Rep. John Murtha's call to pull all U.S. troops out of Iraq within six months is coming to a vote.
Tonight, the House of Representatives are voting on if we should stay in Iraq. (11/18/05) They are meeting right now. It has been said that we may know the results as soon as 9 pm (eastern time.)
There are some in congress who want a FULL pull-out of our troops from Iraq now. Others believe this is paramount to surrender.
I tried this today when I talked to some liberal friends I know at work. Ask a liberal if they support the surrender of Iraq to the terrorists. You will get a knee-jerk reaction from them. "We are not surrendering, why… We are just bringing our troops home!"
Of course I like to push things a tad bit and ask: "If you are fighting someone and they give up and go home, would you say that you won the fight?"
Of course this is when liberal brainwashing comes in and they begin to stutter and falter. They say things like: "Well, if I was fighting someone and it was a tough battle and they gave up.. I might not consider it a victory." This is of course pure BS. If someone packs up and goes home.. YOU WIN!
But unfortunately, the ones surrendering might be Americans. Just when terrorists are screwing things up. Just last night, terrorists tried to car bomb a hotel where Western reporters stay. Terrorists completely missed the hotel and blew up a side building. No reporters were injured. We all heard about the suicide bombers in Jordan. I guess they were not aiming for the wedding party. A pair of suicide bombers detonated explosive belts Friday inside two Shiite mosques in the northern Kurdish town of Khanaqin, collapsing the buildings, killing at least 70people.
They are blowing up their own people!
I am not really worried by this vote tonight. More then likely it will result in some sort of meeting in the middle. Republicans will force the issue that leaving Iraq now.. IS SURRENDER. What member of congress wants to go down in recorded history voting for surrender? NO.. there will be quarterly war reports. Detailed progress reports. And maybe some end of war timeline.
The GOP-led Senate this week defeated a Democratic proposal to require President Bush to offer a timetable to withdraw troops from Iraq. The Senate eventually passed a statement saying 2006 "should be a period of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty" to offer the phased withdrawal.
The vote is in.. 403 - 3. Only three in congress voted for surrender to the terrorists. My faith in our political system is restored. With all the screaming from democrats that Bush lied. That Iraqi's don't want us there.. I was worried this might be closer.
I think we hit on something. If you ask a democrat if they want to surrender to the terrorists, they quickly say NO.. They have been brainwashed by liberals to think if we pack up and leave Iraq now, we could still call it a victory. You can't have it both ways….Biff…
