Murtha on Bush

Murtha assails Bush in Downtown speech - PittsburghLIVE.com:

"The only way Bush can show he is ready to seriously change direction and pursue a diplomatic solution to the war is if he makes 'substantial' changes in his administration, Murtha told about 100 people attending a luncheon sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh at the DoubleTree Hotel, Downtown.

'Nobody can believe these guys anymore,' Murtha, D-Johnstown, told reporters after his speech, in which he listed the reasons he believes the Bush administration has 'mishandled, mischaracterized and misrepresented' the planning and management of the war.

Whether it's Bush's fault or not that things are going badly in Iraq, Murtha said, 'he's getting blamed for it, so he needs to make some substantial changes' in his top staff. 'He's got to let loyalty and friendship take a subservient position to the good of the country.'"
