I think it was actually brilliant street theater by the Republicans. Wonder what brainiac thought of it. Because only 3 people were willing to vote for immediate withdrawal -- which is incredible.

It was total cynicism on the part of the Republican Party. They think that the American People are so stupid that they don't see through this cheap little trick. They think that the American people will just let go by the cheap remarks about Congressman Murtha's courage and patriotism.

This goes for Bob Woodward also. He thinks he can get away with lying and obstruction of justice. Woodward however, imo, will get away with it. He is not going to go to jail for trying to fool the American people. He is posing as an aggressive journalist but is really using that as a cover to be a player in the political landscape.

He clearly lied to the American people when he gave his opinions on the special prosecutor - calling him names, and dismissing his activities - all the while he was party to the cover up.

I don't see how the Republican party is going to get away with spinning away the tragedy and gross (if not criminal - not in a legal sense any way) mishandling of the Iraq occupation.

Woodward will get away with his dirty doings, but he is relatively a small but nonetheless smelly fish.
