If you don't like Kerry's quote, how bout...
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

1)You immediately shift to other people when you can't defend the Kerry quote. We are talking about Kerry here..not Madeline or Clinton as far as becomming the next President.
2) and in every quote, the emphasis was on PREVENTION of the development of nuclear weapons etc..which WAS successful. Hussein even destroyed the weapons he had way before we invaded.
The containment policy was working. There was no Al Qaeda connections in Iraq because Bin Laden & co hated the secular state that Saddam ruled and Saddam, for all his craziness, thought Bin Laden was a nut. So, I still don't see how our invasion of Iraq made the world any safer against terrorism.
Don't tell me to look at the bigger picture..that's a total copout.
When buildings are attacked in NYC, I want specifics..not generalities.
