Obama: soldiers 'wasted their lives'

It's bad enough when John Murtha insults one of our greatest allies.

Now 'presidential hopeful' Sen. Barack Obama says that all of our troops who have died in Iraq "wasted their lives". And the crowd he was speaking to actually cheered.

Michelle Malkin has the video.

Kerry. Murtha. Obama. Pelosi. Clinton.

I sure hope we get our asses kicked in Iraq so that these people don't look like complete fools.

***UPDATED***: Well, he's learned from John Kerry, at least. He has apologized for the 'wasted' comment calling it 'a slip of the tongue'.

"Even as I said it, I realized I had misspoken," Obama said. "It is not at all what I intended to say, and I would absolutely apologize if any (military families) felt that in some ways it had diminished the enormous courage and sacrifice that they'd shown."

Sadly typical of the Democratic leadership these days. What's next, rehab?
