Good for Murtha.
There's no other way to characterize what Murtha said this morning about the head of the US military, and he's right. The war in Iraq is not going "very, very well." At some point, our military leaders need to stop acting like they're running some banana republic, and start acting like they care about our troops and our nation. That war is a disaster, and George Bush is in over his head.
From Meet the Press
Murtha expressed skepticism of assurances given by Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on NBC's ?Meet the Press? on Sunday. Pace said the war in Iraq was going ?very, very well."And isn't it funny that the Joint Chiefs had no problem challenging Bill Clinton over gays in the military, they have no problem getting together and challenging the Washington Post over a cartoon that didn't even do what they said it did, but when George Bush is running our military and this country into the ground, where are the Joint Chiefs?
?Why would I believe him?? said Murtha, D-Pa. ?This administration, including the president, has mischaracterized this war for the last two years ... So why would I believe the chairman of the Joint Chiefs when he says things are going well??
