Reply #48: Now, now, don't get carried away

Saying NP's been "kissing GOP butt" is rather extreme and rudely phrased. You diminish your argument when you use that kind of language. (Yes, I know I sound like a schoolmarm.)

I think I agree with your point about WMD's though. In Kerry's case, his Iraq position during the campaign was almost incoherent, at least to me. He had, however, been consistent in worrying about Iraq's intentions and Saddam's flouting of UN sanctions: In '98 he'd been vocal in expressing concern about Saddam throwing-out the UN weapons inspectors. I can't figure out why the pro-IWR Dems just don't say, "Saddam needed to be held acccountable to UN policy and we would've known he didn't have WMD's if he'd been fully cooperating with UN".
