I am amazed at how well what seems to have been a clear jab at Bush has been actually sold to many as an insult to the American Forces.
And people wonder why sometimes some people think americans are stupid. :lol:

You are joking,right? I always thought that a clear jab should at least mention the intended target. Then again my gramma was American,maybe I am stoopid two.

I can only guess you didn't see Kerry's delivery of the words. He was talking to the military - even if he had intended his remark as a slur against the Bush Administration - what came out of his mouth was
a remark which could have only applied to the young men and women who serve. If they didn't study hard at the college where he was speaking, they would become failures and get sent to Iraq - "stuck in Iraq" as he put it.
Doesn't make any sense because the military are a volunteer group - there is no draft and those who serve all make their choices. The college tuition is paid by the military for their service. It sounds like a fair trade off - if they make it through.
That is what the whole uproar is about. He was insulting the kids in the college where he was speaking and the military over in Iraq.
Before you comment on the intellect of the people in the U.S. perhaps you should understand what they are upset about. We expect Kerry to insult Bush - that is his job and what his intention is at every speech he is making - to stir up trouble for the opposite party.
I think the country does pretty well for a bunch of dumb crackers ...don't you?
Back to the drawing board CK - you missed the point of this one entirely.

Bush laughed at the military when he joked about not being able to find WMD. But he was never forced to apologize or was held accountable the way Kerry rightly was.
That's the Republican double standard for you!

really?
This seems to be another example of sensationalism. Much like how America got so absorbed in Clinton's affection for fellatio.
That was a good switch. Typical ,you lose your argument about apples so let's talk oranges.
not at all wally,
the american public is getting played by bushco (the republicans), just like they were played by the republicans over Clinton.
It goes to demonstrate the nature of the beast.
Kerry may have botched the delivery of the joke, but Bush botched the war, (and the economy). But that is neither here nor there, so long as the masses are entertained. The one thing bushco does well is play the audience, and that is what he has done again.
(There is another layer of dark humour to the entire episode as well.)

It doesn't surprise that some politicians will take advantage of this slip. In fact they should. The Reps should go for the jugular, like any politicians would. The Reps know voter intelligence levels are somewhere below a snakes ass. Of course it makes sense for Bush to get up pretend the incident was something other than what it was. He's good at that. It works. Some bottom feeders will take the bait and hang a chad or two. What surprises me are the people in this forum who actually believe this was an attempt to mock the vets and not Bush. Gives us a break. The turnip trucks don't stop here.
O.K. let's pretend it was a joke and not a freudian slip. Is this guy such a moron that he cannot read the words in front of him? Or did he attempt to ad-lib and show his true intelligence? Either way,he loses...and the troops are insulted.
Well he has shown in the past that infact he is a moron and cannot adlib. I don't know why the Democrats would even let him near a camera. He has about as much credibility as an evolutionist in an evangelical church. He should be sent to an island for dysfunctional politicians.
Cindy what's her name song is running around in my head: True Colors shining trough, true colors??????????????? but then again Merican Politics isn't my strong suit, I'm having enough trouble with the Libs versus Cons in Canada.
One is a fact,one is an opinion.I tend to choose facts over opinion.Please explain the other layer,we can always use a laugh.
Both Kerry and Bush have made enough idiotic comments over the years that makes this irrelevant.
ITN,ITN,being a fool forever does not excuse being a fool.Just as being a serial killer does not make it irrelevant that you are a murderer.
