You heard one statement out of context. I heard the entire thing last week, and he was definately not even talking about the troops but was making a joke about George Bush being stupid. After listening to the whole thing, I don't even think anyone with any intelligence could interpret it otherwise. But the Republicans, knowing that most people are more in tuned with hearing a short 10-second sound byte than with listening to a long speech, ran with their own version of it. I guess they were hoping it would make an impact on election day. Apparently nobody really cared.

(just for the record, you just insinuated that everyone that disagrees with your view is unintelligent, so i have no guilt in calling bullshit on you)

You have got to be joking..... it wasn't some misinterpreted sound bite, nor some tiny little comment as part of some huge speech, he went off script and tried to be cute and he got himself in trouble... heres the video :

"Education -- if you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well," said Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat. "If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

I must be an idiot, because that sure as hell sounds pretty cut and dry to me. I don't see how anyone with any intelligence would interpret it any other way than how he said it. Except for the mindless sheep that will believe any democrat/anti-bush spin that is presented...

have a nice sunday, go giants!

(btw- I hate all politicians and both parties, so don't come back to me with bush bashing ridiculousness, we'ld need a month of sundays for that)

Like I said, you just listened to the 10 second sound byte (13 seconds to be exact), not his complete speech. Listen to the parts before and after that statement and it becomes very obvious to anyone what he is talking about Bush and not the troops.

And once again, I listened to the entire thing, and once again, no one has to listen to the entire thing to understand what he said. It is not a misquoted sound bite as the political spin machine would like everyone to believe, and you seem to have swalled hook/line/sinker for some reason.
