It seems that in 1993, Rep. John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania) was one of the movers and shakers in Washington DC urging then President Clinton to pull out of Somalia. You remember Somalia right? The "Blackhawk Down" incident! So he and his cronies get Clinton to pull us out of Somalia, and then in 1998, Osama bin Laden sites Somalia in his declaration of war against the United States, declares that it is proof as to why al Qaeda will defeat us, and uses that as motivation to this day as to why his fighters should not give up hope even though they are suffering massive losses. And now, the same John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania) is urging that we pursue the same course in Iraq that we did in Somalia.
Huh?
If Osama bin Laden used the US pullout of Somalia as a source of motivation and propaganda in 1998, wouldn't logic dictate that he or some other jihadist wannabe would use a pullout of Iraq in the same way? And if that is logical to assume, isn't it also logical to conclude that Rep. John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania) is actually helping Osama and his ilk achieve their goal at most, and as a tool for motivation and propaganda at least?
Sorry, I forgot: Democrats don't like logic - gets in the way of their world view!
