President Bush takes it to Rep. Jack Murtha’s home state today with a Philadelphia speech, his third address on progress in Iraq in recent weeks.
This notion that Murtha isn’t calling for retreat but “redeployment” (pushed by Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation) just doesn’t wash in light of comments like, “I’ve finally come to the conclusion that we’re the enemy.” Hopefully Bush hits him hard on this.
UPDATE (10:51 a.m.): Bush speaks at 11:15 a.m. Murtha responds with his own Philly press conference at 1:30 p.m. The Democrats must think Murtha is such a hit that he’s their A-team response. Makes you wonder what the B-team looks like.
