Nicely done, sir, and thanks for serving.

Check out this SFGate headline. The MSM is such a joke....

[darkwing104]

The headline is misleading. It was just a photo op with Massachusetts National Guard solders. Nothing to get excited about. It was just a photo-op and sound bites for his buddies in the liberal press.

More likely jeered.........

Gotta parse it right:

When Kerry arrived in Baghdad, he was a little depressed, thinking about his failed presidential ambitions. Then, he made a speech which, in his opinion, was a real barn-burner that really stuck it to that poopy-head George Bush. This made Kerry feel better, even cheerful. When a reporter asked him how he had enjoyed trip, Kerry said "I was cheered in Baghdad."

'Kerry cheered'

But maybe no one else did.

Kerry BARF ping!

[Soul Seeker]

Thank you.

Amazing. Someone actually believed they could convince people Kerry could generate passionate cheers among the majority of the military, which is what they hoped to accomplish.

"Baghdad -- Sen. John Kerry, whose seemingly shifting positions on the U.S. war in Iraq plagued him throughout his presidential campaign, came to this war- torn capital Wednesday to see for himself whether the country was moving toward stability or deeper into chaos."

WHO does he think he is???? Hasn't anyone told him he was NOT elected President and nothing he says will be believed whether good or bad? Buffoon alert!

[cake_crumb]

If they love him so much, why didn't they vote for him?

[beandog]

Maybe it was the terrorists in Baghdad that cheered him.

[rockabyebaby]

If I haven't already told you,,,, thank you for your service!

Most sections ask for volunteers first. When nobody does, some hold drawings. The losers have to go.

[jveritas]

Less than 30% of soldiers in Iraq have voted for him. I am sure they can fill a room with these few soldiers that supported him. This not a big deal as the San Francisco newspaper is trying to make it.

[rockabyebaby]

Thanks for your service.

Same thing when Klinton came to the UK when I was stationed there back in 1993. They couldn't get any volunteers so they had to order people to the detail!!!

[talleyman]

Kerry...was greeted warmly by U.S. soldiers in Baghdad.

They fired up the flamethrowers?

[subterfuge]

Just checking in to say I can't read anything that has JFingKerry in it.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I can imagine the soldiers cheering Kerry. Right after he just left.

[MikefromOhio]

well thank you....

being a contractor it was a different experience. I met a lot of good people, I discovered FR, and I was able to get totally out of debt for the first time since I have been married....
