Murtha, Also In Town, Blasts Bush On Iraq

(AP) PHILADELPHIA President George W. Bush is using rhetoric and falsely portraying Iraq as the center of terrorism, instead of offering a plan of substance, U.S. Rep. John Murtha said Monday.

...

"Iraq is not the center for terrorism. Iraq is the center for insurgency, and there is a big difference," said Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat.

Murtha said that 7 percent of the insurgents in Iraq have come from other countries and al-Qaida is not focused in Iraq but composed of small cells around the world.

"The Iraqis are not against democracy, they are against our occupation," he said.

11. I'd settle for Secretary of Defense

He's been out of the military for over ten years so he's qualified for the job.

13. I agree, I like the guy, plus maybe some repukes would listen to him b/c

he's not a liberal on military issues and he's a blue collar kind of guy

8. Where's the backup he needs from fellow Dems? Dem echo chamber.

Hoping...

14. Dems in Congress won't let him rebut Chimpy's State of Union address

b/c they don't all back him on the Iraq War. WTF? He's only speaking the truth the military are telling him.

9. We have fallen so far that hearing somebody simply state the obvious

is like manna from heaven.

[blue neen]

10. I love that Murtha is not letting Bush take over our state.

Why doesn't Bush stay the f*ck out of Pennsylvania? He's always making speeches here. Damn his cowardly hide.
