I think it(Murtha's actions) are definitely a diversion tactic and I really don't think it matters much what the diversion is. If you look at his(Murtha's) background demagoging the military the way he does makes little sense. It's done more for dramatic theme and diversion effect IMHO. HIs constant harping about how terrible the war is keeps the topic of the day off what it should be, his deception and corruption in allotting defense contracts. Hopefully his day will come.
ref #571, that is exactly what I am talking about,but he is too old and out of it to do this by himself. He can still read a script they have set up for him and the MSM/DNC will still hover around him, and document all his hate speech.
