A triumphant Rep. John Murtha describes what will happen if he’s elected Majority Leader, to a sympathetic interviewer at NPR: Murtha to Run for Majority Leader in New Congress. (Hat tip: John.)

Regarding Iraq:

Winning is not a strategy, victory is not a strategy.

What the Dems will do:

We’re gonna say, here’s a plan that we have, and Speaker Pelosi has signed on to the plan I have, stability in the Middle East, stability in Iraq comes from redeployment of our troops, and that’s gonna be what we’ll work for.

On the Presidency:

Listen, this is not a dictatorship. The President can say all he wants to. The President has, has no power. The President is a, a perception of power. And he’s lost that power in this election.
