The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense has begun consideration of the president's $93 billion supplemental appropriations request for Iraq. Action on the request will be the first opportunity for the new Congress to exercise its power-of-the-purse over the Iraq war.
Chairman Murtha will describe his strategy for not only limiting the deployment of troops to Iraq but undermining other aspects of the president's foreign and national security policy. [Emphasis added - j]
A sitting congressman talking about how he plans to undermine the lawfully elected president of the United States. Ladies and gentlemen, that is sedition.
In a healthy society, there might be consequenses for talking like that. As it is, Rep. Murtha just guaranteed himself some big honking contributions to his re-election fund. Is it any wonder that Osama bin Laden described us as the "weak horse?"
