Look, Up in the White House...It's Splatman

[cal04]

Crooks and Liars has some video clips up from today's Sunday morning gabfests. All I can say is "ouch."

First, there is this clip from Rep. John Murtha's appearance on Face the Nation:
The public is way ahead of what’s going on in Washington. They no longer believe it. The troops themselves, 70 percent of the troops said we want to come home within a year. The only solution to this is to redeploy. 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.

Murtha comes across as not only very credible, but also as caring about the lives of our troops, the consequences of the horrible choices made by the Bush Administration, and as having some serious sources at high levels in the military who are having the same concerns. Perhaps because all of that is true -- you can really feel the anger on behalf of the nation and its men and women in uniform coming off Murtha in waves, can't you? Boo yah.

It's getting ugly in Washington for George Bush. And its about damn time -- if ever a President earned scorn and disgust, it is this one.

1. Excellent points--we are depleting our resources on this

war, much to the pleasure of other nations.
