Sen. John Kerry, whose botched joke about U.S. troops in Iraq dealt a blow to his presidential ambitions, will travel to Iraq this weekend to meet with soldiers, political leaders and military officials.
"I've talked to plenty of guys who've come back from Iraq, who are there now, who understand exactly what happened," Kerry said of his joke in a telephone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. "They laugh at it."
The Iraq stop will be part of a nine-day Mideast trip that includes stops in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
A week before the midterm elections, Kerry told a group of California students that individuals who don't study hard and do their homework would likely "get stuck in Iraq." He said he meant to say "get us stuck in Iraq," but the botched joke intended to criticize President Bush forced the senator to apologize and then lay low for the remaining days of the campaign.
The Massachusetts senator, who was widely criticized for the quip, said he'd be happy to apologize to any soldiers he encounters in Iraq who don't understand what happened.
"For anybody who misunderstood (the joke) or got only the White House presentation of it, I'd apologize, obviously," he said.

Or is he meeting with our soldiers this time?
Or he's making it up, or talking to these "deserters" like Sgt Patrick Hart, who should have an innie instead of an outie, because he is another word for a cat.
The world is going crazy. Those getting in the news are the least of us..I'm sorry I am eluding to crudeness, but, nothing explains kerry but CRUDE!
Dear God make it stop. Haven't the poor troops been through enough?

I guess we should be pinging all the Freepers who have family over there, or who are there themselves. Word should spread fast, so wherever he goes the troops will have time to "not feel good" enough to stand with forced smiles as this traitor uses them for his political photo op.
OH... He's meeting with ~our~ soldiers.
I guess that ~is~ news. ;-P
Let's hope the troops refuse to talk to him, to shake hands with him, refuse to make any sounds whatever not even dainty soft polite clapping when they are forced to endure one of his inane speeches.
Let him get the Silence treatment from the troops and let the press cover/report it to high heaven.
I'm not so sure. He was booed at a gathering of the troops recently. ;*)
Well, I've talked to my son who is over in Iraq and he understands exactly what Kerry said and meant as do all of the guys.
The picture says it all.
I just can't believe that this guy is so dense.
And God bless them, everyone. He isn't good enough to wipe their boots.
I wish they could turn their backs on him.
No comment that is acceptable on this forum.
Little more to say...................FRegards
I hope he takes his wife to impress the heads of state....
