It what has to be the shortest blip on the radar screen, the brief attempt to mandate a cut and run policy has made history. The extreme leftist wing of the Democrat party probably cornered poor ol' John Murtha and made him trot out his proposal. They knew he had a fine combat record, and believed that his record would provide a valid shield against any criticism of the proposal to cut and run. What they failed to realize is that the general population could clearly see through the canard, and rejected his proposal decisively. When a legislative attempt to presented to make legislators go on the record, to either put up or shut up, the vast majority on both sides of the aisle voted against anything like Murtha proposed. He even voted against it.
