Rick Perry Says Obama Administration Rhetoric about U.S. Marines Urinating on Dead Taliban Fighters is “Way over the Top” and Shows “Disdain for the Military” ~ Thank you Gov. Perry!!
Rick Perry talking to CNN’s Candy Crowley where he was asked how he would handle the controversy over a video showing U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban fighters. Perry said while it was a “stupid mistake” by “18, 19 year-old kids,” to “call it a criminal act” is “over-the-top rhetoric” that shows the “disdain for the military” of “this administration.”

Here's what John McCain had to say about Perry's position.
"The Marine Corps prides itself that we don't lower ourselves to the level of the enemy," McCain said when asked about Perry's position. "So it makes me sad more than anything else, because ... I can't tell you how wonderful these people (Marines) are. And it hurts their reputation and their image." ...
"We're trying to win the hearts and minds" of the Afghanistan population, he said. "And when something like that comes up, it obviously harms that ability."
Trying to win their hearts and minds? Isn't that the same bull shit that was said during Vietnam?
