John Murtha Admits the Surge is Working

November 29, 2007

in-murtha2.jpg Well, well, well. John Murtha has just returned from Iraq and he had a little something to say. THE SURGE IS WORKING!

 That’s right, John Murtha was forced to admit after coming back from Iraq that the surge is working. This is the same man who wanted to slowly but surely deny our troops the means necessary to fight the war with his “slow bleed” plan to end the war by denying our troops funding for equipment a little at a time.

“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.

 However, Murtha got the new talking points memo that I discussed here, and still will use the new talking points as a reason to withdraw from Iraq.

But the Iraqis “have got to take care of themselves.”

 That is the new mantra of the left ever since it became impossible for them to claim that the war is lost. They now claim that Iraq will never be politically viable, so we must withdraw. One can only wonder when we hear the Democrats say that Iraq won’t become politically viable, do they mean the Iraqi government, or do they mean for the Democrats themselves?

    Spinning the news again, or is it flip-flopping? Sometimes it’s so hard to tell the difference…

    I think it is a spin designed to hide a flip-flop.

    AH!! A hybrid…didn’t know that Murtha was going green…

    Still, the level of BS in politics is amazing. We could fertilize the world’s farms and still have some left over for next season.
