Murtha criticizes Bush's `stay the course and hope' approach mercurynews.com Murtha said he was convinced that the more congressmen who look at his proposal and "the more they study the alternatives, (then) the more people we'll have involved in my resolution." The Pennsylvanian said he had received calls from 12 senators - "they're all running for president" - asking for information about his proposal. He told one Democrat to "get off the middle ground, because what your position is, is in-between and it's nothing." Murtha said the senator did not like that comment. But Murtha said he was not trying to win any hearts - just the minds... Murtha, a former Marine colonel, was decorated for heroism and injuries received in Vietnam. He has been a staunch advocate of the military and a leading Democratic hawk. The White House has received some support from Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., who suggested that his party should resist undermining Bush's credibility because he remains commander-in-chief for three more years. "What has he (Bush) said that would give him credibility?" Murtha said.
