DKos:

The GOP is trying to frame Murtha's plan of requiring improved troop readiness as the exact opposite.

According the GOP: Murtha's plan

is to "cut funding",

is a "strategy to pull the rug out from under our troops", and

is a "slow bleed" approach.

RESPONSE

If we don't make sure to hammer the point that Murtha's plan calls for the very opposite soon and often, the GOP lies will prevail.

Murtha's plan calls for

Sufficient soldier training,

Sufficient equipment, and

Reasonable deployment and leave time.

Murtha's plan protects the troops. It pulls the rug out from under Bush by protecting the troops from his abuse of their readiness to serve.
