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?
that's great. Perhaps Obama can shed some light on the waste of heroic American lives for the past 225 years, and help us to better understand history. A small few, unfortunately, have been wasted. But they were wasted alongside their brothers protecting and saving lives while supporting an important mission and a task greater than themselves. After all, isn't that what they are doing? It disgusts me that our men and women in uniform can serve their country in enemy territory and give their lives, if necessary, while some asshole back in the world can discuss how worthless it is.

America wake up! Obama is just another Eli Cohen. A successful spy. Obame pretends to be a christain but his words and action does not show he is a christain. He is about to finish his work; to ruin USA. The lifelong dream of the jihadists. Why is he always in support of "the blame America first Jihadist/communist hatred syndrome"? Why is he supporting Iran? Why did he snike out of the senate the day the senate was voting on Iran Revolutionary Guard?
