I don't know that at all. I know that's what Kerry wants us to think, and I know it's his only way out, but do I know that's what he meant? No, not at all.

Am I just being a partisan shill? Well, here are my reasons:

Kerry has a LONG history of saying similar things. His 1971 Speech in front of the Senate Foreign Relations committee and his quip that troops were 'Terrorizing' women and children in Iraq, for example. If this were his first statement like this, I'd agree, it was just a misstep, but it's not.

Second, what he said is common wisdom in liberal strongholds everywhere. Walk around the U-District and look at anti-war posters and talk to anti-war folks in Freemont. I've heard a similar thing from people like that time and time again. They think that troops are ignorant morons who signed up because of stupidity and lack of any better things to do because they are being 'explointed

You have a point: either way it's pretty (characteristically) dumb. My point is, the man said it was about X, fine, let's say he said it about X - it doesn't exactly redeem him at all. It's basically that the statement was either insulting and stupid, or stupid and insulting.

BTW, why so 'anonymous'?
