On CNN this morning, Texas Governor Rick Perry criticized President Obama for his administration’s “over the top rhetoric” criticizing 4 U.S. Marines after a video surfaced of them urinating on dead terrorists.

“Well, obviously, 18, 19-year-old kids make stupid mistakes all too often, and that’s what’s occurred here.” Perry said, reminding viewers that General Patton did “basically the same thing” at the Rhein river and that Churchhill did the same thing on the Siegfried Line.
