John Kerry Blames Rush Limbaugh for Iraq Blooper
Failed presidential candidate John Kerry blamed top conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh Friday morning for the uproar over his claim that U.S. troops were terrorizing Iraqi women and children.
"You know, the only people who are trying to make anything out of that, to be honest with you, are Rush Limbaugh and a few people on the right," Kerry told radio host Don Imus.
On Sunday Kerry told CBS's "Face the Nation" that there was "no reason ... that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the - of - the historical customs, religious customs - Iraqis should be doing that."
Asked if he meant to say that American soldiers were guilty of terrorism, Kerry claimed: "Obviously not."
What he meant to say, he insisted, was: "After three years, Iraqis ought to be capable of searching a home ... It's inexplicable that when the biggest killers in Iraq are suicide bombers and IEDs, improvised explosive devices, that we're still on the front lines going into homes and going out in the dead of night. And it scares people."
The one-time top Democrat said that he'd like to see U.S. troops redeployed "in a way that accomplishes the goal but does it without needlessly putting troops at risk and incurring greater difficulties in feeding the insurgency."
Citing a year-old Washington Post report that claimed Iraqis resented home searches by U.S. troops, Kerry said his "terrorizing" comment was meant to be constructive.
"That resentment hurts our soldiers," he told Imus. "I'm trying to help our soldiers. We all are."

The tide has turned. The loser has lost again.
It sucks to be Kerry. It sucks to ba a loser.
oooooh! That's cold man! But so very true.
When he returned from France, he was confronted with his actions by the navy. Now, the U.S. Constitution specifies that to prove treason, either the testimony of at least two eyewitnesses is required or else a confession in open court. The navy knew that they could not prove it in court, but they knew he did it. So they booted him out with an Undesirable Discharge. Along with the discharge they may have stripped him of all his medals.
That explains why he got TWO upgrades to his discharge and why his medals were re-issued once the discharge was upgraded to honorable.
It should be noted that he did not get a bad conduct discharge or a dishonorable discharge as these are imposed only by sentence of a special or general court-martial and the record of such a thing is extremely difficult to cover up.
Not only is Hanoi John a TRAITOR , he is also a blithering idiot.
I hope I live to see him driven from the Senate to the nearest military prison.
Have you seen these records?
I've been a bitch for the last two days ; )
It'd make a damn good billboard, wouldn't it?!
bump
This is the democrat party's worst nightmare.
Information being diseminated without their control.
If it were up to the CBS/CNN/ABC/NBC clones, this would never go beyond encouraging the faithful.
Not all of us in Mass. Believe me it makes me sick.
Great photoshop! And sadly too true.
BTW, the soldier's toting what looks like my favorite fighting shotgun - a Benelli M1 Super 90.
They should be tried and then hung by the neck until they are dead, dead, dead.
At the hangings, I want the single malt and cigar concession. This is my dream.
Well, I'm gald that he cleared that up. I thought that he meant to say that Americans shouldn't terrorized Iraqis; Iraqis should terrorist Iraqis.
The sound of a shell being quietly chambered in the Mossberg in the dark might well cause palpitations in whoever entered the house at 2 AM without politely knocking at the door and asking permission.
But John, that's not what you said? You said that American soldiers are terrorizing women and kids in the dead of night? I heard you say that John? That's what was broadcast around the world? If your brain can't operate fast enough to control the words that pass through your lips, you John, ought to keep your mouth shut?????
How fortunate for us that you lost the 2004 election......
But how can we prove it?
"Razed villages"
"Hooked up wires to genitals and turned up the power"
"Shot Livestock"
"Cut off Arms, Legs, heads"
"And generally ravaged the countryside, in a fashion like Gengis Khan"
John Kerry is a creature of Habit.
When they throw the dirt in his face.
Can't do it until he releases his full military records. But that would kill any chance he may have ever had for a presidency. So until he delivers a signed SF-180 to the Records Center, we cannot PROVE it. But if I had a good discharge and the matter was brought up, I would not hesitate to release the records.
