Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

Our administration's prosecution of the war was been fraught with poor planning and has ignored advice of critical thinkers.
I think there are options to be explored but this administration has taken a "bunker" mentality and cannot get beyond it.


I agree 100%.

I don't agree at all, but then, hind sight is always 20/20... fore sight is a fog, try to remember that.

Really Crunch,

Do you think we needed to go beg to the UN for permission to go in for months beforehand? Meanwhile any WMD's were shipped to syria or pakistan. Good planning there?

How about troop levels, even I am willing to admit we ran short.

How smart to you think it was to have the ol' guest reporter program. All they have done is undermine every effort attempted.

Do you think we have done enough to plug the leaks in Washington? The NY Times is committing sadition every other month. Meanwhile they compromise the lives of our soldiers with every secret they publish. I want hanging meat! Whats being done?

Do you think we should be parading journalists and members of the socialist party through Gitmo? Do you think we should be publishing the thoughts of the adminstration with regards to torture, which works every time it is tried. Do you think pandering to the Cindy Sheehans of the world with regards to our interogation techniques during WAR rates high?

Why isn't John Bolton permanently installed in his post at the UN yet. Chucky Shumer be damned.

We should have had enough of Saddam to fit in a petrie dish for DNA identification. I would have dropped a granade down his royal spider hole and dug him out with a spatula. OOOPS!

I wouldn't have let my troops swing in the breeze with trumped up charges from some luney journalist. I would be supporting them, or at the very least protecting their dignity by making all investigations top secret.

I would have sent in a couple hundred Cat D9's started on the North end of Bagdad, and head south. Everyone goes through a checkpoint and identified. Terrorists got to Gitmo.

I would not be providing prayer mats and korans to people who use them for toilet paper, then whine to liberal press members how they are being abused.

All these are on GW's watch.

HOT DANG!!! Someone else said it for me! I usually don't bring that up, because almost nobody believes it. But then, I have friends that were in the intel circles at the time, and I've heard(and seen) evidence that supports such a thing.

Speedwagon, Should not the Greatest Country in World based on Freedom of the people KNOW before they invade a sovereign nation, overthrow its government, destroy its infrastructure, take over its economy and arrest its leader.

Sorry but this BS just does not fly. When this administration lead America into the war it was stupid, evil and self serving and without any forsight for this country, Iraq or stablity in the Middle East.

Don't like what I say then remember what his Dad did. We have accomplished our goals and pulling out of Iraq. To overthrow Saddam would only create instability in the Region. Just because the Dad is smart does not mean the child can not be stupid.

W proves it every time he opens his mouth. Yep and so did Kerry, probably eliminating himself as future national candidate.

Boom,

Since you have all the answers, explain this; what could Kerry possibly hope to gain by intentionally calling the troups stupid?

Truth is that his intention was not to call the troops stupid, Even Kerry isn`t that dumb,and what he said, he intended to say and he ment every word of it because that`s his mind set still thinking about Vietnam and the draft back then. He just didn`t put two and two together and figured that it would be brought out like it was. Now we know that he isn`t smart enough to put two and two together.

He didn`t meen to call the troops stupid, but he did it in his infinite wisdom anyway inspite of himself.

Did I say that right?

Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

I'm still not buying that he meant what he said as it was stated.

I still have not heard what he or the democrats had to gain by calling soldiers stupid.

Kerry was also a soldier, and I don't believe he would intentionally call himself stupid either. It just does not make sense to me.

What does make sense, is that many republican supporters are twisting the meaning of his words in an effort to save their butts. Not that I blame them, I may do the same if my career was on the line too. Tic tic tic tic, the countdown to Tuesday has begun. Much earlier than anticipated for some.

Kerry delivered the ultimate dem party platform to stand on for the coming loss in the election. You were going to lose anyway. But, thanks to Kerry you can all blame Bush. Which is only fitting since the party is still running against him for public office. So long Hoovers!8)

Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

Sorry Pony, did I miss that somewhere?

OJ,

One of us will still be yapping come Tuesday evening. Well, maybe both. If that is the case, you will be telling us how Rush says everything was unfare. MJF lied and that is how the dems won. MJF......W......two of a kind. If MJF is a liar, that is. I don't think he is. Rather, Rush is a cowardly loud mouth that likes to point and place himself above all others, and screams foul when his skeletons are turned loose.

Hello Eureka? They suck too. We are speaking about vacuums...right?

Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

Nobody can figure out where Kerry could have arrived at this thought? Really?? Just check his history going back to the Vietnam war. Check who he claimed was "victimized" to greater extent within the populace. Then find out how those folks were put in that position in the first place. This is nothing more than a verbalization of the cum by ya crowd of the 60's anti war victimization rational. Just updated. The problem is Kerry isn't smart enough to see the difference. He never got beyond his "formal" education outlining who are the chosen ones.

If you can't see how he would say this you don't have an eye for history or the "intellectual elite". But if this tactic doesn't work we can start calling our troops mass murderers, chop off hands and heads, and of course the classic Ghengis Khan analogy.

Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

Pony,

Ahhhh, I get it. I'm a bit slow today. I'm coming down from all that halloween candy sugar buzz. Looks like OJ smeared his all over his face.d:) Just kidding OJ.

I think we may have agreed once or twice before...maybe?d:)

Pointer, you evidently know more about Kerry and his history than I, and that is the truth, no sarcasm. Maybe he lacks intelligence....but from what I know about people, I just find it hard to believe someone could say something with that sort of intent and not understand the critical time in which it was said and the ramifications of it. That is on top of the demeaning message it would send to our troups.

If he meant it, he gets everything he deserves and then some. Kick him out of congress if those are his true thoughts. I would have no issue with that. I hope no other candidates are hurt by his ignorance and/or stupidity.

I wish no harm to republicans due to W and his mishandling of everything. That is, unless they have supported him and continue to do so. Sometimes intelligence and thought has to overrule partisanship.

Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

Well, I think the Republicans and Democrats are together on this one...

The Republicans raised He11 and the Democrats told Kerry to apologize, shut up, and go home... It's called bi-partisanship. 8)

Re: Sen. Kerry's recent blunder...

Those are great editorial cartoons!

I heard someone on the radio tonight... can't recall his name though... he said he believes Kerry didn't misspeak at all, he made a Freudian slip. And those Freudian slips sure can be painful sometimes. :)
