"At This Point" - interesting way Murtha said that line. Like he wanted more.

I remember Burke Breathed's take on this in vintage [i]Bloom County[/i] ... Milo is dressed like an Arab and he's sitting on a bench next to corrupt Senator Bedfellows.
He offers him a bribe and the Senator refuses, correctly identifying him as Milo.
"Not true!" Milo protest and he 'starts to look' for his drivers license to prove he's not Milo Bloom.
"Would you hold this for me?" he offers the Senator a roll of cash.
Binkley immediately pops up and takes a pic of the Senator taking a bribe from an Arab.
Funny thing is: Breathed got the "Drive-by Media" perfectly even if he missed the mark on the politicians.

"At this point."
I wonder if this point came just before he turned anti-American on us?

My Enemy's Enemy by George Crile
Excerpt:
It was only the beginning of the extraordinary maneuvers Wilson had to make to push this bill through a highly reluctant Congress. By then even his most reliable ally, John Murtha, the chairman of the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, wanted to end the CIA program. Murtha was appalled at reports of the mujahideen's drug trafficking, but in the end he stood with Charlie, and his support guaranteed the bill's passage in the House. It was passed in the Senate that fall. The secret appropriation was hidden in the $298 billion Defense bill for fiscal year 1992. When it was presented for a vote, no one but the interested few noticed the $200 million earmarked for the Afghans.
And so, as the mujahideen were poised for their thirteenth year of war, instead of being cut off; it turned out to be a banner year. They found themselves with not only a $400 million budget but also with a cornucopia of new weaponry sources that opened up when the United States decided to send the Iraqi weapons captured during the Gulf War to the mujahideen.
