House Democrat Wants Immediate Iraq Pullout

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - An influential House Democrat who voted for the Iraq war called Thursday for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, another sign of growing unease in Congress about the conflict.

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., called for the United States "to immediately redeploy U.S. troops consistent with the safety of U.S. forces."

"With a U.S. troop redeployment, the Iraqi security forces will be incentified [...]

Good idea. And while we're at it, let's pull them out of the quagmire of Western Europe and Japan. They've been there for sixty years now, and it's time to let the incentify the Europeans and Japanese. Same thing with those Koreans. Incentify 'em all.

A friend once told me that you just couldn't learn ignorance anything. I think he was using ignorance to mean stupid. Murtha must have learned from the way we incentified the South Vietnamese in 1974 by cutting off their funding for ammunition and spare parts.

Idiot!

Can a guy be influential if most of us have never heard of him?

In other words, if a piece of dead wood barks in Congress, is he still wasting taxpayer money?

Maybe by "influential," they mean "under the influence."
