I agree with Ustwo's characterization.
This guy fires a political bombshell into the public arena - as a representative of the Democratic Party - and he and his party have no right to be asked to officially back it up? The "fair" response would be to give Murtha time to explain exactly what he meant when he said Immediate Withdrawal? But why?
What is there to explain? He didn't say "gradual" withdrawal, or "phased" withdrawal, or "extended" withdrawal, he said Immediate Withdrawal. Pull the troops out NOW. I say call an IMMEDIATE VOTE regarding the IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL proposal, and show to the world whether the Dems as a party share Murtha's opinion.
