Sound like someone you know?

Singer: We are playing two away games currently, however, one in Afghanistan, the other in Iraq. Jack Murtha, a longtime hawk and very respected Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, came out and said recently and also in the past that it's time for America to see a strategic redeployment. In other words, troops should be coming home from Iraq. What do you have to say about those comments of your fellow Pennsylvanian?

Sestak: Jack Murtha, Congressman Murtha did our nation a great service when he first called for a withdrawal of military from Iraq within a year. I support that position. I have since the day I entered the race... I believe we should be out within a year, but let's say at least by the end of 2007, next year. It is extremely important that we have a date certain because we need to use that as a catalyst for the parties within Iraq to understand that we will withdraw and they must come together to address their issues. We also need it as a catalyst in order for us here in America in the bureaucracy to begin to plan for safe withdrawal.

The reason is this was never a clear and present danger. It is a tragic misadventure. There are so many things elsewhere in the world that we are not giving appropriate attention to. I know. I was in the Pentagon. I saw where the scope of our attention was truly focused upon - Iraq. General Shinseki had it right: it would take 200,000 more troops in order to achieve what President Bush has described as victory - a secular, stable government with the insurgency crushed. It is not worth this national treasure of ours to accomplish that when there are other things, including in Afghanistan, which we never, because we diverted our attention, accomplished what we set out to do and where Osama Bin Laden still may be today.

Singer: Let's move on to some domestic issues because I think it's probably a well-founded idea that you are very strong on international and defense issues, but you have relatively less experience on domestic issues - although, of course, you do have a masters and PhD in government related activities. The Senate just agreed with the House's bill to pass $70 billion more in tax cuts. At a time when the budget deficit is immense and the debt ceiling seems to be increasing every few months, is it the right time to be cutting taxes for wealthy investors?

Sestak: This debt that the tax policy and other policies of the Bush administration, of which Curt Weldon, the representative of this district, has voted lock step with, is criminal. What it has done has laid a burden on our children for decades to come of higher interest rates and higher taxes in order to pay off a debt.
