When I heard the joke repeated by a liberal friend, both of us thought he meant the troops. He made it VERY obscure at least by the time *I* heard it. Still haven't heard the original. Had he said: "study hard in school, or you will end up like our leaders: stuck in Iraq with no plan to get us unstuck," it might have been more clear. Maybe not as "clever" to the ear, which is the problem with attack-jokes: clever and funny isn't always clear, especially when taken out-of-context.
