John Bresnahan at The Politico examines [1] Murtha’s latest remarks on the surge and contrasts them with defeatist remarks he’s made about the surge in the past.
The money quote actually comes at the end, from a Democrat other than Murtha:
“This could be a real headache for us,” said one top House Democratic aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “Pelosi is going to be furious.”
She won’t be the only [2] furious [3] Democrat [4].
In the meantime, the Congress’ failure to send a clean war funding bill to the President is already having a negative effect on our military [5] which, I suspect, is exactly their intent [6].
This is “supporting the troops” – Democrat style.
