[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 137181, member: 1940"] [B]Murtha earlier this year:[/B] Last November and December, when Rep. Murtha (D-Pa.) came up with his proposal to “redeploy” U.S. troops out of Iraq — “My plan says redeploy to the periphery, to Kuwait, to Okinawa, and if there’s a terrorist activity that affects our allies or affects the United States’s national security, we can then go back in” — few, if any, Democrats dared to publicly embrace his idea. [B]Pelosi:[/B] But then Pelosi spoke up. “I’m endorsing what Mr. Murtha is saying,” she said. “I believe that a majority of our caucus clearly supports Mr. Murtha.” [B]Hoyer:[/B] The “majority of the caucus” thing was a bit much. “I believe that a precipitous withdrawal of American forces in Iraq could lead to disaster,” said Rep. Hoyer (D-Md.), begging to disagree, “spawning a civil war, fostering a haven for terrorists and damaging our nation’s security and credibility.” So much for Murtha! At least the moderate Democrats stand a better chance at working together with the republicans. Murtha would have been a disaster and Pelosi already is. At least Hoyer has some common sense and a lot of support with 149-86 vote.:cool: [URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20061203040704/http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/11/16/D8LE9QJO0.html']BREITBART.COM - House Democrats Name Hoyer to No. 2 Post[/URL] [/QUOTE]
