Troops that Murtha voted to send in the first place.

I can respect a Democrat Congressman who just votes for immediate pullout. That would be terrible for the country, but its a mistake an honest person could make.

It wouldn’t be honest to be asking for a troop surge, and then when the President gives you what you asked for then turning on him and trying to pull out the rug. Which many Democrat congressmen did.

The thing that gets my goat about the Murtha/Pelosi/Nutroots elements currently ruling the Democrat party is that they are not honest about what they are trying to do. They don’t care a fig about ‘supporting the troops’. Their actions show that they want to maximize U.S. casulties in order to score political points.

The goals of the nutroot wing of the Democrat party are identical with those of Al Queada.

Since they can’t persade enough of their own members to vote out an immediate surrender bill they are resorting to these dishonest ‘slow bleed’ bills designed to cause defeat and increase

The unflappable Steny Hoyer was seen/heard yelling at staff on the floor of the House. Pelosi, according to our source, wasn’t even on the floor. Presumably she was cloistered somewhere with John Murtha thinking up new ways to ensure our defeat in Iraq. Poor Eleanor Holmes-Norton was seen standing silently. We don’t know what she was thinking but we can guess we couldn’t print it on a family website.

I guess I’d better avoid standing silently if I want to avoid giving a bad impression.

It’s refreshing to see actual ideas and debate coming from Capital Hill rather than outsourcing all the thinkin’ to the White House.
