36. The "He voted for the War" crowd prove that FP is over their head
Whenever I hear people utter the over simplistic "he voted for the war" garbage, I tell them the truth.

Kerry voted for the UN.

Not the war.

He voted for the UN to continue with their search for WMDs. If they ran into difficulties, then the UN was to put together a fully open multinational force and disarm Saddam and do that as a last resort.

Get it?

As a last resort.

Not a preemptive, unilateral strike for the wrong reasons and lies and without having an exit strategy or without the troops being properly armed.

I've explained this to people over the months and sometimes think that this is over their head or they are just being disingenuous.
