Murtha finds military progress in trip to Iraq
Warns that Iraqis must do more for their own security
Thursday, November 29, 2007
By Jerome L. Sherman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.

"I think the 'surge' is working," the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president's decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis "have got to take care of themselves."

Violence has dropped significantly in recent months, but Mr. Murtha said he was most encouraged by changes in the once-volatile Anbar province, where locals have started working closely with U.S. forces to isolate insurgents linked to Al Qaeda.

He said Iraqis need to duplicate that success at the national level, but the central government in Baghdad is "dysfunctional."

Mr. Murtha's four day-trip took him to a Thanksgiving dinner with troops in Kuwait last Thursday, and he then made stops in Iraq, Turkey and Belgium.

Question is, can progress be sustained! I don't think so in the long run. M.E. countries do not take kindly to being occupied and exploited by western European countries.

So Smitty, how much longer to you suspect the Iraqi's will continue to over stay your welcome in THEIR COUNTRY!!!

He's choking no more than a severely wounded Marine choking on his own blood b/c a sniper has just snuffed his life out or another Marine choking and gurgling on his own blood b/c his/her body is hemorrhaging from being mangled by a road side bomb.

ALL b/c conservative surge supporters along with Bush has made them sitting ducks and cannon fodder for an unnecessary invasion and illegal occupation in Iraq.

HEY BUT WHAT CAN I SAY THE SURGE IS WORKING, IRAQI'S ARE RETURNING HOME TO ENDURE MORE CHAOS AND DEATH.....EVERYTHING IN IRAQ IS SO PEACHY. ITS NOW 2014, AMERICA IS ON HER 7TH SURGE...AND THERES LIFE AT THE END OF TUNNEL!

I can't wait to hear about another SURGE is required because America has OVER STAYED HER WELCOME!

Hell if we stay in Iraq for as long as Smitty thinks its necessary, perhaps his own DAUGHTER will find herself over in Iraq SURGING to nowhere.

Yep, that's the point.

If a surge occured in 2004 when Pelosi and co. were suggesting it, things would have been a lot better at present. Then again, the left would have been hailing "their" surge as the fix to the (R) mistakes. Things have changed, but now that it is a repub idea the partisan bitching is clearly highlighted by the Rasta's of the world.

BTW- That Betrayus fucker just keeps lieing to us, huh. . . as if he was ever given had a chance from the left.
