Rep. John Murtha could have delivered this speech arguing in favor of a US withdrawal a year ago and it would have been a timely recognition of the realities inside Iraq, rather than long over due. Nothing in his analysis was any different then. But by the normative standards of this Congress he's still way ahead of the curve, and he makes the case for getting the fuck out almost better than I have, if only because he doesn't squander his time refuting absurd arguments about preventing civil wars the US has been encouraging by keeping US troops there. :P
