Visiting with U.S. troops in Baghdad on Thursday, failed presidential candidate John Kerry trashed Commander-in-chief George Bush for making "horrendous judgments" and "unbelievable blunders" that have undermined the war effort.
In a series of demoralizing comments first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, the defeated Democrat griped, "What is sad about what's happening here now is that so much of it is a process of catching up from the enormous miscalculations and wrong judgments made in the beginning."
Kerry said that because of the Bush administration's mistakes, "the job has been made enormously harder."
Among the errors cited by the disgruntled Democrat: the decision by former U.S. occupation leader Paul Bremer's to disband the Iraqi army and purge the government of former members of Hussein's Baath Party.
Both moves were have fueled the Sunni insurgency, he claimed, lamenting, "Mistakes have been made."
Then, perhaps sensing he'd gone too far, the 2008 White House hopeful cut short the Bush-bashing, saying, "Now, it's a different time and different set of judgments that have to be made. I'm here to make judgments about what moves are available to us."
Indeed, aren't they taking up the actual elector vote count today?
AWOL again.
Aiding and abetting the enemy as he always has done.
"You guys are doomed. Your leaders are leading you to your death. I'd desert, if I were you. We're losing the war and in my opinion we ought to. Cutting and running would be my recommendation. When I get back to Congress, I will be recommending that all funding for your supplies be cut drastically. Now, stay safe out there!"
Guffaw!
We'll talk to you once you figure out the difference between "whose" and "who's"!
Carl...find out what the troops reaction to these comments were.
To say what I think is a crime!
In my humble opinion, I don't feel that ANY comment made on this thread against John Kerry could be remotley evil enough to be removed. This man is a scumbag for what he just did!!!!!!!
That is just my opnion, thank you.
About as hard as getting your sorry, scrawny *ss into the Senate every now and then.
Why Clymer? You're NOT the President or Commander in Chief, you have no say in the decisions on how to prosecute the war.
Hey Senator Kerry, F&*K YOU!
This sort of interference with an active war op has got to be illegal. Isn't it? There are a number of laws dealing with treason that I believe are not being enforced. Realpolitik ties the hands of justice.
What's he running for now?
Unbelievable....treason how do we spell your name -- j-o-h-n-k-e-r-r-y

KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?

Money trail behind Kerry's Iran stance
Candidate has financial ties to backers of mullah regime
Posted: October 3, 2004 © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON Sen. John Kerry's call for providing Iran with the nuclear fuel it seeks, even while the regime is believed to be only months away from developing nuclear weapons, is being linked to his campaign contributions from backers of the mullah government in Tehran. [snip]
"You talk about mixed messages," he said. "We're telling other people, 'You can't have nuclear weapons, but we're pursuing a new nuclear weapon that we might even contemplate using.'"
"Not this president," Kerry said. "I'm going to shut that program down, and we're going to make it clear to the world we're serious about containing nuclear proliferation."
