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.

“What’s really disturbing to me is this kind of over the top rhetoric from this administration and their disdain for the military, it appears.” Perry said, “Whether its the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense.
“These kids made a mistake. There’s not any doubt about it, they shouldn’t have done it it. It’s bad.” Perry said, arguing that people upload all types of videos online. “But to call it a criminal act, I think, is over the top.”
