Andrew P. Hunter: “let me just reiterate to my friend, he said this should not be about Mr. Murtha, and it is not about Mr. Murtha. It is…”

“let me just reiterate to my friend, he said this should not be about Mr. Murtha, and it is not about Mr. Murtha. It is about the message that has been sent around the world, as evidenced by e-mails coming back in from our troops now who think that the Congress is pulling the rug out from under the mission. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would ask Members to respect the gavel and the time yielded. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I do not know a single Democrat who supports the Hunter resolution that would basically provide for the immediate withdrawal without the protection for our troops. This is a counterfeit. This is an insult to this institution. And to not allow us to have a real debate, to not allow us to bring up different proposals, I think, undercuts the process. Mr. Speaker, I yield 15 seconds to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey).”
