The military has spoken! They have told Congress that they need the equipment that Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) and other congressmen have been pushing for, like better-armored vehicles and equipment to interfere with the remote controls that trigger the improvised explosive devices. The GOP can't seem to find the money to properly outfit our military, yet they keep sending American men and women to Iraq ill-prepared for what they will face once there. While Rep. Murtha is out there, speaking loudly in support of the troops, bottomfeeders like Hugh Hewitt are creating websites to criticize Republicans and Democrats alike who disagree with the Bush surge. In the meantime, the Democrats in the House are trying to take Bush's war powers away from him. Jared and Ralph tell you all about the GOP's desperate attempts to hold on to this war.
