Maybe It's Just a Botched Joke

Earlier this week Seymour Hersh, a writer for The New Yorker, denounced America's military in a speech he delivered in a foreign country. McGill Daily has this account of Hersh's talk at the Montreal university:


<<< "The bad news," investigative reporter Seymour Hersh told a Montreal audience last Wednesday, "is that there are 816 days left in the reign of King George II of America."

The good news? "When we wake up tomorrow morning, there will be one less day." . . .

If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said.

"In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation," he said. "It isn't happening now, but I will tell you--there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq." >>>


Something tells us we are not alone in suspecting that this is how John Kerry* would talk were he not constrained by the need to face the voters occasionally.


* "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, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
