And Jack Murtha would like to help.

Here is Rep. John "Old Cut And Run" Murtha speaking about pulling out of Iraq on CNN's Situation Room this month:

The thing that disturbed me and worries me about this whole thing is we can't get them to change direction. And I said over and over in debate, if you listen to any of it, in Beirut President Reagan changed direction, in Somalia President Clinton changed direction, and yet here, with the troops out there every day, suffering from these explosive devices, and being looked at as occupiers — 80 percent of the people want us out of there — and yet they continue to say, "We're fighting this thing." We're not fighting this. The troops are fighting this thing. That's who's doing the fighting.

Osama bin Laden, speaking on a just-released audio tape:

We will continue — God willing — to fight you and your allies everywhere in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Sudan until we deplete your resources, kill your men and (force you) to return defeated to your lands as we have defeated you before — God willing — in Somalia.

Got that? Jack Murtha considers Clinton's cut-and-run from Somalia to be sound foreign policy worth repeating.

Osama bin Laden considers it a victory for his side. The sort of thing that might embolden one to, I don't know, crash some jets into buildings filled with innocent civilians.

Following Jack Murtha's advice would simply have us playing into the hands of the enemy. It is dangerous and foolish and should be avoided. If you don't believe me, just listen to our enemies.
