From a reader:

Kerry was talking to crowd of college students when he said:
You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you dont, you get stuck in Iraq. All of his examples are directed to the students, if he were talking about President Bush, he would have ended with “you get us stuck in Iraq.”
