Burma Shave Bump!!!!
I could agree that Kerry would claim that U.S. troops are routinely terrorizing women and children as a matter of "Bush policy". He did it in Vietnam and he could/would do it in Iraq. If he had stopped at that point in his statement I would agree with your position. But he didn't, he went on to say that Iraqi's should be doing it. As stupid as John Kerry is, particularly on issues of national defense, he would not make a claim that terrorizing Iraqi civilians is OK if done by Iraqis. He just wouldn't say it.
So I'm pretty certain my interpretation of what he actually meant to say is accurate: American military personnel, just because they are Americans, frighten Iraqi women and children more than Iraqi soldiers would.
OTOH even with my interpretation of his "intent" the statement is ridiculous. These are people who have been terrorized by Iraqi's for decades and seeing an American at the front door in the middle of the night would be a lot less frightening to them then seeing an Iraqi who just might be there to take their son away to fight and certainly die for Zarqawi.
In any case I still think the issue is a good one because most people will agree with your position. The Dems deserve it and it makes Kerry and the rest of them look stupid. I'm looking for someway to help support putting the White Flag RNC ads on TeeeeVeeee.
John ( The Snobbish French Poodle/"I voted for the bill, before I voted against the bill" :) Kerry, STILL shows, why he's "UNFIT TO COMMAND"...just for starters, feel free to add.
Yes, John ( I'm a Pampered French Poodle and a Big Coward/Traitor...and don't you forget it. :) Kerry, So True...Its very, very easy, to be brave from afar.
and seems to be MAD at Rush only for pointing out the TRUTH.
i wonder if HANOI Jane/John will demand "equal time" to attack Rush for telling the TRUTH about their LIES, HATRED of FREEDOM & SUPPORT of every IDIOT/America-HATING cause in the world.

Thanks for the ping.
Heh... it'll be a pretty good 2006 election campaign and outcome, with Pubbie gains, although my guess is, we'll wind up with more so-called RINOs. The Dhimmicrats have not kept their powder dry at all, and are out. The Plame "scandal" is going to explode in their faces, and only the hell or high water partisans will keep harping on it.
Hillary's burning her bridges with the radical wing of the Dhimmicrats, and while 2008 is a long way away, that has to be a good thing. OTOH, she will pick up some crossover votes from women who will vote for her just because she is a woman. On still another hand, there are women who can't stand her ***, so she'll lose some crossover votes the other way.
"John Kerry Blames Rush Limbaugh for Iraq Blooper".
He forgot the party mantra "It's all Bush's fault"
There are pictures of Kerry meeting with the enemy in France. The exact date is also known.
The only uncertainty is the Navy's reaction.
Looks that way.
Today, Sunday December 11, is Flurch Munster's 62nd birthday. (as reported by the Daily Breeze paper).
And I received no better present than to read the listing of it: "Senator John Kerry (D-MA) is 62."
Not "failed presidential candidate John Kerry is 62" (though I wouldn't have minded seeing that).
Thankfully not "President John Kerry is 62."
Just "Senator John Kerry is 62."
---"Flurch Munster" is the combination of Flipper (for his flip-flops), Lurch (for his uncanny resemblance to the Addams Family character) and Herman Munster (though Kery wishes he had the grace and character of the late Fred Gwynne, who played Herman). Coined during endless 2004 presidential campaign.
