"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"?

— John Murtha

I believe the gentleman is suffering from some type of dementia. Hero or no, he is very wrong and should know better. You would also think the media would know better, but anytime they can get someone that agrees with them they're all over it to death. We still get to hear from Cindy from time to time as well.
