Published in the New York Times, November, 02, 2006 http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/02/opinion/l02iraq.html To the Editor: John Kerry's "botched joke" is just what it is ("As Vote Nears, Stances on War Set Off Sparks," front page, Nov.1). But if the senator put his foot in his mouth, the fact is that the ultimate insulting and shameful suggestion belongs to the White House when our commander in chief manipulated the minds of Americans for the reason to go to war in Iraq. Where is President Bush's apology for the loss of more than 2,800 American lives?

Re: " '04 foes exchange fire anew on troops, war, education," Nov. 1: If anyone owes an apology to the members of the United States military, it is our commander-in-chief for more than 2,800 U.S lives - so far - have been lost in Iraq for his war of choice. Sen. John Kerry's "botched joke" is unfortunate, yet far from being criminal. Monique Frugier Ardmore |
