Kerry under fire for Iraq 'joke'

Republicans say Mr Kerry's words were demeaning to US troops   Kerry's comments Former Democratic US presidential candidate John Kerry is facing angry criticism for comments made to students about the war in Iraq.   On Tuesday the White House demanded he apologise for saying failed students could get "stuck in Iraq" as soldiers. But Mr Kerry refused, saying the target of his "botched joke" was Mr Bush's "broken policy" and not US troops.   The war of words comes just days ahead of US mid-term elections, which could hinge on the issue of the war in Iraq. Mr Kerry, speaking to a group of California university students on Monday, said: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well." He added: "If you don't you get stuck in Iraq."   It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks who've never worn the uniform of our country are willing to lie about those who did John Kerry   US mid-terms blog: Kerry row New media, new war
