Kerry Trashes Bush in Baghdad

Visiting with U.S. troops in Baghdad on Thursday, failed presidential candidate John Kerry trashed Commander-in-chief George Bush for making "horrendous judgments" and "unbelievable blunders" that have undermined the war effort.

In a series of demoralizing comments first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, the defeated Democrat griped, "What is sad about what's happening here now is that so much of it is a process of catching up from the enormous miscalculations and wrong judgments made in the beginning."

Kerry said that because of the Bush administration's mistakes, "the job has been made enormously harder."

Among the errors cited by the disgruntled Democrat: the decision by former U.S. occupation leader Paul Bremer's to disband the Iraqi army and purge the government of former members of Hussein's Baath Party.

Both moves were have fueled the Sunni insurgency, he claimed, lamenting, "Mistakes have been made."

Then, perhaps sensing he'd gone too far, the 2008 White House hopeful cut short the Bush-bashing, saying, "Now, it's a different time and different set of judgments that have to be made. I'm here to make judgments about what moves are available to us."

JF'n should probably be cautious. No doubt some of these troops have weapons and want to work for Hitlery's run.

I was thinking this might be satire, but he really said this stuff?

Though I'll agree that the decision by former U.S. occupation leader Paul Bremer's to disband the Iraqi army and purge the government of former members of Hussein's Baath Party was the wrong one, considering just like in the Soviet Union 20% were party members and only 5% wanted to be, the rest had to be to get their jobs. Still he is a fool for picking Iraq and the military to be his sounding board instead of doing this within the US or Congress.

Well, the democreep party senators have really splashed diarrhea all over all that is good and great about America and her Armed Forces this week.

I'm sure they are happily reading on their crappers the NYT's, LAT's, and WASH POST just how wonderful the editors think they are for bashing Bush, demonizing Gonzales, demoralizing our brave troops and hoping for people running amuck in the streets demanding a re-election, just like the good old days of Nazi Germany. It's sad though, that while these senators void away, their political party is just a flush away from the deep slimey nether regions of the sewer.

TheDemonRATS think they can stop that train to Democracy. They think they can lay down on the tracks and stop this victory of freedom for the Iraqi people. In earlier times the train mowed them down.

A page is about to be written about the story of freedom for humankind. The DemonRATs have confused socialism with justice. With socialism there is no justice and freedom without justice is no freedom.

""Now, it's a different time and different set of judgments that have to be made. I'm here to make judgments about what moves are available to us."

....and those judgements , John? Are you keeping them to yourself? Or are you waiting for a call from Hindsight, Inc.?

Kwerry in Bagdad?? Where's zarqawi when you really need him?

Maybe politicians need to take an oath like physicians take in regard to doing no harm.

I think they actually do take an oath along those lines, to protect and defend the Constitution. We need to prosecute.

[BykrBayb]

Could you forward that to kerry? I don't think he's seen it.

[ladyinred]

My God, this man needs to be tried for sedition at least! Traitor would be more like it, but I will settle for sedition!

[Stoat]

LMAO

I'm afraid that I won't be able to assist with your request for at least a couple of reasons:

1. I don't make a habit of associating with treasonous,traitorous,anti-American,serial-lying,cowardly gigolos like John Kerry

2. I don't have his email address

3. I would be concerned that even if I did have his email address, if I were to forward somthing like this article to him that he would have the Secret Service as well as a few choice Democrat Union thugs come to give me a 'visit'.

4. He would have the IRS audit me

So, even though I will generally bend over backwards in order to accommodate any lady's request, in this case I regret that I will need to decline :-)

1) Disbanding the Iraqi Army. We should have made them responsible for security. They had 3 corps of soldiers available.

While you may know what you are talking about, I choose to believe that those in the Pentagon knew a little more than we did about what was the right thing to do over there. Hopefully they have intelligence that we don't.

I don't like it when Kerry speaks against our government to the troops while we are at war, and I won't do it myself (without absolute proof they are willfully wrong). Do they get everything right? Of course not, how could they know everything that may and may not happen?

[BykrBayb]

Oh shucky darns! Well, couldn't hurt to ask.

[halfright]

Note to terrorist in Iraq...BOLO for big tall ugly white guy with a BIG MOUTH. BEHEAD on sight.

75 Virgins await the towel head that takes this guy out.......

Saddam was still out there, only a moron would have done what Kerry said he would have done.

I agree Mcpeat was was not an Airmans Airman, The last one was Gen Ronald R Folgelman. He was the last Airmans Airman..... He stood by you.. enlisted or officer. He was a tremendous leader. He should be the Secretary of Defense, right now.

[Gunrunner2]

I will tell him so. . .(I'm not kidding).
