Now even Murtha is saying the surge is working

from JoeUser Forums

Wonders may never cease, apparently even Murtha is ready to admit that the surge in Iraq is working and things are improving there.

See: (from Pittsburgh Post Gazette) Murtha finds military progress in trip to Iraq Warns that Iraqis must do more for their own security

I guess it just goes to show that even a broken watch can be right every now and then...

It always amazes me to see the difference between the attitudes of politicians when they're sitting on their butts in Washington and when they go see for themselves.  It rarely changes their attitude towards the war itself, but almost always changes the way they speak of the troops.


I feel sorry for the troops forced to sit and eat with him though, since the blow hard still hasn't apologized (or been charged for) the slandering of the Marines.


 

Aslo, I guess it totally ecsapes Murtha's grasp that if Prs. Bush had listened to him before, Iraqis wouldn't have had the opportunity to listen to him now and take a bigger role in their own security.

Good thing you pointed that out, because the MSM never will.
