Kerry didnt say he would have invaded Iraq. He said based on the same intelligence that Bush read that he to considered Saddam a threat. BUT... he would have let the inspectors do there job which ultimately they would have concluded that he WAS NOT A THREAT. Because there WERE no WMD's. Instead of rushing us into a war which is STILL costing American lives every day.

wrong.
"The War Against America" Page 156 (wrote before Kerry was nominated, or the War in Iraq)
But if the threat from Iraq could be represented by just five pounds of anthrax, how could a bombing campaign "seriously diminish" that threat? Didn't we have to get rid of Saddam?
Senator John Kerry, a Democrat from Massachusetts, noted the "disconnect" between the threat and what the administration proposed to do. A Vietnam veteran, Kerry suggested that he would be ready to support even a ground war to eliminate Saddam. Advised that he was "way ahead" of dominant opinion in Washington, Kerry responded. "I believe in this."
(talking about the Clinton administration btw.)
