Al Murtha is the correct usage.

It is appareantly no guarantee that a person who has once demonstrated courage and gallantry under fire will not revert to type when no longer in a combat situation. Al Murtha is, of course, besides a highly decorated war hero, also an unindicted subject of ABSCAM and a notoriously “progressive” and pork dealing member of the Democratic Majority.

Randy Cunningham also comes to mind. Viet Nam era Navy figher ace who used his office to enrich himself through bribery and whatnot. Totally dishonered himself and the Naval Service, while betraying the office he held and the oath he took.

Al Murtha pretty much fits right in with the Duke.

Has having to wear the garments of those unclean women for the last few years brought about any changes in your outlook on life? Perhaps like bringing out your more feminine side? Less mysogenist, more…gay?

1. As a founding member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad (and a big fan of its tenets)and as a “trained surgeon”, should female genital mutilation (known prosaically as female circumcision….) be performed with the jagged edge of a coke bottle or with a rusty razor blade ?

2. What kind of a “new” bride did you select in those far reaches of Waziristan ? Was the lucky girl older than 16 ?

You’d think this would be the sort of guy who might be honest in his dealing concerning the fates of soldiers.

Or you could shill for a unjust war, even against a bad, bad enemy.

It both can be and is both.

Example. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan have laws and courts much more in line with Sharia than say, Japan, the USA or Spain… and yet the former nations are backwards, poor, repressive hellholes while the latter are places of invention, wealth and general contentment.

If Sharia is the ideal form of government and culture why is it that those places that are closest to the Sharia ideal the most horrible places to live?
