Ed Henry confirms that Murtha's Resolution will be brought up today
Update on CNN
Murtha's resolution or "some form of it" (?)
Republicans want Murtha on the record.
Replicans will send a message to the troops that they will not retreat.
Democrats - this is a PR stunt by republicans

2. Then let's make it our PR stunt...
"Boys, we tried to bring you home. You accomplished your mission a couple years ago now. Or at least, that's what our Commander-in-Chief said on that carrier deck when he was wearing a flight suit.
We want you to come home, now that your mission is accomplished. We know you don't belong there trying to be civil administrators -- you're soldiers, for God's sake.
It's just a damn shame that the Republicans don't see it that way. Sorry, boys."

4. GOP Reps Must Be Scared Sh|tless. Will They Hang With shrub...
with his number at 38%? Can Rove hold the line?

Kilgore of Virginia will happily tell you how much this helped.


Bush Lied. People Died. Media Cheered.

8. One thing he said that made me nervous was that they may "tweak"
Murtha's proposal before they bring it up.

Why does that make me nervous? :eyes:

9. NB: Murtha is not calling for withdrawl, but re-deployment
He has an interesting and sensible idea for re-deploying the troops. That's what he's really talking about. I hope it does get brought up today as a Resolution. Let the chips fall.

12. What the hell are these so-called Democrats waiting for? SIDE WITH MURTHA
Over 60% of Americans say they no longer want this war and the number is growing--why the cowardice on the part of so many in Congress about standing up and saying enough is enough over this sham of a war???
