Someone should ask Kerry what if President Bush said the first he heard about it is when he read it in the paper. Then tell him of the many times BubbaBill said that.

Right. He will be another Jimmy Carter, scheduling the tennis court for the WH.

"Today, I have a message for the men and women of our armed forces..."

Is that message "I voted for you to go into harm's way...wait, just for the threat of you to go into harm's way...I voted for $87 billion to help you and Iraq...no, I didn't...I respect your Commander in Chief...actually, I hate his guts...I look forward to your vote...well, not if it's for Bush, and I'll have your vote thrown out if you're overseas serving...I appreciate your opinion...let me finish...LET ME...LET ME F***ING FINISH! NO, YOU'RE WRONG!!!"

All right, enough of that. Here is my message to the honorable men and women of the armed forces:

Each of you are valuable. Not one of your lives, nor any of your deaths, are forgotten by me. I may not know your name, but I will know your cause: United States Military.

I will not condemn 150,000 over the misdoings of a few. I will not even condemn the seven...just the wrong that they do. Many of our citizens know full well the sacrifice that you make. I pray that you get to hear from more of them.

If, by the permissive will of God (which, if not for the fact that God does allow things with which we disagree, I would call the most vile imagination of all time), Mr. Kerry is elected as your Commander in Chief, I trust that you will continue to serve your country--if not for him, then for the country.

My fervent hope is that you will vote for the current CIC who deeply cares about you, and prays daily for you, and seeks the Almighty on your behalf, the Honorable George W. Bush. Please make sure that your vote counts. Insist on it.

That is my message to the Armed Forces. "What we do now, echoes into eternity. Strength and honor!"

Semper Fi, Ever Onward, and God bless.

I'd be happy to smack him, but I'm not trying to explain anything to someone who is as dull as dirt.

Kerry claimed to be unaware of the gay marriage situation in SF. He IS the last to know.

As president, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command,

As a Senator, it would appear he only found out a few days ago what the press reported in January!

Last to know what? That he served in Vietnam?

"As president, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command," Kerry said. "I will demand accountability for those who serve and I will take responsibility for their actions. And I will do everything that I can in my power to repair the damage that this has caused to America to our standing in the world and to the ideals for which we stand."

...I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command," Kerry said. "I will demand accountability for those who serve and I will take responsibility for their actions.... even though I never took any responsibility for my actions during and after returning from Vietnam, demonstrating aginst the war and causing more harm to the troops still fighting the war.

KERRY DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING TOLD ANYTHING. HE'S NOT GOING TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HE MIGHT WANT TO TRY FRANCE.

This guy is a laugh, He delivered most of his comments about how he would handle the prisoner abuse in front of a bunch of high school students in Colton, Ca. All the kids just sat there and stared, they had no clue what he was talking about. It was thought that he was there in relation to education. I have seen schools in Iraq that were in better shape then this one, I just don't get this guy.

We'll then, Senator, so you won't be the last to know...

Your lifelong persuit of the presidency is about to end, in abject failure, with you as a laughing stock of the nation, and the world.

There now, you've been told. buh bye.

Even if he was the first to know, he'd still be the last to form a definite opinion about it.

What kind of nonsense is this? From a purely practical standpoint, the highest authority is always the "last to know". That's the effect of a chain of command. Would Kerry give every private in the field the hotline number to report abuses to the Oval Office? This guy is an idiot.

He wouldn't be the last to know. In other words, he'd let it keep happening so that OTHERS would find out it was going on later.

My, he's dim.

John flip-flop Kerry "I wouldn't be the last to know...unless I did and then I would."
