LOU DOBBS: "HAS THIS WHITE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP GONE NUTS?"

"Has this White House communications group gone nuts?" Lou Dobbs just asked of David Gergen, relative to administrative attacks upon Congressman Jack Murtha. Gergen said Murtha is very close to U.S. generals, that he "speaks for the generals." The fact that Murtha broke and that he "came out swinging against Dick Cheney," Gergen said, is telling.

Lou was referring to BushCo attacks upon moderately conservative Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA), "Mister Military," VietNam war hero, retired Marine Colonel, decades-long defender of our fighting men and women and the man Dick Cheney once called "a Democrat I can work with" and credited for teaching him about the military, for getting fed up and issuing a call for an immediate plan for withdrawal of our troops from Iraq.

Wow. Veteran Republican strategist Ed Rollins just said, "I'm a Republican, and I don't know what the strategy [for the Iraq War] is anymore."
