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."

"For once I agree with Kerry, Bremer should not have disbanded the Iraqi army." Didn't Bremer come after this decision?

Who are your Battalion FAC's?
How about Brigade ALO?
Division ALO?
I was a Brigade ALO during Gulf War I and got my 101st right shoulder flash during that conflict. Wore it on my flight suit and desert BDU's. Not regulation when not assigned FAC/ALO duty, but I DIDN'T CARE. I earned it and was proud of it. (Did turn some Army heads, however, when they noticed an Air Force guy with a 101st patch on his BDU's. You could hear them thinking; "What the. . .what's that guy wearing that patch for. . .he's Air Force."
Cheers, be safe and have fun!

McPeak was a sorry excuse and you will not, I repeat, NOT find any credible Air Force guy supporting him. He was/is a toad, an absolute tyrant, pip-squeek, egomaniac, arrogant and he looked like he was dying of AIDS. Check out
http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=6434 and then compare that picture with the magic of Hollywood and they appear to be two separate people. When I calm down I'll tell you what I really think of him . . .

You too, buddy. . .and yes, there is life "out there."
To: Carl/NewsMax
I don't get the impression that Kerry is stumping for 2008, rather he seems to be stumping to take over the power role that Ted Kennedy fills as one-time Presidential Candidate/Senior Democrat. Ted is getting pretty old and one of his many acoltyes will take over eventually.

"Has he submitted for a Purple Heart yet for jet lag?" Daus, you know as well as I do that he isn't eligible because the jet lag was self-inflicted ;o)

"... I'm here to make judgments..." You lost a**hole! You don't get to make judgements about anything. All you can do is be a traitorous loser, and whine about it!

He hasn't even changed his droning lecture style speeches, he sounds just the same as before the election. Which figures because only a few hours after his defeat he declared his candidacy in 4 years. What in the world is this guy thinking?
