terminating the deployment?

- Write your congresscritter. They're talking about Iraq pullout plans these days. Jack Murtha -- who apparently was all on board at the beginning and had historically been a military sort -- has decided that the war is no longer a good idea. Right-o; the article from AfterDowningStreet is here. Important bits from the bill:

"The deployment of United States forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is hereby terminated and the forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable date.

"A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the-horizon presence of U.S. Marines shall be deployed in the region.

"The United States of America shall pursue security and stability in Iraq through diplomacy."

- Dennis Kucinich getting fiesty (wmv link) -- "... find out why almost everything of significance we were told about the war turned out to be false ... expose the fakery when we see it!"
