murtha gave the reasons for cutting and running. His proposal was to leave Iraq as fast as possible. NOW. Hillary is against it. Let's review: Message 21907759 To redeploy U.S. forces from Iraq. redeploy from Iraq to somewhere not in Iraq Whereas Congress and the American people have not been shown clear, measurable progress toward establishment of stable and improving security in Iraq or of a stable and improving economy in Iraq, both of which are essential to `promote the emergence of a democratic government'; no progress is being made in murtha's opinion so we need to leave Whereas additional stabilization in Iraq by U.S. military forces cannot be achieved without the deployment of hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. troops, which in turn cannot be achieved without a military draft;</I.>we can't make it any better than it is now without the draft proposed by two democrats so let's leave now Whereas more than $277 billion has been appropriated by the United States Congress to prosecute U.S. military action in Iraq and Afghanistan; we've already blown 277billion and we can't afford to blow more so let's leave now Whereas, as of the drafting of this resolution, 2,079 U.S. troops have been killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom; patty sheehan is right, too many killed, get out now (Clinton's Mogadishu policy) Whereas U.S. forces have become the target of the insurgency; duh! Whereas, according to recent polls, over 80 percent of the Iraqi people want the U.S. forces out of Iraq; yes, no one wants to the US to stay indefinitely Whereas polls also indicate that 45 percent of the Iraqi people feel that the attacks on U.S. forces are justified; and whatever Whereas, due to the foregoing, Congress finds it evident that continuing U.S. military action in Iraq is not in the best interests of the United States of America, the people of Iraq, or the Persian Gulf Region, which were cited in Public Law 107-243 as justification for undertaking such action: Now, therefore, be it since Public Law 107-243 has been viloated and our actions are illegal, leave now Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That: SECTION 1. The deployment of United States forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is hereby terminated and the forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable date. deployment is hereby terminated=NOW and redeployed at EARLIEST practicable date somewhere not in Iraq SEC. 2. A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the-horizon presence of U.S. Marines shall be deployed in the region. just what will this quick reaction force of marines in Kuwait be expected to do in Iraq? SEC. 3. The United States of America shall pursue security and stability in Iraq through diplomacy. murtha wants to return to "talk" and hope the problem goes away like in Carter and Clinton in Iran and North Korea
