Iraq - John Kerry calls US troops stupid

This is how the Democrats "support" our troops. While our brave men and women are fighting and defending America half way around the world, back home a leading Democrat says they're there because their stupid. These are the people who want lead our country.

If the Democrats think our troops are stupid, what does that say about the Democrats ability to protect America?



Here's a transcipt.

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

This is the typical denegration of our troops from the Democrats. To the Democrats our troops are either poor or stupid, why else would they volunteer to fight for America? Patiotism is unknown to the Democrats. Ted Kennedy's KGB connections are proof of that.

But like most things that come out of Kerry and the Democrats mouths, the truth is quite different.

"Or was the decision made so freely? Could it be that unscrupulous Pentagon recruiters duped them, taking advantage of their poverty, their lack of education and the bleak futures they share as members of the USA's urban underclass?

That's the view of some critics, such as New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, who writes that "very few" of the soldiers fighting in Iraq "are coming from the privileged economic classes," and that there would likely be no war if rich kids had to fight. According to Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., social equality demands reinstatement of the draft, which he justifies by asserting that "the most privileged Americans are underrepresented or absent." Herbert concludes that there is "something very, very wrong with this picture."

What's "very, very wrong" with the Rangel-Herbert picture is that it has no factual basis.

According to a comprehensive study of all enlistees for the years 1998-99 and 2003 that The Heritage Foundation just released, the typical recruit in the all-volunteer force is wealthier, more educated and more rural than the average 18- to 24-year-old citizen is. Indeed, for every two recruits coming from the poorest neighborhoods, there are three recruits coming from the richest neighborhoods."

Truth simply does not matter to the Democrats. They will lie and say anything to get back in power. What's Kerry's and Pelosi's stance on Iraq's WMD? According to these two morons Bush lied about them. Which overlooks the stunning obvious question - if Bush lied about them didn't he and the government know they'd be found out once we were in Iraq? Why not plant a few WMD if you're going to lie about them.

Here's a ton of proof to bury the Democrats with on that score. Here, watch and listen to Kerry and Pelosi admit Iraq had WMD.





Confused? So are the Democrats.



UPDATE

When Kerry supporters start claiming Kerry was referring to Bush and not the troops, remind them Kerry voted for the war in Iraq.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz., Aug. 9 -- Responding to President Bush's challenge to clarify his position, Sen. John F. Kerry said Monday that he still would have voted to authorize the war in Iraq even if he had known then that U.S. and allied forces would not find weapons of mass destruction.

Also, bear in mind the audience Kerry was talking to.

Kerry told the Pasadena City College crowd to study hard and get an education -- or wind up like the losers in the military:

Kerry was talking to college students and telling them to make an effort to "be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq."
