06/16 06:27 PM
Rep. John Murtha appeared on The Situation Room this afternoon to talk about the Iraq resolution that passed in the House today. He spoke against the resolution and advocated withdrawing the troops like Clinton did in Somalia
MURTHA: The thing that disturbed me and worries me about this whole thing is we cant get them to change direction. And I said over and over in debate, if you listen to any of it, in Beirut President Reagan changed direction, in Somalia President Clinton changed direction, and yet here, with the troops out there every day, suffering from these explosive devices, and being looked at as occupiers 80 percent of the people want us out of there and yet they continue to say, "Were fighting this thing." Were not fighting this. The troops are fighting this thing. Thats whos doing the fighting
