US PRESIDENT George W. Bush today blasted Democratic Senator John Kerry for saying people who neglected their education "get stuck in Iraq" and demanded an apology to troops.
In a bruising throwback to their 2004 war for the White House exactly one week before US legislative elections, Mr Bush called the comment "insulting and shameful'' and Senator Kerry shot back that the charge was "crazy'' and based on a "lie".
Senator Kerry had told a university audience on Monday: "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.''
Republicans, worried that the unpopular war in Iraq that has weakened the White House could cost them control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, or both on November 7, gleefully pounced on Senator Kerry's comment to underscore their campaign theme that Democrats are weak on national security.
That led the senator, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, to explain in an exasperated and angry tone today that his comments were "a botched joke about the president and the president's people, not about the troops".

Hey my cousin gradudate from College he is in US Miltary now he is no DUMMMY Senator KERRY

the senator, a decorated Vietnam War veteran
Yeah, decorated with medals from self inflicted and superficial wounds. What a bunch of crap
The Democratic Party is on suicide watch....again.
"99.9 percent of the enlisted forces have at least a high school education, and 73.3 percent have been to college. "
I'd add that that well exceeds the average of the general population. It's the best educated, best trained and most high-tech military in the history of the world. Kerry's implication that these are dumb losers is not only offensive but patently false.
