Murtha predicted most troops will be out of Iraq within a year.
"I predict he'll make it look like we're staying the course," Murtha said, referring to Bush. "Staying the course is not a policy."
Murtha, 73, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, expressed pessimism about Iraq's stability and said the Iraqis know who the insurgents are, but don't always share that information with U.S. troops. He said a civil war is likely because of ongoing factionalism among Sunni Arabs, and Kurds and Shiites.
"I admit I made a mistake when I voted for war," Murtha said. "I'm looking at the future of the United States military."

Alzheimer's disease comes to some people rapidly and Murtha is slipping fast. At least he is making the most of his 15 minutes of fame...
