Doublespeak “build down.”
I like this part too “Murtha said he is adamant that President George W. Bush needs to sign recent legislation to fund troops and begin bringing them home.”
"This war is going to end in the next year or so."
...while the war continues, he is in favor of a draft.
Murtha actually thinks we could enact legislation, mobilize a national conscription effort, and get draftees trained and ready to serve within the next 12 months...only to ship them all off to Okinawa?
