On the Eating of Wheaties

Rep. John Murtha makes an angry speech about Iraq, and then presents this motion to the Congress:
Therefore be it

I) Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in

2) Congress assembled,

3) That:

4) Section 1. The deployment of United States forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is

5) hereby terminated and the forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable

6) date.


7) Section 2. A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the-horizon presence of U.S Marines

8) shall be deployed in the region.

9) Section 3 The United States of America shall pursue security and stability in Iraq

10) through diplomacy.
Hooo boy. Remember Iran-Contra? If the motion passes (which it won't, at least not in this Congress) Bush has two choices: He can obey the law, or he can pull a Reagan and stay involved in Iraq in defiance on Congress. Well, it's a family tradition after all...
