"Representative John P. Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat and former marine who has become a fierce critic of the Iraq war, said now that a "real thorn" in the side of the Americans has been removed, Iraqi forces were trained and a government was in place, the Bush administration should compose a timetable for the withdrawal of American troops.
"We cannot win this," he said in an interview on CNN. "It is a civil war they are involved in. Al Qaeda is a small part of this."
He added, "We have Sunnis fighting Shiites and the Americans are caught in between."
The insurgency and violence in Iraq is fueled by a complicated fabric of foreign fighters, Saddam Hussein loyalists and other groups, while most recently, militias have been blamed for sectarian strife."

American soldiers caught up in a civil war? Do you agree with Murtha that a timetable is needed? |

We're not out to win anything. We're just trying to get the Iraqui population comfortable. I'm for pulling out our troops within six momths. Don't you kinda wonder what countries all these insurgents are coming from? The pot is boiling. Time to turn off the heat.
