I'm sorry, but Mr Murtha is a kindly old soul suffering from battle fatigue. His last was simply an emotional outburst that has nothing whatsoever to do with winning the war in Iraq.

My husband and I were saying something similar to your thoughts. He's an old man, he wandered so, his heart may still be in great working order, but his mind won't win the war in Iraq, nor the War on Terror. God save us from emotional people. What we need are brains....and bravery.

I absolutely agree. Too many people these days think that emotion is a useful tool for deciding public policy. This is bad when it comes to domestic issues, but it is disastorous when it comes to foriegn policy. There will soon come a day when our forces will pull back and let the Iraqi forces take the lead, but that decision needs to be made by leaders of our military, not by emotional people - no matter how well-meaning they might be.
