I disagree. This vote corrected the misconception that the media has been putting out - that we want to withdraw.
I don't care how the dems spin it.
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.
Exactly... the American people will conclude that politicians-- who are craven self interested, poll readers-- overwhelmingly voted to stay in Iraq. i think this vote tonihgt dealt a mighty blow to the antiwar forces.
