We've been swimming in this same old pond for a while, might as well be
cordial and open to each other's ideas, eh, MtnClimber? I hope you're having a great Halloween.

Blanche, You do place a new perspective on the issue. Though
I have a very difficult time trusting Kerry, I will consider giving him the benefit of the doubt!

Both John Kerry and Sen. John Murtha have served more time in a latrine
than the collective combined total of our fearless Adminstration. Who's the coward?

Sadly, facts, gentlemen, say otherwise, here's an excerpt of Kerry's talk.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House accused Sen. John Kerry on Tuesday of troop-bashing, seizing on a comment the Democrat made to California students that those unable to navigate the country's education system ''get stuck in Iraq.''
''Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who've given their lives in this,'' White House press secretary Tony Snow said. ''This is an absolute insult.''
Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran and President Bush's 2004 rival, fired back.
He said he had been criticizing Bush, not the ''heroes serving in Iraq,'' and said the president and his administration are the ones who owe U.S. troops an apology because they ''misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it.''
''This is the classic GOP playbook,'' Kerry said in a harshly worded statement. ''I'm sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did. I'm not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium.

Dallas, You are right! Many of those who are serving are doing so
so that can come back and receive a free education. I just had a friend get married in August, and had to leave in September for Iraq. Believe he will use his monies for educational purposes!

I am sure that there are those.......
who will not find it offensive....but I think he's a jerk! Many of those same troops are planniong on using the military to help them get a college education.....many already have on, and still many more have graduate degrees...........but I guess "Mr. 'D' Average when he as a Freshman" thinks these young men and women were drafted?
Thank you for linking to the article........
