All they were trying to do was discredit John Murtha. This is a man who has been one of the great patriots of our time, and they knew when he came out and said lets get out, that they are in trouble. Murtha is a very conservative dem, and also a supporter of the military.
Once again, the republicans, instead of listening to the ideas of a smart and very brave man (2 purple hearts and a bronze star) chose to pull a political stunt. Murtha was asking for a phase withdraw in about 6 months.
Murtha has been visiting the army hospital every week and talking to the troops who have lost limbs and such. When was the last time one of the current administration has been to the hospital. Unless there are cameras, very few times.
Maybe that's because Murtha is a decorated veteran, and the Pres is a draft dodger, and the vp is a 5 time deferment. Who would you believe?
