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.

NOT included in the article above, but in another article that read about this trip, is the fact that Kerry will be meeting w/the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. Shades of Jimmah Carter...meeting w/our enemies.
"..better keep an eye on the "jokester" while he's in Syria, he might try to cut a deal with the weasel like he's done in the past during a time of war" ~ Doogle
It's a DemocRAT tradition.

Is he travelling up the Euphrates in a Swift boat at the request of the CIA ?
Careful, Johnny. You might end up with an accidental Purple Heart.
They've come back, they're there now, they've come back, they're there now.

Noting the date...was this his Holloween Costume? :)
"I've talked to plenty of guys who've come back from Iraq, who are there now, who understand exactly what happened,"
Yes John----We ALL understand exactly what happened. You apparently do not 'get' exactly what you did. Perhaps Taarrrezzza could explain this to you
Good. I hope he gets lots of photo-ops; and do hope that Kerry gets a 'token'- or two - from al-Assad for his efforts.
God, what losers we must put up with. . .and God help us as well.
Looks like Kerry's series of one-night stands will qualify him as a ME expert...................HE thinks.
...senator Bill Nelson(D)has already held meetings with the head weasel of Syria this past week...IN "TALKS"

No doubt; and he is probably having visions of being invited on every network; from Chris to Britt; to 'share' his straight from the horses mouth findings. . .(which can only be framed by no more than 'Bush's fault'. . .)
