No, it did no such thing.  You *could* read it
that way, but that wouldn't make any sense, given
Kerry's rock-solid support for the troops.  As I
said, it would have been about as likely for him
to insult the troops as it would for Bush to
insult Christians.

As Kerry said on Imus this morning:

It's just a disgraceful thing when people try to
assert that somebody like me, who has spent 35
years of my life fighting for veterans, standing
up for veterans, fighting for their combat pay,
fighting for Agent Orange recognition, fighting
for their armor, fighting for their up-armored
Humvees, fighting for them to have a strategy that
wins, fighting to honor them, that the notion that
this comment was directed at them is an insult by
these guys.  And they know it.
