Reply #4: He may have to admit that the Desert Storm vote was a mistake.

It was, by the way. He thought it would be a quagmire, take years, heavy U.S. casualties, wrong on all points. But, as another poster already said, that's ancient history.

The GOP can't possibly hurt him on the IWR vote. What are they going to say, that voting for the IWR was wrong but invading Iraq was right? If they try to use it to defuse Kerry's criticism of the war ("How can you criticize the war when you voted for the IWR?"), they're going to get the same answer every time: BUSH LIED TO US. I don't see how that helps the GOP.
