GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...

[Soul Seeker]

"Our troops have become the enemy. We need to change direction in Iraq," said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Democratic hawk whose call a day earlier for pulling out troops sparked a nasty, personal debate over the war.

Put a stick in him, he's done.

She is a fool among fools, and that takes some doing among that bunch of commie dolts.

[Pirate21]

Sheila Jackson Lee?!?!? Save me. "I voted 'No.' but I want them to come home." And already spinning to deny the validity of the vote.

[Milhous]

Murtha did not vote yea for his own beef?

Rabid moonbats meticulously spun this as a vote on Hunter's resolution.

[Prime Choice]

C-Span was showing 1 Republican and 2 Dims voting "Yea" for a total of 3.

Our job? Find the name of that "Republican." He will be my new hobby. Oh yes...he will definitely be my new hobby.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Good, I missed it, but he's my rep... I emailed him to support this war and ANWR, too!

[WakeUpAndVote]

Libs on cspan are licking their wounds and attempting to save face.

I voted no but we should bring back the troops now?

[nopardons]

Thanks for the list!

So Murtha didn't even vote yea on this? Good grief!

Weldon is going to insert Able Danger information into the record.

[Phx_RC]

Thats it - The House has adjourned till December.

[MplsSteve]

65,000 was the record?!

Cripes, when was that?

Election Night 2000? Or September 11th?

[Windcatcher]

Typical "peace, love, drugs" hippie nonsense.

[St.Chuck]

This vote corrected the misconception that the media has been putting out - that we want to withdraw.

I think we do want to withdraw, but the debate should be about on what terms and should include all the realities that we face. I think Mr. Murtha scored points in talking about insufficient troop levels and woeful recruitment. If it is true that 80% of Iraqi's don't want us there and 45% support the attacks on U.S. tropps, then that should be taken into consideration as well.

[rightinthemiddle]

I'll second that.

[4integrity]

'..I think the Base is back..'

the true Base never left.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. Have you been watching that whole thing?

[BIGLOOK]

Geez Louise.....It's a conspiracy!

Murtha retreats.

[Chgogal]

Agreed. This was a very good move on the Republican side and it turned out well. It was a good day for our Military tonight.

[jimboster]

But the chickens, hamburgers, doritos, french fries, pumpkin pies and diet coke on his desk prevented him from reaching the button to vote
