House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. John Murtha, both vocal war critics, were in the Iraqi capital Friday at the head of a delegation of House members on a fact-finding mission as the White House and Congress dueled over the expansion of U.S. forces in Iraq.
I'm all in favor of them having all the facts they can absorb. God knows, they need some.
But I do hope that Representative Murtha isn't too upset that the CENTCOM people won't helicopter him out to that "nearby" Okinawa as long as he's in the Middle East.
