Reply #112: Once again, Dean never claimed to be anti-war...

And Ted Kennedy never said 'there's no difference.'

Obviously both B/L and the 98 rez gave * the authority to go to war.

"He's talking about the two bills and saying that either bill would give the President authority to go ahead with war."

Ahhh, no kidding. But he's also talking about doing it unilaterally. It would appear Mr. Kennedy supported the Levin ammendment? Dean supported Biden/Lugar, and Kerry supported the blank check resolution.

Dean has said on several occasions he could/would support the IRW under certain conditions - Biden Lugar was in line with those conditions.

As painful as it is to realize that 'tying Bush's hands' would have done just that, the fact remains: The outcome would have been vastly different.

I must leave this fruitless and desperate attempt to protect John Kerry from himself. So...until next time...Happy Spinning! :hi:
