Ballantine said he received an e-mail from Sayre, who said he was in the photograph. Sayre wrote that the photo was meant for family and friends and was surprised by the attention it has gotten, Ballantine said.

Ballantine also pointed out that Sayre has a bachelor’s degree.

And I'm willing to bet a better undergrad GPA than John French Kerry.

Post 'n' Ping!

Can we get a link to the photo so that it can make the grand rounds? Or did I miss the photo while I was in the hospital. (It seems the joke and the belated apology both occured while I was confined to same, said...)

If I did miss, can someone direct me so that I may forward.

I sure hope these soldiers don't get in trouble.

Technically, I suppose they shouldn't be making political statements while in uniform. If so, I hope they get cut a little slack.

Thank you for your great work and especially the coverage of the picture of the soldiers mocking "Jon Carry."

My daughter is on the far right in the picture. We spoke to her last night and again this morning. They are quite astounded at the coverage. They were furious at Kerry's remarks and wanted to do something. I guess they did.

Yours truly,

David Ward

I printed out copies of the photo and handed them out everywhere I went today.

A few people, who I knew didn't do computers, hadn't seen it yet.

I don't see how these troops can get in trouble for emailing a joke photo to their families in Iraq. Their assigned military lawyer could easily argue that it was a private joke that slipped out into public view without their intending it.

Sure, the Democrats could put them through the wringer. But . . . should they want to? This story has enough legs already. Would the congressional Democrats really want to be seen persecuting a group of American soldiers because they took exception to Kerry's demeaning insult?

Bring it on! I can't imagine anything more stupid and destructive to the Democrats than to do something like that. What, Schumer and Kennedy getting up and demanding that the troops in Iraq should be punished for telling the truth about Kerry? I don't think so.

What the US Army recruiting poster under "President" Kerry would look like:

Our brave warriors n Irak respond to Jon Carry"


Kerry is no different re his hatred of a strong America and our warriors than 99.9% of the rats in congress. Every rat running for election should have to face a copy of this banner everytime they show their treasonous faces. Pelosi, Murtha, Clintoon, Boxer, Kennedy, Durbin, Levin, Rangle, Reid and other rats in congress hate our military and a strong America. Just look at their voting records the past two years as President Bush pointed out this week.

Kerry is shown leading his fellow hate America and our military Rats to their final destination in American Politics:

Vote against all traitors this election day. Support our troops and their CIC, President Bush.

"Kerry later said it was a bad joke and apologized to anyone he offended."

Oh really? If that's the case can you tell me what the joke was, Kari dear?
