Cngssmn Murtha Demands we Pull Troops from Iraq

You can watch the speech here, or read it at Stakeholder: Rep John Murtha (D-PA): "The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. The US & coalition troops have done all they can in Iraq... Our military is suffering. The future of our country is at risk. We cannot continue on the present course. It is evident that continued military action is not in the best interests of the USA, the Iraqi people or the Persian Gulf Region... The main reason for going to war has been discredited... The threat posed by terrorism is real, but we have other threats that cannot be ignored... The war in Iraq has caused huge shortfalls. Our deficit is growing out of control... This is the first prolonged war we have fought w/3 yrs of tax cuts, w/o full mobilization of American industry and w/o a draft... Our military has done everything that has been asked of them, the US can not accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It is time to bring them home." Here's McClellan's smear of this Murtha: "He is a respected vet and politician who has a record of supporting a strong America. So it is baffling that he is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Dem party. The eve of an historic democratic election in Iraq is not the time to surrender to the terrorists. After seeing his statement, we remain baffled -- nowhere does he explain how retreating from Iraq makes America safer." And no where does staying in Iraq, killing, torturing, getting killed, maimed and squandering every tax payer dime make America safer either asshat.
