Only Iraq War Vet in Congress Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-PA) Kicked Ass In The IWR Debate...

[Hissyspit]

Only Iraq War II vet currently serving in Congress (?); served with the 82nd Airborne in Baghdad:

"Three years now since I've been home and it is still Americans... patroling Baghdad street corners."

It is time to "set a time line to bring out soldiers home."

"Our country needs a REAL plan to get our soldiers home."

"I cannot support a strategy that results in more faceless roadside bombs and memorial neighborhood street corners."

Brought up the military experts who are against the surge.

quoted Murphy more accurately. He had some great comments he made before the comments that I was able to note down.
