21. Quit providing excuses
If I new the intelligence was bad from reading the New York Times and the watching the BBC, John Kerry knew it was bad.

The point here is not whether the Democratic Party would've followed Kerry or not. In all probablity, they wouldn't have. That is my point. Kerry is a leader in the Democratic Party. The leaders of the Democratic Party decided to cut their political losses because of the 2002 election.

They voted for the resolution because they thought it would help them in the election.

There is line. Once you cross that line, you become complicit in the criminal act. The leaders of the Democratic Party crossed that line.

Kerry and Gephardt and Lieberman all crossed that line.

It did not help them in the election.

Not only was it a political miscalculation of unprecidented proportions, it demonstrated how far out of touch the Democratic Party is with reality, morality, their espoused fundamental ideals and their core constituency.

Kerry should resign now in shame for the murders he enabled.
