"...retired Arab statesmen..." You know who he is talking about here? Marwan Mu`ashshir. If this is not hilarious, nothing is. But this is typical: all US puppets in the Middle East are referred to in US mainstream media and government propagandists as "statesmen", like Sanyurah, King PlayStation III (and his father before him), Anwar Nazi Sadat, Abu Mazen, and Abus-Sattar Abu Risha.
