Pelosi supports Murtha for majority leader

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Likely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will back prominent Iraq war critic John Murtha over her current deputy for majority leader in the Democratic-led Congress, Murtha's office announced Sunday.

In a letter released by Murtha's office, Pelosi told the Pennsylvania congressman that his surprise call for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq in 2005 "changed the national debate and helped make Iraq the central issue of this historic election."

"Your leadership gave so many Americans, including respected military leaders, the encouragement to voice their own disapproval at a failed policy that weakens our military and makes stability in that region even more difficult to achieve," she wrote.

Now there's a one-two punch that's sure to hurt our servicemen, and the Iraqi people. With Murtha's "leadership" the Democrats will have the military in full retreat within a few months of the opening session of the 110th congress.

Despite what they may have said, it looks like "cut and run" will still be high on the Democrat agenda. Rep. Murtha may want to avoid "another Vietnam", but he's well on the way to producing the same results in Iraq -- just with far fewer U.S. Casualties. His six month timetable for leaving Iraq is going to embolden the terrorists (I still refuse to call them "insurgents").

Within six months of leaving Iraq, we can expect a similar result to the one that occurred when the U.S. cut and run in Vietnam, with the terrorists overrunning Bagdad and capturing control of the country. The Democratic leadership and the media will have finally done it. They will have re-lived their "glory days" from the 1960s and 1970s when their thoughtless protests ultimately resulted in an American loss of will, followed by the loss of the war and a loss of American prestige in the world.

And once again, another nation will have to suffer for their folly. And the world will be an even more dangerous place.
