Congress fights over whether we can "afford" to provide every American with quality health care, but every health care reform proposal on the table will likely cost less than McChrystal's endless war.

Welcome to Murthaville, home to the John Murtha Institute for Applied Generosity and the John Murtha Attack Submarine Test Facility and Senior Center.
You can always use an extra transport plane -- that's the way I figured it. I knew just where to find one, too. I called Congress.
Our bloated defense budget is another example of how campaign finance skews policy and spending priorities towards those who give the most and often have significant influence.
I understand, to a point, CREW's stance on Chairman Murtha, but I believe their perspective and that of many of his other critics to be both narrow and shortsighted.
Murtha is a crook, and if the House Democrats were serious about fighting corruption, they would have expelled him from the caucus when the first definitive corruption stories broke.
Obama's proposed tactics in the AfPak region have certainly been scrutinized, but truly vocal criticisms have maintained low decibel levels... until now.
A progressive presidency is a terrible thing to waste. It only comes around once every so often. Wouldn't it be a shame if Americans' hopes for the Obama administration were squandered in Afghanistan?
There will always be co-workers who like to disagree, who think they're never wrong, and who have the ability to suck the energy right out of the room. Don't let them bring you down.
I am now certain that the Democratic Party is fit and ready to lead this nation. I have seen it in action and it works and works well!
John Murtha is in a political dogfight, with wingnuts pouring in money and resources to support a candidate who doesn't even know the district Murtha has represented for 34 years.
The candidate calls himself Lieutenant Colonel Russell. Like him, I'm a retired LtCol, but I seldom go by that title and if I do use it, I always identify myself retired as required by regulations.
The right wing spin doctors raise money off the very name Murtha but what really came out of the Haditha investigations? Not what you think.
We, the taxpayers, will be the ones to pay the bill when it comes due.
f Washington's been a swamp since George W. Bush took office in 2000, then McCain's been wading in it with his thigh-high muck-boots.
Five years ago today, President Bush declared "mission accomplished." 1,827 days later, the U.S. occupation of Iraq continues, and our "mission" remains undefined and open-ended.
Tom Andrews, former Member of Congress and National Director of Win Without War, discusses the coming Congressional vote on funding for the war in Ira...
After five years, more than 4,000 American lives lost, and over $535 billion spent, less than 25% of the Iraqi population is under Iraqi control.
If Gilchrest's new, bipartisan push for real diplomacy with Iran and Syria gains support, it would put significant pressure on the administration to curtail its policy of confrontation with Iran.
Our military cannot guarantee Iraqi economic progress or government efficacy, and we must not be fooled by those who say there will be chaos if we leave Iraq.
