Person of the Day

Congressman Jack Murtha who is proposing legislation to make the escalation contingent on funding to properly arm, train, rest and care for the troops. There is expected to be an anti-Iran war element to this as well. This will halt the "surge" because Bush has so profoundly neglected the troops in the field and at home.
