I really don't see any reason to put much stock in a single little slip-up that a politician has when making comments someplace.

Even when it's a totally unsubstantiated claim, essentially saying that our soldiers are terrorizing women and children? I thought the big reason we needed to get out was to save our soldiers, not to save others from our soldiers.
Kerry is, to some extent, speaking for the democrats on this issue. I don't think that what he said above is at all fair to their message.

Well, the claims really aren't unsubstantiated. There have been numerous media reports from foreign journalists and coalition soldiers that report abuse, harassment and intimidation of Iraqi citizens by US soldiers.
Also, the reason we need to get out is because the war has been terribly mismanaged and the soldiers who are there don't have the proper resources and leadership to act as an occupying force.
