So Murtha asks for redeployment.... Syria anyone?

[scubadude]

To move out of Iraq would sure free up enough troops for a nice shot at Syria.

Any thoughts that this could be a ruse?

4. Not from murtha

he means over the horizon deployment, you know what that means?

Or you are just talking to ahem talk?

9. Over the horizon... I get it.

Perhaps you folks don't get the post. It was not my express intent to purely hammer Murhta. Perhaps I choose poor wording. I wanted to express a potential problem with his idea.

Close one door and another opens. There is good in his idea, but it will be viewed through the lens of a corrupt administration bent on it's own agenda. Gee, what can we do with a 160,000 troop rapid task force? That's where I see this going.

Edited for clarity...

5. Everything considered I feel as though he is sincere.

Where as it is true that Congressman Murtha has been a hawk and has had very close relationships with the Pentagon & leaky dick, I just don't feel as though his resolution is a ruse. I can't put my finger on it, but I am pretty good at reading people and I believe that Murtha is True Blue.

6. Yawn ....

Next question.

8. I believe Murtha proposes pulling

out of Iraq and establishing the military in an 'oversee position' outside of Iraq in case of future US military need in Iraq.

10. LIke Syria?

or Iran?

[Opusnone]

11. Iran isn't even on the short list

Unless we institute conscription, use nukes and are prepared for WW3, Iran is not an option.

12. Actually, in his statement the other day, he suggested Kuwait.
