For the evening DU crew.........

Murtha is CALLING BUSH OUT once again!

Wednesday February 1, 2006
The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States of America
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington DC 20500


Dear Mr. President,

This March will mark the beginning of the 4th year of the war in Iraq. In contrast, U.S. involvement in WWI came to an end after 19 months. Victory in Europe was declared in WWII after 3 years 5 months. In the Korean War, a cease-fire was signed after 3 years and 1 month. But after more than three and a half years into the war in Iraq, your administration finally produced what is called a "Plan for Victory" in Iraq.

Iraq is not the center for the global war on terrorism. I believe Iraq has diverted our attention away from the fight against global terrorism and has depleted the required resources needed to wage an effective war. It is estimated that there are only about 750 to 1,000 al-Qaeda in Iraq. I believe the Iraqis will force them out or kill them after U.S. troops are gone. In fact, there is now evidence that Iraqi insurgent groups are increasingly turning against al-Qaeda and other foreign terrorists.

CALL MURTHA & YOUR REPS IN SUPPORT OF HIS LETTER

1-888-818-6641 Capitol Switchboard

Redeploy, Replace, Reallocate, and Reconstitute.

1. I really love that man.

2. He was on that "Hardball" today. He was awesome! n/t

[samhsarah]

3. I can't watch Hardball anymore, I have lost my Tweety tolerance...

but if I would have known Murtha was gonna be on, well I can catch the rerun later. Thanks for letting me know.

4. Yeah, it's worth it.

I wasn't familiar with the "Tweety" until recently.
LOL. He does tend to be obnoxious.

But he did a good job of handing Murtha the talking points he needs to get out there. In this instance, bringing up the negative questions was a bonus. Murtha doesn't stray from his message, and he's got an answer for everything.

[samhsarah]

7. He sure does.

5. John Murtha....

Bigger than life next to little AWOL Junior.
