Stupid soldiers? 11/1/06
Senator Kerry your Freudian slip is showing. Your recent remarks, which you characterize as a botched joke, are a fine example of why we have professional comedians such as Jay Leno. “Don’t try this at home kids, I am a professional”. An apology with an explanation of what you now say you had intended might have staunched the tsunami of well-deserved vitriol headed in your direction, but your northeast liberal arrogance once more got the better of you. When this happens again, and surely it will, here is some advice, put down the shovel and step away from the hole. It is all the more easy for us to believe you words than your explanation because of things said in the past by yourself and others in your party who have called our military baby killers, terrorists, rapists and more. Referring to our troops in Iraq as “invaders” and “occupiers” rather than liberators is semantics, but given the choice democrats like to use disparaging terms regarding our military. Of course we are occupying Iraq, in the process of liberating Iraq; get a grip. We occupied Europe in 1944 but in a different sense to Germany’s occupation in 1939, this is not difficult to understand, except of course if you don’t want to understand it. There’s none so blind as those who will not see.
Your refusal to apologize, instead making overblown protestations blaming anyone but yourself is typical. Me thinks thou dost protest too much. Strangely though your lame explanation of the “joke” is in fact plausible enough, that “if you don’t get an education then you (that is the president) get us (the U.S.) stuck in Iraq” but faced with your past anti military comments what am I to think? There’s many a true word spoken in jest.
