As you know, he didn't blame or criticize the troops, to the contrary. He blamed the civilian and military leadership. > and accused American soldiers of terrorizing innocent > women and children in Iraq in the dark of night. I don't recall this, but I'd be willing to bet the context was very similar, that whatever they were doing was a function of the mismanagement of the war at the top. Kerry just does not criticize U.S. troops. It would be as unlikely that Kerry would turn around and start insulting them as it would be for Bush to denounce Christianity. > And it is the Democrat mantra You keep making this mistake.

I haven't heard that, actually, but it's irrelevant in any case, because *Kerry* didn't say that. > Kerry only came out with what he now says he > meant to say today, some 48 hours after his > original statement.
