WASHINGTON - Raising the temperature in Congress over U.S. policy in Iraq, a pro-military Democrat who once voted to back the war now says it is time to bring the troops home.

"Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency," Rep. John Murtha said Thursday. "They are united against U.S. forces and we have become a catalyst for violence. The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion."

Of course the Whitehouse's response is to attack anyone who does not share their views as being non-supportive of US Troops.

Apparently the only way we Americans who do not follow Bush's agenda is to support more killing and dying. Apparently the only way to show patriotism is to 'support' bloodshed. It seems to have escaped the Bush Administration that wanting our troops home safe and out of harm's way is also patriotic.

Had we only known that the entire premise for entering Iraq was based on lies and deception of a few money-grubbing chicken hawks, this fiasco would have never happened and lives on both sides continue to be adversely affected by the mayhem resulting from committing this country to a war based on deception and entering it with no exit strategy.
