Murtha's support-the-troops legislation de-escalates Iraq. |
|
This is brilliant! His legislation would dictate how long troops can stay, the equipment they use and whether any money could be spent to expand military operations into Iran. Murtha says few units could meet the high standards he envisions, meaning Bush's plan to keep some 160,000 troops in Iraq for months on end would be thwarted.
Under his plan, he says, Democrats would be helping and not hurting troops by making sure they have what they need before being thrown into combat.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/15/AR2007021501278.htmlNGU.

I think Murtha's strategy is damned near perfect. It is essentially a support the troops by giving them supplies and equipment bill that any Rethuglican would pay for dearly by voting against it. It would be virtually unspinnable and should stop the deployments in their tracks.
I think it is a brilliant strategy.
