Democrat says Bush moving towards early withdrawal of US troops in Iraq

[Barrett808]

The US lawmaker who unleashed a heated debate with his call for a US troop pullout of Iraq said that he believed President George W. Bush's administration was moving towards his point of view.

"I think this administration is coming around," said Democratic Representative John Murtha, a staunchly pro-military former marine, speaking on ABC television's "This Week" program.

"I see the signals that they're starting to realize that the military has done everything it can do. The military has accomplished its mission," he said.

Murtha, who had strongly supported the decision to invade Iraq, lobbed a political bombshell last month by saying the time had come for US forces to quit Iraq.
