It may be where Santa is forced to move to, but I digress. Murtha said……are you ready?…..:
“I think the ‘surge’ is working,” the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president’s decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis “have got to take care of themselves.”
Violence has dropped significantly in recent months, but Mr. Murtha said he was most encouraged by changes in the once-volatile Anbar province, where locals have started working closely with U.S. forces to isolate insurgents linked to Al Qaeda:
Mr. Murtha’s four day-trip took him to a Thanksgiving dinner with troops in Kuwait last Thursday, and he then made stops in Iraq, Turkey and Belgium.
He is even reconsidering those time tables for withdrawl
You must visit Hot Air and see the fun that Allahpundit is having with this.

John Murtha heaven dont want him and hells afraid he would take over8-}8-x
1, Snowy, no, Joe Kennedy, Sr, has a nice warm place next to him for Murtha. It is one lava flow down from Bennedict Arnold.
Slowly but surely the surrender democrats are coming out of the closet. Why? Well silly they just want to be a part of the success. It’s all political as they really don’t give a rats ass about security for America, fighting terror or our troops.
3, the traitors ought to be sent to Hell.
For you reality-challenged antiwar Leftist BHDS sufferers, here is a dose of reality to put things in perspective:
******************
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.
In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That’s just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq�
When some claim that President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, state the following:
A. FDR led us into World War II.
B. Germany never attacked us ; Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost … An average of 112,500 per year.�
C. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.
North Korea never attacked us.
From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost … An average of 18,334 per year.�
D John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
E. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost .. An average of 5,800 per year.
F. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden’s head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and, North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation..
We’ve been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquidick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!
The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.
Well said Robert. Unfortunately the biased media may not realize the facts but they influence the naive.:-?
5,6, or the liberals like the ones that troll thru here.
