Murtha: US Can Not Capable Of Military Action Against Iran

AP | Posted February 15, 2007 02:11 PM

A leading Iraq war opponent threatened Thursday to try prohibiting any U.S. military action against
Iran without congressional sanction as House Republicans used military veterans within their ranks to oppose a resolution renouncing
President Bush's Iraq troop buildup.

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said he would seek to tie future deployments in Iraq to troops meeting high standards of training and getting enough rest between combat tours. Murtha said he believes the Army may have no units that can meet those standards, meaning that Bush's attempt to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq would be effectively thwarted.
