Congress Rejects Iraq Exit Bill

"Our troops have become the enemy. We need to change direction in Iraq," said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Democratic hawk whose call a day earlier for pulling out troops sparked a nasty, personal debate over the war.
After listening to the Democrats politicize the war and show their lack of support for the troops and what they are fighting for by calling for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, the Republicans tell them to put their money where their mouth is and vote on it. Democrats respond by saying "Oh, never mind".
The House voted 403-3 to reject a nonbinding resolution...Like most Democrats, Murtha voted against the measure.
