Moving the Senate Dems to Murtha's plan
it's time for the Dems in the Senate to figure out how to "migrate their positions" ... Pelosi said several times today, including her appearance on the Daily Show which was great, that she now supports Murtha's resolution and that a majority in the House is likely to support it as well ... Pelosi emphasized multiple times that the House is ahead of the Senate on Iraq ...

the Senate Dems need to get on the train before it leaves the station ... if they don't move, they will undermine the efforts of the House and they will alienate much of their base ... so, let's hear your best ideas for what they can say to "migrate their positions" on Iraq to move to Murtha's position in conjunction with their colleagues in the House ... fwiw, here's my script:

"it's clear the president will not listen to reason on Iraq ... he wants to stubbornly cling to his ill-conceived hope that things would just all work out ... Democrats in the Senate had hoped he would develop a specific plan for success but it's become clear he just will not listen to reason ... this refusal to accept reality leaves us with no other choice ... we are now, as a Party, fully aligned with Congressman's Murtha's call for the immediate redeployment of American troops out of Iraq ... our troops have to come first and subjecting them to more of the president's open-ended war in Iraq is not acceptable ..."

2. Murtha's plan isn't complete IMO, and only refers to placement
of the troops elsewhere. it's certainly a start and should be hashed out with a more comprehensive Senate plan.
