After fiery comments by Rep. John Murtha on Thursday. The honorable Representative Murtha made the tough call to bring the troops home. On Friday, the House of Representatives erupted in a verbal war with one Representative suggesting Murtha was a coward before retracting the statement. The Democrats didn't react well to the verbal bullets being thrown at the old marine in the House. Some even had to be physically restrained.

As a political tactic, the GOP called for a brief resolution in response that of Murtha that was much shorter and left our many details Murtha thought pertinent to the situation. The GOP didn't want the information on the record that's for sure. The vote went out on the GOP resolution and it easily passed. Murtha and the rest of the Dems knew it was a ploy. The Post ran a good story on the debate.

Congress needs an honest debate on this war. They need to force Bush and Cheney to give thorough, regular updates on the war and they need to see a concise strategy of some kind, even if it's not withdrawal. They need to see how our country plans to deal with Iraq and in the future and what it's going to take finish this job.
