Murtha: MoveOn Buries Its Head in the Sand

Baird: MoveOn Goes Ballistic

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) Today: "I think the 'surge' is working..." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 11/30/07) But back in June, Rep. Murtha said: "I'm absolutely convinced right now the surge isn't working..." (ABC’s "This Week," 6/3/07)

"MoveOn targets pro-surge Democrat "Rep. Brian Baird's (D-Wash.) recent conversion on the Iraq war is beginning to affect more than the national dialogue. On Wednesday, liberal group MoveOn.org announced an ad campaign against the congressman in his own district. "Baird recently returned from a trip to Iraq and reversed his position on a withdrawal timetable, citing military progress in the four-year-old war. "MoveOn is calling the move a 'flip-flop' and says it goes against the views of his constituents." (The Hill, 8/29/07)
