1. Below
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 08:42 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
Representative Duncan Hunter - R offered a resolution calling for an immediate withdrawl of troops from iraq. It is a mockery of Murtha's bill, designed to confront the dems without even the ability to debate the issue, basically stating "hey, you want out of iraq, here's your resolution, blah blah blah". It is a stunt to completely undermine Murtha's position.

They have been debating this all evening and will now spend 2 hours of debate before the vote on the sham bill.

The bill is a sham, designed to mock Murtha. The dems should just turn their backs on the repubs as they vote.

2. The pukes introduced a resolution to have a vote today now tonight
for an imediate withdrawl from Iraq, the pukes are trying to call Murtha's bluff so to speak in poker terms and there has been some pretty heated exchanges today. this has ran way over predicted time.

It's crazy

freedom, heros, cut-and-run

Dems "use the military the right way, treat them right"


Repubs "if you want out, here you go, vote them out NOW"
Dems "this is a sham, we want them out in the next 6 months"
Repubs "freedom, cut-and-run, blah blah blah, put up or shut up now"
Dems "iraq war is wrong, intellegence manipulated, we need to get out"
