My plan calls:
To immediately redeploy U.S. troops consistent with the safety of U.S. forces.
To create a quick reaction force in the region.
To create an over- the- horizon presence of Marines.
To diplomatically pursue security and stability in Iraq

Diplomatically pursue security and stability in Iraq...ok so we send condi to negotiate with who exactly? They guy wearing the bomb? Zarqawi? Syrian gov't? Thats the most assinine plan I've heard all day.
If we leave iraq, the terrorist bombings will not stop. Mosques will continue to be blown up. Markets and banks will continue to be blown up. The people of any arab country that conducts business with the iraqi government will be targeted.
Either some people can't see the picture or refuse to believe their own eyes. All-out civil war has not happened. howmany times has that horizon been predicted and come to pass with out civil war? Iraqis know what they want and they don't want anymore war. The terrorists in iraq want war. Withdrawing our troops will not stop their indescriminate bombings of civillian targets.
Murtha is only suggesting total withdrawl because he knows it will not happen.
