Cheney, Rumsfeld back current Iraq policy

In recent comments, both Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld don't see the need to change course in Iraq. Congressman John Murtha has not swayed their opionions.

From AP:

Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday said he strongly disagrees with a battle-tested congressman who advocates quickly pulling all U.S. troops from Iraq, calling such a proposal "a dangerous illusion."

But Cheney stopped short of joining those Republicans who have questioned the patriotism and courage of Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., calling him "a good man, a Marine, a patriot." Cheney's subdued comments about Murtha followed those of President Bush and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
