John Kerry's Comments...
By now, nearly every newspaper in Australia has run a story on Fmr Presidential Candidate John Kerry's comments in relation to education. If you haven't heard the full version here it is...(as transcribed by me from BBC's World Today Select)
Kerry:We're here to talk about education, but I want to say something before. Now education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart. ah... You can do well, if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
Audience: [Laughter]
Not surprisingly this is being interpreted as Kerry saying US soldiers are stupid, Kerry's office released a statement saying that he didn't finish the joke, he was meant to add 'Just ask President Bush'...
I still don't get the joke...
Something else I don't get is this picture, published by The Australian, apparently in response to Kerry's comments, a group of US Soldiers in Iraq made a sign...
I guess it's supposed to be a bit of fun, but I still don't get it... I wonder if that's because I haven't pledged and allegiance to America?
