Jaws

Editors at Investor's Business Daily entered the fray surrounding John Murtha's proposal that would restrict troop deployment to Iraq to only those troops who have been properly trained and equipped. Despite its true intent, that doesn't seem all that radical a proposal, considering how we're all supposed to be all about "support the troops." Nonetheless, the right wing smear is on and IBD has lumped itself together with the rest of the noise machine by claiming that Murtha's proposal would, and I'm not making this up,

snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Anyone taking investment advice from these people might want to look around for a second opinion.
