Murtha Calls Out Rove

On Meet The Press via Crooks and Liars, Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) opened a big ole can of whupass on Karl Rove after viewing a clip of Mr. Rove speaking at the New Hampshire Republican meeting and accusing the Democrats of "cutting and running" from the war in Iraq.

RUSSERT: Cutting and running?

MURTHA: He's in New Hampshire. He's making a political speech. He’s sitting in his air-conditioned office on his big, fat backside saying stay the course. That’s not a plan! We've got to change direction. You can't sit there in the air-conditioned office and tell troops carrying seventy pounds on their backs, inside these armored vessels - hit with IED's every day - seeing their friends blown up - their buddies blown up - and he says stay the course? Easy to say that from Washington, DC.

Yes, Karl; do tell us what life is like in the trenches of battle, and we don't mean just fighting to be the first in line at the buffet table in the White House mess.

Now, who will be the next Democrat to point out again that the only plan the Republicans have for the war in Iraq is to blame everything on the Democrats?
