Murtha Speaks

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) today on CBS's Face the Nation:

MURTHA: The public is way ahead of what’s going on in Washington. They no longer believe it. The troops themselves, 70 percent of the troops said we want to come home within a year. The only solution to this is to redeploy. Let me tell you, the only people who want us in Iraq is Iran and al-Qaeda. I've talked to a top-level commander the other day, it was about two weeks ago, and he said China wants us there also. Why? Because we’re depleting our resources, our troop resources and our fiscal resources.

The right has tried to smear him, but, this time, the ameircan people are having none of it. The problem for the Right is that Murtha speaks for the military; he has long been their friend in the COngress, and everyone knows it.

But Bush had to have his war, to avenge his father, perhaps one-up him, and to further Karl Rove's reelection plans. Thousands have died for his vanity. How is he better than Saddam?

And he keeps cutting veteran's services, because the rich MUST have their tax cuts.

Osama's best friend, George W. Bush.
