>>>Murtha said "immediate withdrawal" in his original floor speech<<<


You missed the rest of it then or maybe the rest was ignored in order to ridicule and smear? Are you dishonest or is it just games as usual?


Murtha on Hardball last night:


"They've got a resolution on the floor today — a ridiculous resolution — which calls for an immediate pullout.

No Democrat is going to vote for that. That's not what we're saying. We have what I feel is a very constructive resolution which gives a good proposal about how this war can be ended in a favorable way.

This resolution they're going to introduce today calls for immediate withdrawal. That's not what anybody is saying. We need a thoughtful suggestion, a thoughtful resolution, which concludes this war as quickly as possible.

And so I'm convinced we need to redeploy outside the country as quickly as practicable and safe for the troops.

MATTHEWS: How is that different than what the Republicans are pushing as this kind of bogus resolution they're pushing today?

MURTHA: It's ridiculous. It's an immediate withdrawal without any kind of a plan at all. All they're trying to do is prove to the American people a political message
.

MATTHEWS: Is this some Mickey Mouse trick? How would you describe that resolution?

MURTHA: This is exactly what it is. And it's infuriating to me that after a year of study, after almost 25 years on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, with a really thoughtful resolution, they're not willing to have hearings, they're not willing to think about this or talk."
