To the Rear, March . . .

Congressman Jack Murtha appeared on NPR today and outlined the next step of the Democrats in Congress to end U.S. military involvment in Iraq. His plan is to place into the supplemental appropriations bill -- upcoming in March -- a law tha would strip commanders of their authority to extend the tour of duty for units in Iraq, evidently irregardless of the ground situation, and to establish a criteria limiting when a unit can be deployed into Iraq based on training and equipment readiness. Additionally, he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay.

Update: Politico has an article on the strategy of House Democrats to assure defeat in Iraq
