"John Boehner ought to be ashamed. He's blaming our troops for failures in Iraq. If he wants to cast blame, he can start by looking in the mirror because he and his Congressional Republican colleagues have rubberstamped the Bush Administration's failed policy for nearly four years. Our troops in Iraq have performed bravely. It's political leaders like Congressman Boehner and Donald Rumsfeld, who have failed. I expect President Bush and Congressional Republicans, who demanded John Kerry apologize, hold their own party's majority leader to a much higher standard. There's no spinning his disparaging comments. He made them. He needs to apologize."

House Majority Leader John Boehner: Wolf, I understand that, but let's not blame what's happening in Iraq on Rumsfeld.
Wolf Blitzer: But he's in charge of the military.
House Majority Leader John Boehner: But the fact is the generals on the ground are in charge and he works closely with them and the president.
I think this is a bigger story than the Kerry one that the supposed liberal media is currently running with.
The Republicans again show their true colors and the fact they don't give a damn about the troops.
90% of them have never served and their kids or close relatives probably will never serve either.
Anytime I see a Republican spewing about how they support the troops, I just remember statements like this and just laugh to myself about how big of frauds they are.
The Republican majority, a total failure and complete, utterly frauds.
