Looks like they are going to vote on this tonight...
Anyone think this resolution may pass? http://apnews.myway.com/article/20051118/D8DV3NHG7.html

Re: Troop Pullout Vote
It will fail. The Repubs made a good move here. The best the dems can do it say that the resolution is a republican one and not what Cong. Murtha suggested. Focus on making it clear that this is a republican resolution and that it is not at all similar to Murtha's idea. Follow it up with "I would gladly vote yes on Murtha's amendment that says.... and hope we get a chance to very soon" They must gain distance between the republican amendment and what Murtha actually proposed.

Re: Troop Pullout Vote
Of course it will fail.
It's a Republican "rewrite" of Murtha's bill that is specifically designed to be unacceptable. It's a political propaganda ploy, and is not worthy of being treated as anything more. q/q

Re: Troop Pullout Vote
Trust me when I say the House Repulbicans will be screaming for Bush to make a substantial troop withdrawl right before the 2006 elections.
Most politcal columnists are already predicting it to happen with about 40 to 50,000 being brought back home.

Re: Troop Pullout Vote
Murtha's bill said something along the lines of, "as soon as is feasible". What does that mean? Try to put a rough timetable on that.
If it is just another way of saying as soon as the job is done, then there is no need to introduce the bill. If he is implying a specific timetable, he should state it. A large majority of American's want troops to be withdrawn immediately. Why not do it proper and introduce a resolution saying as much. Apparently having majority opinion on your side isn't even enough to get Dems to take a stand.
