Kerry, whose botched joke about U.S. troops in Iraq dealt a blow to his presidential ambitions, will travel to Iraq 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.

"The really frustrating part is that we pay him a salary to be an arrogant, posturing, power-hungry doofus."

LOL

[HOTTIEBOY]

It was never a joke.

The only reason he claimed it ws a joke was to cover his a$$ after an uproar from the public.

That is exactly the way he feels about the troops.

Poeple like Kerry are so arrogant that their comments get worse and worse until someone calls them on it.

Two Senators the country could do without.

If we could send them on a one way ticket it would improve the country.

If you look closely, they ARE laughing.

I wondered what happened to Andrew Miga after he was dismissed for his left leaning diatribes in the Boston Herald. He is a Lib lover extraordinaire whose news reporting simply drips propaganda in every sentence. Figures he ended up at Al AP, They being the open minded and fair organization that they are!

Clueless senator travels to Iraq to answer the troops desperate cry for help.

I will guarantee you that they have already identified and set up the photo-ops with the few disgruntled dissenters in the military who always vote DemocRAT. If not, they'd never be going over there.

The only ones who are ever fooled by DemocRAT gas-bags will be the Smart Fellers -- as usual.

"For anybody who misunderstood (the joke) or got only the White House presentation of it, I'd apologize, obviously," he said."

He still refuses to admit the mistake was his and no one elses.

This trip follows their "secret" pre-election meeting with the Hezbollah?

Kerry loves taking the side of the enemy, and always is on the anti-America wagon.

It was never a joke. . .The only reason he claimed it ws a joke was to cover his a$$ after an uproar from the public. That is exactly the way he feels about the troops. Poeple like Kerry are so arrogant that their comments get worse and worse until someone calls them on it.

Oh I know it was NEVER a joke; just a struggle to make it so; and a media who with 'straight-face' even now; proclaim the joke; while never offering what was supposed to be funny; and they get away with it, of course.

The only joke is the one they try to perpetrate and force down the throats of the public. . .just saw a cut of Chris Matthews asking John Edwards; yesterday'; what he thought of Kerrys 'joke'. . .Edwards' wife; after he struggled; told him not to 'go there'.

Of course, if truth was a consideration; all Edwards had to say was 'what joke?'. . .

When these two has beens land in Baghdad I hope the base proctologist is on hand to greet them.

. . .and yes, meant to add; you are right 'on'; all the above. . .

[Dixie Yooper]

Maybe they can tie him on top of an armored transport vehicle and give him of tour of Baghdad and surrounding areas.

[cricket]

Yes...and when are these Demrats. . .and 'few' Repubs going to be named. . .who engaged in these meetings; supposedly ? And why have they not been. . .

[Eagle of Liberty]

Imagine that....the same two guys that headed up the Iran-Contra hearings that led to the Kerry Committee report.

TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS NOW!

These guys have been around forever stirring up the same garbage but never really accomplishing anything.

"Translation: I haven't talked to anyone, if anyone's laughing, it's at me not with me."

Democrat party members have no way of figuring out where they are not wanted, do they! Just amazing. He will probably find one malcontent there and the clown car media will run that conversation non-stop until Christmas. Just watch.
