Top Democrat on Defense committee to debut 'dramatic' proposal on Iraq

John Byrne

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) is slated to make what Democratic insiders tell RAW STORY will be a 'bold' announcement surrounding U.S. policy in Iraq on Thursday.

Murtha, one of the Democrats' more conservative and hawkish members, is the ranking Democrat on the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) issued a press advisory Wednesday evening which simply said, "Congressman John Murtha, Ranking Member on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, will make a major announcement on Iraq tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. in HC-9 of the Capitol."

Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) told RAW STORY earlier this week to expect a 'dramatic' move in the Appropriations Committee.

"I can't speak to that specifically, I think some of the senior members on Defense Appropriations are going to come out with a fairly dramatic proposal," Moran said. "I think we need a more definitive position - to those very serious questions about the war and there seems to be a coming together of points of view."

2. Hopefully it'll get some press.

I'm skeptical as to whether that'll be the case.

In any case, though, glad to hear it. :)

4. Then we will fight them like rabid dogs!

And never yield, we have ideas, great one's too. It's the media and their defeatest attitude toward us which enables us to nips ourselves in butts.
