Murtha backtracks on Iraq remarks
My post yesterday quoted Democrat John Murtha, who said that the situation in Iraq is better.

The clarification came after House Republicans circulated an article about Murtha’s comments written in Friday’s edition of his home-state Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after a teleconference from Murtha’s Johnstown, Pa., office. In addition to saying that the surge is working, the Post-Gazette reported, Murtha called the Iraqi government “dysfunctional” and said, “The thing that has to happen is the Iraqis have to do this themselves. We can't win it for them.”
