Repukes to Kerry: why do you hate our troops?
John Kerry said Wednesday the war in Iraq is a failure and that a shake-up is needed to end the Bush misadministration's mistakes and incompetence. Bunnypants’ campaign chairman Marc Racicot (Isn’t that a French name??) promptly and predictably accused him of playing politics and undermining military morale.

Gee, I don’t know, but if I was one of the soldiers out in that hellhole I’d be panting at the thought that either someone was going to call us home, or do something to bloody well fix the situation. But that’s just me.

Kerry rejected the charge that he had politicized the war. "They had no plan for winning the peace and now Americans are paying the price," he said. "That is disgraceful."

Kerry said responsibility for the abuse of prisoners in Iraq extends all the way to the Oval Office and that Bush must accept responsibility for setting a tone that allowed the abuse to take place. In addition, he warned that a few low-ranking soldiers shouldn't be made scapegoats for a broader policy that led to the abuse.

Racicot again, predictably, hyperventilated:
"To blame the abuse on Bush and the armed forces is to blame all of America for the disgusting actions of a few. It's striking to see the ease with which John Kerry thrusts an important moment into the campaign's daily spin cycle, compared to the president's steady leadership and focus on doing what he believes is right.”
**cough**bullshit**cough**
What a tool.
Does he listen to himself?? Does he really think we’re all idiots? There are so many things wrong with what he said that I don’t know where to start. I'm going out for a drink.
