Lieberman: It is time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be commander in chief for three more critical years and that in matters of war we undermine presidential credibility at our nation’s peril.
Murtha: Undermining his credibility? What has he said that would give him credibility?

Murtha: Twenty years it’s going to take to settle this thing. The American people is not going to put up with it; can’t afford it. We have spent $277 billion. That’s what’s been appropriated for this operation. We have $50 billion sitting on the table right now in our supplemental, or bridge fund we call it, in the Appropriations Committee. They’re going to ask for another $100 billion next year.
Question: Can we come back to the $100 billion? You said that you expect the military to ask for $100 billion. Where are you getting that figure?
Murtha: Where I get all my figures: the military. ****
