“… If anyone thinks that a veteran, someone like me who’s been fighting my entire career to provide for veterans to fight for their benefits, to help honor what their service is, if anybody thinks that a veteran would somehow criticize more than 140,000 troops fighting in Iraq and not the president and his people who put them there, they’re crazy. It’s just wrong….”
Does he really think that none of us can remember back to 1971? Or how about a year or two ago, when he accused American troops of terrorizing Iraqis?
If Kerry isn't the dumbest jerk in Senate, it's only because Chuck Schumer is a member as well. :)
I was actually a bit disappointed in Bush's rejoinder. I would have made a recruiting pitch, in which I urged intelligent people to join the military. Making the point that a college education helps a soldier, and the further point that the military will help a soldier obtain a college education (that is still true, isn't it?).I'm not even sure I'd have mentioned Kerry by name. Just set up the things Kerry has said over the years, and effortlessly knock them down for the straw men Kerry's claims are.
