Reply #43: Kerry said exactly that

[Laurab]

a couple of days ago in a speech to Georgetown University, I believe. I will try to post a link, but have never done so, so don't know if it will work. Here is the operative paragraph - if Tim Russert can read, perhaps he has seen it:

"The country and the Congress were misled into war. I regret that we were not given the truth; as I said more than a year ago, knowing what we know now, I would not have gone to war in Iraq. And knowing now the full measure of the Bush Administration’s duplicity and incompetence, I doubt there are many members of Congress who would give them the authority they abused so badly. I know I would not."

Link if it works:
