House Rejects Dem Plan to Cut and Run
The House of Representatives overwhelming rejected last night a proposal to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq, after two days of over-hyped media coverage of Democratic Rep. John Murtha's call for a U.S. pullout.
In a lopsided 403 to 3vote, Democrats showed they were unwilling to back Murtha's pullout proposal - even though many voiced support of his anti-war announcement earlier this week.
"Our military has done everything that has been asked of them, the U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily," Murtha, a 37-year Marine veteran, said Thursday.
"It's time to bring them home," Murtha said.
Though the American media ballyhooed Murtha's comments as an indication that support for the war was collapsing at home, Friday night's vote showed there was almost no backing in Congress for such a move.
Only three left-wing radicals voted for Murtha's plan - Reps. Cynthia McKinney, Jose Serano and Robert Wexler.
While voicing reservations about an immediate pullout, prominent Democrats had praised Murtha for forcing a debate on the issue.
Defending Murtha, former presidential candidate John Kerry said, "There is no sterner stuff than the backbone and courage that defines Jack Murtha's character and conscience."
Stern stuff, alright. Didn't even have the 'backbone' to put his money where his mouth was. LMAO
