102. And just how dumb did it sound when Kerry...
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 07:16 AM by Q
...said 'wrong war' and then went about describing how HE would fight it better? He was trying to out-bush Bush* in his war rhetoric. He voted for it but he really didn't mean it. The kicker was when he said he would do exactly the same thing all over again knowing that the war was a lie. It seems both Bush* and Kerry have a hard time admitting mistakes.

The issue isn't whether Kerry supported Bush's* 'version' of the war...but that he supported ANY version after knowing all the facts.

As to what 'we' should do about Iraq right now: Our side has to admit it was a mistake and move to correct that mistake in the best way possible. After the 'mistake' is finally acknowledged...our party should work day and night to pressure the GOPers into agreeing to a withdrawal date for the troops.

We could turn this whole thing around and use it against the Bushies...who would seem like obstructionists if they didn't agree to have a dialogue about withdrawing troops.

As it stands right now...more and more Americans are against the Iraq occupation. We can be seen as the party that gets the troops out of the quagmire...or the party that works with Bush* to get more Americans and Iraqis killed.
