Reply #7: Yeah, I like that -- invite alienation and deepen risks

Look, I don't want you guys to get the wrong idea -- I completely agree with Kerry on this, and certainly agree with his statement on FOTN in spirit. I just thought it was a poor word choice, and if a member of the special forces had given me a hard time for my bumper sticker about the word "terrorizing", I would not have put up a fight. I would have said "you're right, it was a bad word choice. however, I think the main point he was trying to put across was that that work should be done by Iraqis, which was your mission (training them) over there, right?" Then I might add to not read too much into things, that Kerry is a big advocate for members of the military in the Senate and most of this talk is pure hype. But I am trying to be honest that I did feel funny about my bumper sticker that day. However, soon after my car died. It's fixed now, and I am so happy to see my Kerry/Edwards sticker once again! I am very proud of my adopted senator and shadow president for that smackdown performance on This Week. And because of him, at least for the moment, dKos has become a less harsh place to visit.
