John Murtha still has a large role to play...

[kentuck]

He is a leader against Bush's fiasco in Iraq. He made it safe for Democrats to speak out against the war. Nancy Pelosi, although some will say this was a loss for her, shows that she is willing to stand by what she thinks is the right thing to do. And that is a positive. What position can Murtha get so he will have a high profile as spokesman against this war? That is to be seen.

1. He will be our spokesman to end this war

Now he will have the time to do what needs to be done and still minister to the sick and returning soldiers from Iraq....

2. he mentioned the $8 billion a month

His defense appropriations committee chairmanship will address that.
