Polipundit links to John O'Neil of the Swiftboat Vets commenting on the John Murtha and his calls for the withdrawal of our troops in Iraq. He pretty much hits this one on the head regarding last weeks vote on immediate withdrawal from Iraq,
Indeed, this past Thursday night, the nation watched the bizarre spectacle of a Democratic Party speaking in favor of immediate withdrawal but too afraid to even cast a vote recording for posterity these convictions.
I agree. If the democrats really wanted to stay the course, there would have been no rancorous debate. They would have gladly lined up to cast their votes in favor of staying the course. But they do not want to stay the course, thus they squealed like pigs. Long story short, O'Neill is right, they want to leave yesterday but do not have the courage to come right out and do something about it.
