Lawmakers Reject Immediate Iraq Withdrawal

WASHINGTON


The House on Friday overwhelmingly rejected calls for an immediate troop
withdrawal from Iraq, a vote engineered by the Republicans that was intended
to fail. Democrats derided the vote as a political stunt.

"Our troops have become the enemy. We need to change direction in Iraq,"
said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Democratic hawk whose call a day
earlier for pulling out troops sparked a nasty, personal debate over the
war.

The House voted 403-3 to reject a nonbinding resolution calling for an
immediate troop withdrawal.

"We want to make sure that we support our troops that are fighting in Iraq
and Afghanistan. We will not retreat," Speaker Dennis Hastert, R- Ill., said
as the GOP leadership pushed the issue to a vote over the protest of
Democrats.

It was the second time in less than a week that President Bush's Iraq policy
stirred heated debate in Congress. On Tuesday, the Senate defeated a
Democratic push for Bush to lay out a timetable for withdrawal.

Murtha, a 73-year-old Marine veteran decorated for combat service in
Vietnam, issued his call for a troop withdrawal at a news conference on
Thursday. In little more than 24 hours, Hastert and Republicans decided to
put the question to the House.

Democrats said it was a political stunt and quickly decided to vote against
it in an attempt to drain it of significance.

"A disgrace," declared House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "The
rankest of politics and the absence of any sense of shame," added Rep. Steny
Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat.

What is so hard to understand about that?

Where you get that I said to deny the beginnings of help to those in need is
one additional question; you are putting words in my mouth.

Hell, things can be destroyed 200 miles from the coast by a hurricane... Do
you want to move everyone further than that inland? Was it a bad idea to
settle New Orleans in an area that is mostly below sea level? Yeah, but it
wouldn't have been as bad if the city hadn't expanded into areas that are
even more flood prone and if they hadn't put levees along the Mississippi
River, thus preventing its yearly floods dropping more soil to build up the
sinking land...

Saudi, Egyptian, United Arab Emirates.

See, we do want to take out Iran as well, but we'll need a base.

It is reality. We can, and will, do both, and more besides.

Well, we have enough to spend hundreds of millions of dollars building a
bridge to a remote island in Alaska....

No, but I can show you pictures of 3,000 being killed by two airliners
hitting the world trade center.

For Dennis (Icarus)

Ok. Keep that open mind and watch as Dubya lets you down.
