Reply #6: It is an absolutist position

[TayTay]

I was angry when Kerry voted to give the authority, but I understand his reasons. But the truth is still the truth and John Kerry did not authorize the invasion of Iraq, he didn't screw up the planning, assign too few troops to the operation, allow the local populace to loot vital infrastructure and he didn't fire the Baathists and allow the country to degenerate into anarchy.

* did that. And all the carping about that Senate vote can't change the fact that this is *'s war, not John Kerry's. The arguments that say it is are foolish and short-sighted.
