Murtha on Iraq

John Murtha

Today:

Let me tell you, the only people who want us in Iraq is Iran and al-Qaeda. I've talked to a top-level commander the other day, it was about two weeks ago, and he said China wants us there also. Why? Because we're depleting our resources - our troop resources and our fiscal resources.


Well, actually, he forgot Poland Lieberman.

Actually, no. China and Russia don't want us there. See USA article. Don't have the link, but those two countries are holding hands now. Iran wants to sell its oil to Japan, China etc. and China, Japan etc. wish we would stay out of their business. They don't have Saudi ARAMCO. Murtha may be taking a heroic stand for the time, but he is a hawk with altmodish coldwar ideas.
