Another Democrat "War Hero" Turns Out To Be Anything But

Representative Murtha charges Marines with an horrendous war crime in Haditha, Iraq, but, as a well-known friend of the grunts, tries to blame it on their leadership for creating too much stress for them. Isn't this sort of like the Twinkie Defense?

Murtha is supposed to have moral authority to criticize the war because he served in Vietnam and spent 30 years in the reserve, but his statements seem more and more to resemble that other great war hero, John Kerry.
