The Corner is reporting that John Kerry will hold a news conference at 2PM to discuss his recent comment.
Thanks, armywife1. I served two tours there myself.
Very Best FReegards,

That's what he INTENDED .... "mysterious forces" made him leave out 2 words, so that what he said was: "study hard or you'll be stuck in Iraq." The inference of what he actually said being: you'll end up in the military if you don't work hard and have another job direction. Either statement: Inflammatory and DUMB! I say thank the Lord for this screw-up. Talk about unintended consequences.
welcome aboard, and nice note, but you should have drawn pictures for the idiot
"Kerry will use that as a reason to get another Purple Heart."
It will be the 1st one he's earned!
No, it wasn't funny. But it's typical dim procedure to claim that Republicans are distorting what he really *meant* to say. Apparently dims are never capable of actually saying what they "mean" to say. Or, as I suspect, they say exactly what they mean to say and then realize they shouldn't have said it.
Makes me sick to know that is what the dems think of our kids serving over there.
He is a one man disaster. On Fox just now an Arab speaker who has monitored Arab web sites said the clip would undoubtedly play well in the Middle East. She said already that Arab speaking chat rooms are saying things like "we thank the Democrats for doing our work".
I think it was about 1PM Central. You have got to hear this!!!

Thanks.
God bless you.
I concur - and if it *was* a botched joke or swipe at the President's policies, the original statement is STILL an insult to people who serve in the military. That alone merited an apology, and for Kerry to pointedly refuse to apologize to ANYONE is a horrific mistake. Were he smart, he would've issued a profound apology to the troops - *then* gone into his spin with regard to what he "really meant".
Such an example of arrogance. Kerry should've had someone standing beside him up at the podium, whispering "Remember, thou art mortal!" in his ear.
Needless to say, Kerry's office number is busy.

In Georgia today:
....I cannot tell you how proud I am to be the Commander-in-Chief of such incredibly brave men and women who have volunteered to wear the uniform of the United States. And even in the midst of a heated campaign season, there are still some things we should all be able to agree on – and one of the most important is that every one of our troops deserves our gratitude – and respect. Yesterday Democrat Senator John Kerry was speaking to a group of young people in California, and gave them this advice, quote: “You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t you get stuck in Iraq.”
The Senator’s suggestion that the men and women of our military are somehow uneducated is insulting and shameful. Our troops did not enlist because they did not study hard in school or do their homework. The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer Armed Forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots – and Senator Kerry owes them an apology.
Whatever party you belong to, whatever you think about the war in Iraq, we should all agree that our troops deserve our unwavering support. And when it comes to supporting our men and women in uniform, I don’t have any doubt where Mac Collins is going to land. He is a strong supporter of the military. And he knows what I know: Any time you have American troops in harm’s way, they have the right to expect the full support of the American government.
I'm thinking no .. he did leave out those 2 words, designed to be a rotten attack on W, especially after Chrissy's comments about reading the entire speech.
He left out "getting us" before stuck in Iraq. It's up thread .. what it was supposed to say.
From the liberals and the MSM play-book:
We shouldn't let up, we shouldn't let it die down, we should keep talking about it right into the election, we should have a bonanza of 30-sec spot adds to drown the liberal swimmers in it. That should shut the fat swimmer up!
I'm sure Rove, the magnificent bastard will take care of it. After all, he's the one who set it up, wasn't he? LOL
Bush had only one D in the 4 years of college. Kerry had four D's his freshman year and another in his sophomore year. Who's dumb?
Dont waste your time calling HIS office, they dont give a ship. CALL YOUR SENATOR and DEMAND they seek an immediate censorship of him on the floor. Use the time wisely...Not much time left...CALL NOW..HAVE YOUR FRIENDS CALL...DO IT NOW!!
Our sons and daughters are our proudest legacy...we must protect our warriors.
Bev Harris is getting a documentary about scary electronic voting machines on HBO, by the way.
No doubt about it. Karl Rove stole the missing words!
