Easier said than done

Jack Murtha is finding out tonight what happens when your ideas are turned into a congressional resolution. If you are a congressman that is something to ponder prior to speaking. A Republican congresscritter decided to see if the Dems mean what they say when they call for immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Amazingly 3 people called for immediate withdrawal and several others either abstained or were not present. 403 voted to keep troops there. So now the question which should be obvious is, if the war is so unpopular, why don't the dems want to be on the side of getting out now?

I will say, for the sake of balance that the Bush plan for the war was also way easier said than done. Notwithstanding that the war has gone well when compared historically, the American people seem to have less tolerance for American loss of life than ever. It certainly has not helped (and in my opinion encouraged the resistance) that many dems have made this political. But also importantly we are fighting a different kind of enemy.
