Maybe thats why. There are other pictures that show Kerry having lunch with American troops. Oh, and if you missed it, there is a new poll that came out yesterday, showing that the majority of men and women serving in the military do NOT approve of Bush's war policies. Check it out, it was from CNN. Anyway, nice blog. Happy new year!Nevumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539284688613605853noreply@blogger.com
