WHAT ABOUT THE VETERANS ‘JOHN’??
This is an apology?????????
johnkerry.com offers this halfheartedly apology to our dimwitted troops in Iraq and their underprivileged families.
“As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop. I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended. It is clear the Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy. I don’t want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues. I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops.”
John, you apologized to 140 thousand troops and their families. What about the thousand upon thousands of Veterans who have served in uniform since you disgracefully entered the political scene some thirty years ago and began your harangue against the dimwitted, uneducated military members. You, Sir, are a disgrace to the uniform you wore during your three month tour in Vietnam while lost in Cambodia. I, for one, will never forget your disgraceful testimony before Congress while in uniform while our Country was at war. You managed to bamboozle the good citizens of Massachusetts but you haven’t bamboozled this veteran from the Vietnam era, Senator Kerry.

Didn't "troop" used to mean a group, like "platoon" or "battalion" (only smaller I think)? When did it start to mean "soldier"? Or could Kerry have -- hard as it is to believe! -- erred?
"...Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy."
What part has failed? I feel secure. We have not had an attack on American soil since 9/11. Many plots have been foiled. We are starting to shore up the borders. We have killed or captured thousands of terrorists who would like to destroy us. Where has W failed? I would like Kerry to explain this.
