Best damn news this week.....get the appeasers on the record.

Peach ....watch this....the DEMS are going to run for the hills and throw the biggest fit you ever saw.

[NormsRevenge]

The Cut&Run Party aka CommieRats Concubine forced to put its future and "integrity" on the line if this vote happens.

Good! Bring It On!!!

[yldstrk]

They gaddam better not show their yeller bellies around people with real spines...

[Dems_R_Losers]

I'll bet the Dems move for adjournment before allowing this to come to a vote, and if that doesn't work they will try to tie up the House in all kinds of procedural motions.

DNC LURKERS: MURTHA HAS STAKED OUT A POSITION.... OK BUCKOS.... TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP.....YOU WANT TO CUT AND RUN.....VOTE TO DO SO!!!!

[frogjerk]

Some members of the House and Senate, looking ahead to off-year elections next November, are publicly worrying about a quagmire there this being a quagmire for them personally.

This resolution will suspiciously be "lost" and the MSM will conveniently forget all about it...

If there is going to be a debate, can someone with ping lists start a live thread?

I need to go make popcorn!

[Reagan Man]

Its a great idea. Get everyone on record now. Lets see who really supports the troops and who wants to cut and run from Iraq. My guess is, around 385 house members would probably say, stay the course. There must be 50 hardcore lefties in the house waiting to make Michael Moore, George Soros and John Murtha happy.

[Dog]

We sure will have a live thread.

[sissyjane]

I might have to open a bottle of wine to go with my popcorn!! Woo-Hoo!

LET'S ROLL!!

[teddyballgame]

Yep, put these turkeys on record. When forced to put their name to a vote - they know where the American people stand. Lets see how united the DemocRATS front is?!?

[Ouderkirk]

They (DNC leadership) got to Murtha and told him if he wants to get reelected he better get back on the reservation or else the will oppose him in a primary or outright not offer him any financial support. You can bet the farm on this one

[edcoil]

Finally, something I can agree with the GOP with.

I say go for it, we need to see where the Congress is on this issue and stop all the harping.

My guess is it will not happen.

[federal]

please ping me if this gets to the floor.......

[Redbob]

So, Murtha was a "Marine" for 37 years, during most of which he was also a Congresscritter?

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of military experience there, bucko!
</extreme sarcasm>

[Peach]

Oh -- that's an interesting strategy.

It seems the left has forgotten that Osama has mentioned what paper tigers American are and referred to the Mogadishu tragedy when 18 servicemen were killed and Clinton pulled out of the mission.

[CitizenUSA]

"There is no sterner stuff than the backbone and courage that defines Jack Murtha's character and conscience," Kerry said.

Well, if Kerry says so, I'm convinced.

You know, it's possible to have backbone and courage and be 100% DEAD WRONG. I always try to understand why people do what they do. What's Rep. Murtha's motivation here? Perhaps he identifies with and cannot stand to see more G.I.s killed. Who knows? But the facts are, no matter what he believes, he is playing right into the hands of the terrorists. Who does he think will be best served by a withdrawal? Sure, some G.I.s might be saved in the short term, but the long term prospects are truly horrendous. Can you imagine what will happen if the new Iraqi government falls to Iranian-backed Shias?

[DoughtyOne]

All well and good, but if this backfires on the Republicans...

If they lost this vote, it would be a monumental global disaster.
