Kerry Takes on the Troops
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
Former presidential candidate John Kerry causing the controversy of the week by insinuating that U.S. troops are not educated. Kerry spoke to a group of student in California yesterday, telling them to get an education or you'll get stuck in Iraq. "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq," Kerry said. Kerry says his comment was aimed at President Bush and is not apologizing. "I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy," he later said at a news conference in Seattle.
Of course, the Republicans are furious. President Bush spoke out against Kerry's comments at a rally today. "Our troops did not enlist because they did not study hard in school or do their homework," Bush said. "The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots."
