The Cronkite Moment: The Bushies don't know it yet, but today is going to go down as the Day the War Ended. After today, there is not even the pretense that the Iraqi Adventure can be considered to have bipartisan support. John Murtha, who in his thirty years on the Hill has one of the most hawkish records in Congress, made an eloquent case on national television to bring the boys home. The Pennsylvania Congressman, who as this critical blog notes, is not a Johnny-Come-Lately when it comes to calling the neocons on the carpet for their bungling ineptitude (two years ago he was demanding that a number of Administration officials resign for their botched handling and preparations for this war, obviously well before the President's approval numbers reached Nixonian levels), has now taken a position that would have been considered radical just a few months ago. Murtha, Hagel, Kerry; all Vietnam War vets, all men who didn't have other priorities when they were of age and their country sought their participation in a previously misguided adventure, now demanding, in one form or another, that the governing class set aside their collective egos and put an end to this folly at once.
