Although its true Cowards cut and run, I think Murtha's motive for his call to surrender was not fear...but other more insidious and disgusting reasons...like wanting to destroy Bush and have the dems get back in power.
If it was only fear that made Murtha call for retreat...well...that's not good but it is far more forgiveable than treachery against this country.
The dems should have been happy Schmidt cited the less evil reason for Murtha's actions.
Just becuase white flag Murtha was a marine, doesen't mean he should automatically be given an honest ear on foreign policy decisions. My grandfather was a WWII vet who fought in some of the bloodiest battles in the S. Pacific, but by the time he was in in his mid 70s i wouldnt let him operate the remote control to the tv. This rep told it like it was and i have lost all faith in the republican party. What a bunch of spineless twits.
