Top House Democrat on military spending, Congressman John P. Murtha called for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. The decorated Vietnam War veteran said, "Islamic insurgents are united against U.S. forces, and we have become a catalyst for violence." "It's time to bring them home." Murtha also called the war "a flawed policy wrapped in illusion." Murtha's comments come after the Senate voted on Tuesday to press the administration for concrete steps toward troop withdrawals.
