Man with a plan

Murtha's got one, Bush doesn't. Must read of the day. This should have been the Democrats rebuttal to the SOTU. Just read it but here's one quote.
But the thing that worries me is, every time we make a substantive recommendation like redeployment of the troops to the periphery, so that our troops are out of danger, and do it as quickly as possible, we get rhetoric of defeatism.

I mean, when he says “a plan for victory”—what is the plan? We‘ve got to give the Iraqis an incentive to take over. They‘ve had their election, they‘ve got a democratic government there. The Sunnis are not too happy about it, it‘s going to be very difficult. But they‘ve got to fight for it themselves, just like we had to fight for our own democracy in the United States.
And ironically, Americans are now left fighting to keep the freedoms at home from being trampled in the name of "war powers" necessary to bring "freedom" abroad.
