4. The smear-mongers are really reaching on this one, aren't they?
Like you said: "Talk about a grandiose stretch of the word “terrorize” which Kerry used to describe the feelings that any woman or child would have under the circumstances described by Kerry."

I've seen pictures of those terrorized kids, women, and even men.

You'd be terrorized too, Mr Limbaugh and Ms Ingraham, if confronted by a group of armed uniformed people yelling at you in a foreign language, especially when you have heard the stories of people being gunned down for not responding "correctly" to some command shouted in that foreign tongue. You'd be terrorized because you have no idea what those yelling armed people want you to do, and you believe they may shoot you at any minute for not doing it.

Menawhile, the armed foreigners are only doing what they've been ordered and trained to do. Maybe they are yelling because they were told to do it, or maybe because they themselves are scared shitless and don't even realize they're yelling.

And they haven't been trained to speak Iraqi.
