A cut and run proposal was defeated, not a withdrawal of the occupation forces proposal.

I have read both. The only difference between Murtha's original proposal and the one rejected was the "reaction force." This is already in place anyway.

The Dems used Murtha to continue their "cut and run" rhetoric that goes over well with their base. The Republicans turned it around on them. The Dems ran because they know it doesn't sell with the overall voters.

Can you say, "Argumentative?" :>)

these Koolaid wars.

The democrats who have been loudest helped to choose the flavor (supported the war) and helped to mix (provided the funding) the koolaid. They drank it and told anyone who would listen (pontificated to the media) how great it was. Now they say Bush lied about the flavor.

I just love politics! These people (some on each side) are hilarious. Almost like kids. "But,but, he hit me first."
