Do we really need Bush telling people the military is smart?

Question

Anyone 'demoralized' and now feeling better the White House is cheering on military 'smarts' seven days before election?

I would like to hear several different views.

Answer 1

Kerry shouldn't have said what he said. And I am very grateful for the things the military does, for little pay and not much thanks.

But (I've said this before and I'm sure I'll say it again), anyone with any better options in life who would willingly join the military at a time like this when such a cowboy occupies the White House is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed.

So what Kerry said is absolutely true, he just should not have said it.

Answer 2

President Bush has said all along that our current military is the best equipped, most intelligent and most capable military in the world.

But even if you disagree, it is better to have the Commander in Chief say ONCE that he believes the military is smart instead of having a "wannabe" say that he thought the military was uneducated before he thought they were educated.
To put it bluntly, the "wannabe" doesn't think.

Answer 3

Do we really need John Kerry telling the military they aren't smart? I for one am tired of hearing Democrats putting down our military Men and Women. Iraq is not Vietnam, most of the American people want us to win there and understand why we are there. Besides they all voted for us to go there. I know someone is going to tell me how bad and stupid George Bush is, but the fact is that Bush got better grades in college than Kerry.

Answer 4

Everyone knows Kerry was talking about Bush not the military. Maybe it was a dumb thing for him to say. But to lie and twist it into anything having to do with the military is simply dishonest.

Answer 5

Sounds like Kerry was saying he was stupid because he was in the military and Bush was smart because he wasn't. Isn't that what he was saying???? What a jerk! Leave it to the Dem's to stick a great big foot in a great big mouth right before an election.

Answer 6

The better question is...... Do we need Kerry telling us we aren't smart? I watch the news clip too. Nice try on the spin... I wasn't demoralized by Kerry's statement at all. Just proves Kerry doesn't think much of the military. We must not buy enough Hienz 57?

Answer 7

Well...you dont hear anyone else saying it- certainly none of the Democrats.

Sen. Kerry's decision to attempt a back-handed joke back-fired. That was "mean-spirited". If he wanted to discuss the issues, he should keep it at that. To make comments about anyone isnt called-for.

"We can do better." Way to lead by example, Sen Kerry.

Answer 8

The military is not smart! If Bush said you are "Terrorist" they would
kill you with out question. All rules and laws have been replaced
with total dictatorship and power rule.

Answer 9

rather you have have been given a dizzying ideas, OP. you unquestionably haven't any understanding of any of those issues you raise. I desire I felt like entering each and each of them extensive, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that i will in basic terms carry on with the "conflict." i'm now no longer a democrat, and that i'm no longer many times one to attend to democratic congressmen, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that they deserve it at an analogous time as uneducated, misinformed invoice O'Reilly disciples spew what you have have been given repeated. on the draw back of the "conflict," the "surge" has no longer worked. once you're saying each and each analyst agrees in this, you're misinformed. The surge supplied added secure practices that has triggered temporary decreases in casualties, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that has instituted 0 lasting effects--it is, if those added troops have been to be withdrawn, the affected places could in basic terms approximately rather bypass lower back to their pre-surge dispositions. On Barack Obama's stance on Iraq, please show us a turn-flop, on condition that I even have not substantive one. He has pronounced he could withdraw troops as rapidly as a possibility--that doesn't mean staggering us all on the 1st C-130s out of Iraq as rapidly as Obama takes the oath of workplace, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that instead as rapidly as rotation out of theater would additionally be carried out at an analogous time as briefing the specifically Iraqi substitute secure practices equipment. which would be a sixteen-18 month proposition, be helpful. As on your asinine assertion that "we would desire to truly win Iraq previous to we can be waiting to try against one f," have you ever stopped to sense that there became as quickly as rather no properly purpose to be in Iraq interior the 1st place?

Answer 10
