Dear Mr. Kerry

redaxeI thought you claimed to be a fighter.
I hoped so, too, in 2004. You claimed you had our backs, and then you gave up without a whimper, even before the voted were counted and the frauds were investigated.
Now you've let us down again. John, your joke was poorly executed, and sure, the thugs over in the White House jumped all over it. But you could as easily have turned things back to our side, by continuing to fight. You needed to stay out on the campaign trail, not shrivel like a raisin in the Sahara. Here's your script:
"I apologize to our troops in Iraq. I misspoke; you are in fact intelligent men and women.
"I apologize also for your having to be there as the result of incompetent and criminal choices by a C-minus student who evaded any serious military duty himself, and cannot possibly understand what you are experiencing there. I'm sorry you're dying as a result, and we are going to do our damndest to get you home, where you belong, as soon as possible."
I'm sorry, you've just lost all credibility as a fighter, and I'm glad to say, I can't see you coming close to the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008.
Get out of the spotlight, if you must; soldier, shut up and soldier.
No love,
Me.
