The "War Room" is meant to foster discussion about the world and US foreign policy. The editors believe that everyone has a right and a duty to be heard about what gets done in our name. So we invite you to argue, blame, bloviate, criticize, discuss, praise, rant, read, and write right here. Please have at least some evidence to back up what you've got to say.

Dugout Dick

Three cheers for Congressman John Murtha, who has called for a withdrawal from Iraq. Naturally the Bushies immediately started to attack, or as John Kerry phrased it, "Swift Boat" Murtha. But the Marine (there's no such thing as a "former Marine") can defend himself against the likes of Vice President Dick Cheney:

"I like guys who got five deferments and (have) never been there and send people to war, and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done."

It is interesting how Cheney is calling for a debate about the Iraq War while he continues to blast anyone who is opposed to it. Forget the debate - how about a trial in front of the World Court.
