See, I Told you So, Murtha Still a Moron

Murtha must have taking a verbal beating from the Nancy Pelosi and the other liberals working for MoveOn.org. He’s flipping his script:

The surge, he said in a statement, “has created a window of opportunity for the Iraqi government,’’ but so far the Iraqi government has “failed to capitalize on the political and diplomatic steps that the surge was designed to provide.”

“The fact remains that the war in Iraq cannot be won militarily, and that we must begin an orderly redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq as soon as practicable,” said the chair of the House Appropriations Committee’s Defense Subcommittee.

Murtha, who recently returned from a trip to Iraq, told reporters Thursday that the “surge is working.” The statement stunned his colleagues – Democratic leadership, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, is currently blocking approval of full funding requested by the Bush administration for combat operations in Iraq next year without a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawal.

Let me translate from leftist/liberal to normal citizen: “The surge is working and giving the government a chance to succeed. But we need to retreat as soon as possible.”

Does that make any sense to you?
