TIPTON, Iowa (AP) -- John Kerry often says he loves that his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, speaks her mind. But that doesn't mean he always agrees with her. And on Tuesday he said he didn't.

Kerry told reporters he disagreed with his wife's assessment that the possible U.S. capture of al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden before the Nov. 2 election could be politically motivated.

He momentarily confused the man blamed for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, saying: "I have said again and again that even if Saddam Hussein is captured or killed in the next instant, it won't change my view about how I can run a more effective war on terror or how I can make America safer."

Correcting himself, Kerry said: "Osama bin Laden should have been the complete focus of our effort in the war on terror." He said his wife was "cautioning people against the possibility" that a capture could be politically motivated, not saying it would be.

Heinz Kerry predicted at a recent fund-raiser that bin Laden will be captured just before the election.

"Heinz Kerry predicted at a recent fund-raiser that bin Laden will be captured just before the election."


Nope, they're not capturing him, they're having a problem defrosting him for the presentation.

I find it amazing that anyone would think that capturing bin Laden would be a bad thing.

I hope that the bitch totally loses it to the point that even the lib networks can't bury it between now and the election.

She has a big mouth.

"Osama bin Laden should have been the complete focus of our effort in the war on terror."

Sure. And Kerry's "war on terror" is now revealed for what it is; a criminal prosecution.

This idiot is so short-sighted he equates the capture of Bin Laden with the end of terroism.

[EggsAckley]

A very big mouth. And a small brain, it seems.

Teresa Heinz Kerry, speaks her mind. But that doesn't mean he (Kerry) always agrees with her. And on Tuesday he said he didn't.

This will put a dent in his wallet.

Kerry is disagreeing with Teresa, is that allowed...She might cut him off, from da money that is...


If we capture UBL before the election or find his body somewhere, Kerry couldn't get elected to Dog Catcher in Boston...

[NilesJo]

As much as I detest Kerry and what he stands for, even I can't hold him responsible for his "loose cannon-ette" wife!

[DSBull]

Sure we can, he's a Rat...

Slightly off-topic. As many know, the Pittsburgh area has suffered a lot of damage from flooding due to rains from hurricane Ivan. Monday, her royal Heinz-ness stopped by a local aid center(one of her many mansions is within 15 minutes of the center). She said, loosely quoted, but still a quote "I wish I could do something, I`m here to get information, to see what`s happening, but what can I do? I can`t do anything now" How about scratching out a check? She only has about a thousand million dollars in the bank! I see you can`t do anything right now because you don`t have access to TAXPAYER money, because we all know her`s is off limits to the "little people" I guess that`s why Kerry`s daughters call her their "step-money"

Come Nov 3, Mrs Heinz invokes the prenup and the manicured nail freak goes looking for a richer bride to be.
