How exactly can House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defend the obstruction of $200 billion in emergency combat operations funding for our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan when one of her closest cronies, the Vietnam vet she tried to install as House majority leader, now believes America is winning the war there?

So posits Investor’s Business Daily in an editorial entitled “Murtha’s Muddle.”

The piece goes through many of the same points found here. However, it concludes:

Democrats have invested everything in losing the war in Iraq and blaming it on President Bush, and now they’ve been proved wrong. Murtha has admitted it; other Democrats, one by one, will follow.

How much faith can Americans place in a party so committed to a national failure — and now so discredited?
