Murtha's latest comments are also a stark reversal from what he said earlier in the year. The Pennsylvania Democrat, who chairs the powerful Defense Subcommittee on the House Appropriations Committee, has previously stated that the surge "is not working" and the United States faced a military disaster in Iraq.

"Our troops won the war clearly, cleanly and quickly," said Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., chairman of the Appropriations Committee. "But now they are stuck in a civil war," and the only solution is a political and diplomatic compromise. "And there is no soldier who can get that done," he added.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq ??is a failure,? adding that President Bush??s troop surge has ??not produced the desired effect.?

And the list goes on and on.....as for the soldier comment it makes me wonder. The Dems (Clinton/Obama) plan was to pull out MOST of the troops but leave only enough behind to secure 100,000 civilian workers, our diplomats, embassy, and Iraqi Nationals that were loyal. So how many of these troops will be left behind?
Have a good one!:s4:

I can only hope that our citizens start to Wise up

Edit: Lest this come off as overly trite, my point is that we are conditioned to expect our news to be entertaining. CNN gained notice for following the First Gulf War in live-action explosions style. Fox carries on the tradition... and provides us with other shiny colorful shows just in case it's a slow explosion day. The matador waves his cape, and the bull goes charging off in the other direction.
If you have a couple hours to spare out of your busy evening television lineup, turn the thing off and read the book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" by Neil Postman. It's damning. Even Sesame Street takes a bit of a beating.

My darling DoN... Hindu Kush is an effective anti-nausea agent. I've found myself reaching for it more frequently now than I have in past administrations. You all know by now I avoid politics like the high-school class officer election (rich? popular? rather photogenic? YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT!!!***) contest it is, but it's like a car wreck- you don't want to absorb the gravity of the situation, but just...can't...look...away...
***John Kerry looks WAY better in a wetsuit than Dubya would.

choose to play or not, it impacts us all to some extent. even this deep under the ice we can feel the fear it generates.

I personally believe, we need out of Iraq. We accomplished our mission! Whatever government, let them do it; As the U.S. did with the 13 colonies! If they cannot work together, it is their problem. Or, we can send our Mods from this site to keep them in line! But, we'd miss them! And surely, we would send them protection!
The 100,000 civilians left behind are there for greed! They stay out of U.S. long enough, they do not have to pay taxes here! They are getting paid, at least 10 X's or more their normal yearly salary!
I say, Let Haliburton guard their own employees. Why do we need to have civilians there anyway. They ran their own business, seemingly, O.K. before. PUT Iraqi's back to work. Give them more to do than kill us and each other!
This is a limited narrow minded opinion. But, I'd be interested in other opinions, not someone talking in circle's without a specific solution! I know you guys have opinions of a solution, where are you hiding?
So now, i es gonna take my little head full of a pea brain nit wit home and shit a brick I think someone above needs to smoke :wtf:
