I didn't hear Cheney call him a coward. The one congresswoman that did was speaking for a marine, which was a terrible thing to do. Speak for your self or have the Marine stand there and make his comment but to call a hero a coward and say "well they're not my words" is shameful. As for the other Republicans I think they just repeated what Murtha said last year. Murtha said he's now changed his mind. They haven't. Sounds fair to me.
It did seem Murtha's main reason for changing his mind is because the insurgent attacks are growing. He blames that on Abu Ghraib saying if we can't win the hearts of the people we've lost the war. Abu Ghraib was played to the max by the left leaning press and the anti-war movement. Seems like the press is helping us lose. I'm not saying ignore what happened but it was a minor story spun into a major abuse story.
