What do you think our troops were saying to Kerry in that picture they held up in Iraq?

Question

Kerry told the students that if they studied hard they could do well, but if they didn't "you get stuck in Iraq." His office said he neglected to add the punch line: "Just ask President Bush."

OOPS!! They changed the picture on their news site. Sorry! I hope you all know which one they held up to Kerry.

Answer 1

They were making fun of Kerry because he called them all stupid, and then covered it by saying it was just a joke, and then covered that by saying he was sorry people got mad that he said it

Answer 2

So what's the deal Kerry is guilty on not having the delivery of Seinfeld.

First Irish guys should stick to limerick. and leave the jokes to Jewish comedians.

I wish you link was good I'm sure it is becoming.

As a Vietnam Vet I am quite sure that some of the men in uniform are capable of great things. While others gravitate to infamy.

As much as I dislike Kerry He did at least saddle up and not go AWOL.

Go big Red Go

Answer 3

I know they had hard feelings about that, everyone made it seem like an insult toward the troops on a statement that was totally aimed toward Bush, and his administration about the war in Iraq. If they were fed misleading info then of course they were offended and might have said we hate Kerry, but it's hard to tell. All I know is that it's time for them to come back home to their waiting families, friends, loved ones, and their country. I'd rather have them HERE and ALIVE, than THERE and DEAD!!!

Answer 4

They were making fun of his elitist and condescending opinions of them. The military knows Kerry doesn't respect them and I love how they turned it around on him. He's a dirtball and thinks he's untouchable because of his paper cut purple hearts.

Kerry makes a big deal of his 4 months in Vietnam, then came back and accused the military of all kinds of atrocities that were later proven to be false.

If Kerry had ANY integrity, he'd make his apology verbally, not post yet another anti-war diatribe non-apology on his web site. He would make his apology and STFU. Noooooo, he has to make a half-hearted apology and then drone on for ten minutes about his opinions on the war. Every statement has to bash the war and Bush. He cannot drop politics long enough to make a sincere apology. He's the worst kind of politician, a blowhard with nothing of value to say.

Answer 5

They were telling Kerry to stuff it. Most Americans know what he meant. Liberals hate the military. It was decimated under Clinton. Bush has finally rebuilt it.

Whether people want to admit this or not, most liberals look down on the average person. I have seen repeated examples of this.

Answer 6

I wonder if anyone actually realizes that Kerry is not running for any office whatsoever in this election. The fact that the republicans and the news will waste days on this story should tell you that the republicans don't want to discuss issues. Probably because their stand is untenable.

My guess is they are thanking him for trying to stand up to the president and his cronies who got us into this mess so that they can dismantle the constitution.

Answer 7

It was a response from the very people that should respond. It should be a message that is highly regarded, since it came from those that are serving in Iraq. Who better to interpret the "joke"?

The fact that the picture was taken down is concerning - our soldiers should have freedom of speech!

Answer 8

our fine troops,i think they are smarter than Kerry and ,i did not see the sign,i do not need to ,as that bastard Kerry is a no good sob,and the majority of out troops know that and would probably not even drink coffer with Kerry.Kerry is as he does ..but it was no joke,and yet it is a joke,understand ,,,,mam

Answer 9

very few must have study this questions and intensely few replied it although i'm also between them a citizen of us of a till now an Indian as we received't stay a citizen of two countries because being American resident we are no more effective Indian yet we can visit our mom land for ever and are loose to stay there too loosing all advantages if we stay longer i imagine , each and all of us loves peace and hate an section the position there's no protection . after I see terrorism is a international challenge each and all of us might want to play his or her position . even as Malala a muslim woman can strive against for education of girls ,even as a baby needs his or her freedom a terrorist lives in terror and not in any respect loose from its outcomes ,an afternoon would come even as human beings would come ahead to wipe it from human minds in spite of the indisputable fact that it really is in basic terms too overdue already , there are such diverse technique of destruction to wipe entire humanity if needed action isn't taken quicker . i'm too small to take any action ,yet all type of violent videos must be removed from media so as that we do not have get correct of entry to to them by any skill . human beings can lease those kinds of videos for couple greenbacks and stand as a lot as strive against with kinfolk then to next neighbor then at artwork then someplace at determining to purchase mall ,then everywhere he does not imagine correct further on by technique of media and factors he can get correct of entry to from cafes and celeb dollar who provide this freedom so genuinely . Then we attempt to calm the ideas it really is already bombarded with a lot unfavourable guidance international huge .

Answer 10

There is no punchline because there was no joke.
Well, maybe, the jokes on Kerry for his own political suicide.
Life is good !!!!!
