The Republicans presented a resolution that essentially says "We want to leave Irag right this second." No one is going to vote yes to that. That isn't brave, it's just a blatant misstatement of Murtha's proposal.

I understand that the Dems are backtracking as fast as they can and saying that the Murtha "meant" for withdrawal in 6 months or that he "meant" for a repositioning in Kuwait. It is still surrender, it is still retreat, and it is still a betrayal to our troops and to the Iragis.

Murtha said over a year ago that we could never win in Iraq (I guess this is what is considered hawkish by the Left). He was wrong then and he is still wrong.

RINOS who voted with the Democrats to block a recorded vote ...
