guam, but he failed to correct himself (even though Tim gave him a chance). I don't think Okinawa wants 100,000 more troops hanging out there anyway.
I'd hate to be in his shoes on the day after the election.
He won't be able to see them for the long sleeves and all the buckles on his new straight jacket...
I like that idea a lot
Is Murtha really that stupid?
And since when did this lowly career obscure Congressman become an expert on foreign policy and military affairs?
One thing we must know from this war in Iraq: the 'Rats want our country to lose, and they'll do or say almost anything to make that happen.
The next time someone so much as thinks about voting 3rd party or staying home, I hope they'll remember that. They'll be handing over the country to people who want it destroyed.
Ann Coulter is right.
