John Murtha was on Meet The Press, and had this to say about Karl Rove and "staying the course."
"He's in New Hampshire. He's making a political speech. He’s sitting in his air-conditioned office on his big, fat backside, saying "stay the course." That’s not a plan…
We've got to change direction, that's what we have to do. You can't sit there in the air-conditioned office and tell these troops there carrying seventy pounds on their backs, inside these armored vessels, and hit with IED's every day, seeing their friends blown up, their buddies blown up, and he says stay the course? Yeah, it's easy to say that from Washington, DC."
Crooks and Liars has the video.
