How do you define immediate? Like as in instantaneous? That's not what murtha called for. Murtha said he thought everyone could be home in six months. So bush's plan calls for six months longer than what murtha called for to drastically reduce troop levels. The difference being that murtha wanted to get all the troops home save for a quick response force. People flipped out at murtha's plan because that's like "cutting and running" because we wouldn't be fulfilling our responsibility to clean up our own mess. According to the article, bush's plan quite possibly will also fail to fulfill our responsibility to clean up our own mess.
My question is: is there anyone who honestly thinks that the american military has the cure for whats wrong with iraq?
