While many war supporters have been pointing to security improvements in Iraq as evidence that the Surge is working for weeks, the meme got a significant boost yesterday from an unlikely source: Congressman Jack Murtha.
U.S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.
“I think the ’surge’ is working,” the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president’s decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis “have got to take care of themselves.”

Well, at least Murtha consistently follows what he percieves to be the common wisdom.
“Pelosi and Reid have got to be pissed.”
“Jack would you mind pulling your knife out of our backs?”
And I think its going to rain tomorrow. Nothing like covering your ass. And in his case that needs a very big cover.
Murtha is a real p.o.s.
I doubt very seriously that he does...........think, that is.......
Well... I guess that makes it official. The troops will be so glad to hear that!!
Someone please tell Murtha that Hawaii and Alaska are states of the union now
Those lawsuits by the Marines are getting to Murtha...
I hear that when Murtha wants his cows to come in from the pasture, he has to get somebody else to call them.
“Pelosi and Reid have got to be pissed.”
Nope. Think ‘08.
They’re happy that he’s putting distance between himself and the issue so that he might successfully defend his seat in next year’s election against former William Russell a retired Army Officer.

I hear there is a war vet lined up to take him on next November.
That’s too good a meal for him. He is the most detestable, despicable member of congress.
I'll bump your p.o.s. AND raise you an earmark for this pig.
The man is a disgrace. Has he no shame? Subhuman scum. Vermin.
“That’s too good a meal for him. He is the most detestable, despicable member of congress.”
That’s no small feat. When you consider that some of the most vile humans in the United States who are not in jail, are members of our Congress.
*Murtha ping*
