John Kerry Blames Rush Limbaugh for Iraq Blooper

John Kerry Blames Rush Limbaugh for Iraq Blooper

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry blamed top conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh Friday morning for the uproar over his claim that U.S. troops were terrorizing Iraqi women and children.

"You know, the only people who are trying to make anything out of that, to be honest with you, are Rush Limbaugh and a few people on the right," Kerry told radio host Don Imus.

On Sunday Kerry told CBS's "Face the Nation" that there was "no reason ... that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the - of - the historical customs, religious customs - Iraqis should be doing that."

Asked if he meant to say that American soldiers were guilty of terrorism, Kerry claimed: "Obviously not."

What he meant to say, he insisted, was: "After three years, Iraqis ought to be capable of searching a home ... It's inexplicable that when the biggest killers in Iraq are suicide bombers and IEDs, improvised explosive devices, that we're still on the front lines going into homes and going out in the dead of night. And it scares people."

The one-time top Democrat said that he'd like to see U.S. troops redeployed "in a way that accomplishes the goal but does it without needlessly putting troops at risk and incurring greater difficulties in feeding the insurgency."

Citing a year-old Washington Post report that claimed Iraqis resented home searches by U.S. troops, Kerry said his "terrorizing" comment was meant to be constructive.

"That resentment hurts our soldiers," he told Imus. "I'm trying to help our soldiers. We all are."

Yup, He only got the nod due to his so called "service"

Truth is he volunteered for swifty duty because the swift boats saw no action when he volunteered and he saw a parallel to his wet dream JFK (the real one) After the swift boat mission was changed to encompass active patrols up the rivers Kerry balked and did all her could to get out of his tour.

Kerry has accomplished exactly bupkis as a legislator.
He has however made a career of spreading malaise.

Its frightening to think how many votes the yahoo received

There is no more effective way to undermine an army than to "make soldiers believe they are victims" Kerry beats that drum daily

I cc: ed Ted Kennedy on a derisive email I sent my state legislator after she made some comments about Mitt and his sons effecting the rescue of a distressed boater in New Hampshire. The obvious stuff about Democrats in Massachusetts being circumspect about anything involving rescues on the water.

Anyway, either she or the swimmer's people sent my email address to J. Freaking Kerry, cause I got on his email list. I was one of the first to know he was running for president. I found the very notion laughable, he only wins in Massachusetts by default. He's a truly horrible candidate; stiff, pompous, self-infatuated. How that guy could get elected dog-catcher is one of life's mysteries.

self-infatuated.

There it is...how did the country miss it?

Kerry like Bin Laden is a little rich boy searching for a purpose.

Sadly bin laden has charisma

Can you believe that he was actually in the running for being the leader of this country.

Yep, and he's going to do it again. The scary part is that so many people actually voted for him. The man's definitely got a bunch of screws loose.

<< The one-time ["Democrat" presidential candidate] said that he'd like to see American Troops "redeployed" [Traitor Lingo for "withdrawn"] ... in a way that accomplishes the goal but does it without "needlessly" putting troops "at risk" and incurring "greater difficulties" in "feeding terrorism." >>

Simple: [For a Kerry - And God forbid soldiers at war should ever be "at risk"]

"Award" [Traitor Lingo for "issue"] every one of them three gratuitous Purple Hearts and immediately stick every one on United, one-way to Paris.

And to blown to pieces talks with the enemy.

Yes. We DO know that. That's why Rush always says he is doing the job the mainstream media USED to do.

Please be specific, Mr. Kerry. When you say "our" soldiers, exactly which soldiers do you consider to be yours?

And to think this guy was actually a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. What an insult to history.

I disagree. What he said was, US troops were terrorizing women and children, and that there's nothing wrong with doing that, so long as Iraqi troops are doing it.
