Mike, have you ever, in your entire life, misspoke? I have. Thank God I am not held to what I _said_, but am allowed to try to explain what I _meant to say_.
The words he spoke, in the context he spoke them, can just as easily (in my mind, more easily), apply to the President (who was the topic of the previous sentences, and the following sentences). If you also take into account the prepared notes he was reading from, and his history of statements since he has been an elected official, it becomes pretty obvious he was not talking about the troops, but trying to insult the President. On the other hand, if you want to believe he is lying about what he was trying to say, his writers are lying about what they wrote for him to say, that , that in the middle of a tirade about the how bad the President is he would pass up the chance to insult the President by insulting the troops, and that he slipped up with a "freudian slip", then you are free to believe that. But, I submit, your believing he said that says more about you and your heart than him and his heart. I on the other hand, believe he is a horrible public speaker, that he gets panicked when speaking to a crowd, and that he is such a nerd he cannot even read a joke correctly.
