If the Repubs think they can take advantage of a joke, (it was) They are more stupid then I imagined. Even the students, where he spoke, knew it was a joke! Now let's see who didn't get it.
Bush, Cheney, Snow, GOP mealymouths and numerous chickenhawks who spent time avoiding VietNam and even now have a disproportionate number of family members in Iraq.
Where are Bushies daughters?: when the military is filled with female soldiers who serve their country with honor! Bushies minions have refused to provide adequite ammor, adequite medical care for injured soldiers, refused to mandate Life insurance for widows ond widowers who die in Iraq and the list goes on.

Who doesn't get the joke are the stupid Americans who didn't research the issues, didn't investigate the politicians running for office. Didn't realize the bushies were going to take away freedoms fought for by soldiers, civil rights workers, women and other disenfranchised Americans. Didn't bother to think that America is not a fortress and America must work with other countries if America is to remain free. Didn't bother to investigate the issues between the religious factions in the Middle East to the point of realizing America was gong to be in the middle of a religious civil war! Don't realize that most wars in the world begin with religion and end with religion. And continue to believe religion ought to dictate political issues in America.

Didn't bother to question their thinking when General after General has stated The Bushies weren't prepared to have war in Iraq.

What I wrote isn't going to change many minds but I am an American Vietnam Vet and that war was started by lies and so is the Iraqi war fought by lies.

I can not believe that Kerry's slip has given Bush and Co. so much political ammunition.

The current administration has said and done so much worse in the last half a decade that I am suprised Bush, Rice and Rumsfeld can show their faces in public.

Without wanting to belittle local dialects, Bush's retort "(they're) plenty smart" is hardly the sort of hard hitting return you would expect in an arguement between the President and his main foe.

Any reasonable or rational person could see past Kerry's mistake; it's about time the "Hooah!" sabre rattling of the American government focused on real issues in the world, not petty squabbles designed to blind the US people of the real problems that the Republicans have created or made worse.

Get a grip, America. It's interesting to point out that the term "snafu", used by CNN.com to describe the senators comment is an American invention. That's what their government likes doing.

I am proud American, and I do agree 100 per cent with above comments.
I think United States has to change it's foreign policies. They must understand that this world has changed, all the Nations are awakened bow. They want their rights-equal rights, and fair ones. The time for world empires has ended. I don't think Bush should have invaded Iraq without any good reason. Saddam Hussein, not presented any kind of a terrorist threat. I think both Bush and his father, because they have peculiar speech patterns, have been underestimated in terms of their intellectual capicity, and the way they speak and all, it could just relate to the way synapses work in their brains.!!!!!
