MIAMI — American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to an audience of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.

Murtha was the guest speaker at a town hall meeting organized by Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, D-Miami, at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus. Meek's mother, former Rep. Carrie Meek, D-Miami, was also on the panel.

War veterans, local mayors, university students and faculty were in the Mary Ann Wolfe Theatre to listen to the three panelists discuss the war in Iraq for an hour.

A former Marine and a prominent critic of the Bush administration's policies in Iraq, Murtha reiterated his views that the war cannot be won militarily and needs political solutions. He said the more than 100,000 troops in Iraq should be pulled out immediately, and deployed to peripheral countries like Kuwait.

"We do not want permanent bases in Iraq," Murtha told the audience. "We want as many Americans out of there as possible".

2. Murtha was quoting that poll that came out a little while ago, I think

Little issue I have when talking about "threats to world peace". FIrst, there has to BE a world peace for it to be threatened in the first place :eyes:

3. Wow. He is really hitting it hard.

It seems that it's the Clash of the Titans. Rove and his Attack Machinery is in high gear.

Murtha, rather than cowering, charges at them with both horns. It seems that the more they attack him, the more he fights back.

I hope Karl Rove is sweating right now, sitting on his fat arse.

4. They are calling Murtha a terrorist now...

On the radio today they were saying what Osama Bin Laden said a few years ago that the United States is the "greatest threat to the world." And then they played Murtha's comment about the US being the "greatest threat to world peace." And the radio host said... "Is there any difference here? This man is just as dangerous to America as Osama Bin Laden."

You honestly think Rove is going to back down?

5. Hey neocons on the bow;

"DUCK!"
Murtha has seen war, not shot a hunting buddy. And he just shot across your soft-fingered chickenhawk bow. Now leave a trail of piddle all the way home...
Chickenhawks have no skin in the game. They'll keep using our kids though -thank you very much!
