I saw Chris Matthews interview with Murtha tonight and Matthews was more than willing to pimp the "war hawk" angle. He must have used the word a half a dozen times.
James Taranto shows why that characterization of Murtha is simply off, at least as it pertains to Iraq.
But read this quote from Murtha, from last night on Lehrer:
Well, I say that the fight against Americans began with Abu Ghraib. It began with the invasion of Iraq. That's when terrorism started. It didn't start when there was criticism of this administration. This administration doesn't want to listen to any ideas.
Aside from the confusion as to when terrorism began, invasion or Abu Ghraib, the suggestion that the "fight against Americans" didn't exist before Iraq makes me wonder if Murtha hasn't taken leave of his senses.
