Reply #30: Leahy and Byrd weren't duped. Read Leahy's speech below before the vote

Reading the history Kerry was reluctant but then went along with it. It was a mistake an now he is having to deal with a press who only sees that bill as a Congressional War Resoution rather than what it was - a hope that the President would act responsibly. For that I blame Kerry and Edwards. There is nothing this man has ever done that was responsible and they got suckered into it. they need to fess up and say we were duped and we apologize to the american people for that vote. Bush will never apolgize so they take the moral highground. Kerry is looking stubborn on it and I know why, but it is never goingto play in the press, because they don't want to let it play. Lesley Stahl cut him off with her narratiion while he was trying to explain the vote. He got duped. Simple as that.

But read Leahey's response. Damn, he's a good Senator. Anyone that can get to Cheney scores points in my book, but this speech before the Iraq vote is like looking at the future.
