Murtha: "Our soldiers were not trained to be diplomats"

<snip>

"I don't believe the burden of solving the Iraqi problem should fall on our military," said Murtha. "I almost get the impression that this administration is trying to shift the blame to the military by saying it's up to the combat commanders to decide when we're going to leave. It needs to be a political and diplomatic solution. Our soldiers were not trained to be diplomats."
