Murtha Says Americans Back Iraq Pullout

By Marc • Nov 22nd, 2005 • Category: For the Troops, the Ranter

“JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – U.S. Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record), a key Democrat on military issues, on Monday defended his call to pull U.S. troops from
Iraq, saying he was reflecting Americans’ sentiment.”

As an American I have to agree with him. We need to pull the troops out….As soon as the job is finished.

Even Hillary sees it would be a mistake…

“RYE BROOK, N.Y. – Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that an immediate U.S. withdrawal from
Iraq would be ‘a big mistake.’

The New York Democrat said she respects Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., the Vietnam veteran and hawkish ex-Marine who last week called for an immediate troop pullout. But she added: ‘I think that would cause more problems for us in America.’”

There’s also some interesting commentary at Blogs for Bush on this. Go read it here.
