"Hastert basically challenged the Dems to put up or shut up with the "immediate pullout" rhetoric."

Then why didn't he use Murtha's proposal?

Hastert did a legaslative equivalent to a Strawman logic.
Had he put up Murtha's proposal it probably would have passed.

I'm sure there are some democratic strategists who don't want to pull out. If there are still 100,000 troops in Iraq for the next election cycle then the Republicans are in big trouble. I think that's cynical, they should do what is best for the army and the country and pull them back.
