[graywarrior]

increased military spending and maybe the draft? I don't want to be a downer, coz I'm really enjoying his kicking ass, but my radar is going up.

1. There should

2. I don't think so.

He knows that the draft would never pass Congress. I think he sees leaving Iraq as the best way to save a military crumbling under demands that it can't handle.

3. i hate to ever say Andrea Mitchell was right about something but---

she said "that Murtha may be speaking for many at the pentagon that want the troops out"

[graywarrior]

5. Yes, that makes sense

I so appreciate the people here who are so much smarter about this stuff than I am. I take one of my ideas and run with it and soon it becomes real in my head. DU rocks.

6. I heard that too. They said he's connected to many Generals

at the pentagon who are yes men to the idiot, but they tell HIM the truth. They want OUT OF IRAQ!

7. You're thinking like a Repub,

Yes , Murtha is a hawk and would vote for either of those things. What your seeing is heartfelt, he's "Mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore!"( Sorry to call you a repub' It was in haste):hi:
