Yes. Yesterday, al-Murthawi himself repeated the civil war mantra.
Murtha: And everything that I've said since November 17th of last year turned out to be true.
And the intelligence reports which you just saw, which were leaked to the press, have indicated that we're actually causing terrorism by being in Iraq.
We've diverted ourselves away from the real war on terrorism, which is worldwide and police work, and we've put our troops in the middle of a civil war.
Next thing we know, al-Murthawi will assert that the world is flat; after all, Saudi teachers taught it, as recently as the 1970s.
What did he do in Vietnam, anyway? He uses his service record to shield himself from criticism, but unlike John Kerry, he won't say anything about his romp in the swamp. For all we know, his tour of duty could have been a desk job in Saigon.
