Dear NRCC Supporter,

I want to alert you to an article that appeared in the National Review on Monday. Representative John Murtha of Pennsylvania appeared at a town hall meeting in Arlington, Virginia last week and made a stunning statement about the war in Iraq.

Here is an excerpt of the National Review article, written by Byron York, January 9, 2006:

Representative John Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has come to national prominence since his call for a quick withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, said Thursday night that he worries about “a slow withdrawal which makes it look like there’s victory.”

Appearing at a town meeting in Arlington, Virginia, with fellow Democratic Rep. James Moran, Murtha said, “A year ago, I said we can’t win this militarily, and I got all kinds of criticism.” Now, Murtha told the strongly antiwar audience, “I worry about a slow withdrawal which makes it look like there’s victory when I think it should be a redeployment as quickly as possible and let the Iraqis handle the whole thing.”

Representative Murtha’s comments are a perfect representation of the Democrats’ defeatist attitudes towards the war in Iraq and the President. Democrats like John Murtha apparently are no longer concerned about the well-being of the Iraqi people; they are only focused on their political gains in Washington and disagreeing with President Bush. Our armed forces are fighting diligently each day to make Iraq and the world safer. The Iraqi people appreciate this and are now able to experience living in a Democracy.

President Bush is aware that our troops must come home and that America should not be in Iraq indefinitely. But he also knows that the job must be completed. As one of the greatest powers in the world, we must help the citizens of Iraq establish a country which is safe and free.

The Republicans in Congress are working hard to support the President, to ensure a safe Iraq and to bring our troops home as soon as possible. Your support of the Republicans in the House of Representatives is vital as the war in Iraq is going to be an important issue in the 2006 election. The Republicans in Washington will not sink to the defeatist attitudes of Democratic Congressmen like John Murtha because they know the job in Iraq must be finished.

Sincerely,

Tom Reynolds, M.C.
Chairman
