LOL. Nice slanted opinion of factual data. IS this a "documentary" like Michael Moores F 9/11?

"Voted for Gulf War II".. No, thats an inaccurate read. He voted to grant the president of the united states the authority to use the military after exhausting all the other options.
What happened was Bush left the table when all the classic allies in the UN wanted was 4 more weeks to let the inspections complete. That was against the Bush plan for Iraq though.
Wel all know that Rice lied about the aluminum tubes now, we all know there are no nukes in Iraq, no WMD at all in fact. Bush knew he couldnt let the inspectors complete the job when he knew they would find nothing.

It was easier to trash our allies and dump out french wine and rename french fries. The 50 IQ Springer crowd eats that kind of "logic" up with a spoon.

Get a clue. Please.

Really?
Were you there?
Thats what he said and did huh?
Interesting.....

Kerry said on several occasions that after seeing the intel "same information Bush had seen" That he backed the president to remove Saddam from power. He also said that Saddam was a grave threat, and that we needed to remove him from power using any means necessary. Never did he close those statements with the clause"only after exhausting all other options."

Im sure you can find the video or sound bites on the internet somewhere.

Look for a clue yourself while you are out there looking for the sound bytes.

When did Bush kill any soldiers?

Do you mean because he is president and we went to war and soldiers were killed, is why you say he killed them?

hmmmmm

Kerry said he would have done the same thing and invaded iraq too, but would have done it differently.

So couldn't we blame the killings on kerry as well? Or at least see that he would have "killed" those soldiers also?

Fucking Moron!

Think before you speak.
If you get your nuts off busting Bush, at least make sure it doesn't make you look like a hypocrite.

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.

Interesting list.

However.... I'm pretty sure you can look at anyone's voting record and find what look like poor choices on the outside. We, however, as pornographers fail to understand the basics of politics - I'm sure that everything Kerry ever voted on (and Bush as well) had dozens of other things tacked on to them.

That's how it works in Washington DC - They put a bill up to vote about assult weapons. But at the bottom of this bill, perhaps soon to be a law, is a dozen or so minor things. Perhaps they passed a law on assult weapons that day, but what else got passed along with that bill?

And this is why seemingly easy decisions become difficult.

Hell, I wouldn't want to be in DC.....

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.)
