Upstaging Osama

Kerry Belittles U.S. Troops

"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. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

-- John Kerry

Over thirty years ago, John Kerry accused his fellow soldiers still in combat in Vietnam of wantonly murdering and raping civilians and burning their villages.

A few months ago, John Kerry said American troops in Iraq were "terrorizing" women and children in the dead of night.

Now he says the troops in Iraq ended up there because they are ignorant and uneducated.

At least Kerry is consistent: he besmirches and belittles American troops no matter the conflict in which they are involved. Now even Democrats are distancing themselves from the Massachusetts senator since he managed to expose their thoughts and feelings for our troops to the whole nation and the world.

It will be hard for Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri to top that one.
