I'm just wondering how many of those troops were thinking "and we nearly got this as Commander in Chief, lucky escape".

[sd-joe]

What a doofus.

[Peach]

Still the same gigolo. What an elitist snob.

[RexBeach]

It's a mite late for this trip, ain't it?

[evolved_rage]

Did Kerry bring combat fatigues and his trusty 8mm camera???

[DTogo]

This small group of soldiers are probably the only ones he could find who voted for him.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sorry, John. Your 15 minutes are up.

[truthseeker2]

He's probably over there telling them about how he was in Vietnam.

[Dallas59]

What an embarrassment.

[Holicheese]

" So you say that we are short of left handed screw drivers and buckets of steam? I will get right in that when I get back to the senate!"

Gosh, only 300 or so days left on Kerry's Ohio hunting license. I would have thought he would be here doing his thing. After all, he LOVES hunting and Ohio.

Whenever I see Dubya visiting troops, there is always smiles all around - BIG smiles.

Quite a contrast when sKerry (and other dems) visit.

[Howlin]

Nobody seems to be smiling.

As for this:

discusses the state of the troops morale

why am I getting the feeling that we just might hear a speech from the floor of the Senate from Senator Kerry (the man who doesn't care enough to be there today to defend the votes he may have gotten in Ohio) about Iraq, just like the speech he made about Vietnam?

After all, he's with his "band of brothers."

Notice they don't call him SENATOR Kerry. Gee, I'm watching C-SPan, and I didn't see him there at this job. Is he still collecting a salary? Does anyone in his district CARE?

[N. Theknow]

It's a mite late for this trip, ain't it?

He would have been there earlier but he spent Christmas in Cambodia.......again.

[CAluvdubya]

The troops don't seem to be interested at all. Bet they wish they were allowed to bring their guns and ammo with them to the mtg!

[dawn53]

They look bored.
