"Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who've given their lives in this," White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "This is an absolute insult."

Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran and President Bush's 2004 rival, fired back.

He said he had been criticizing Bush, not the "heroes serving in Iraq," and said the president and his administration are the ones who owe U.S. troops an apology because they "misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it."

I have the images saved locally but you can find the original quote on Google's cache in the link above. Even the MSM heard Kerry right the first time, but then the koolaid was passed out and they expunged the original (correct) interpretation.

The fifth paragraph of the updated story reads:

Then he said: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." There were a few polite titters from the audience.

CTV is a TV news outlet, the stories the put on the website are often updated as events progress. Think of them as works in progress for the newscast.

Thanks.
Was starting to think I was the only one who went to the actual CTV story, read & then re-read it a couple of times, and still couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about.

I spit on Kerry's shadow!

And I love it when Canada's liberals get to see the trashing of one of their kind, for it means THEY are next.
