21. YOU MUST DO MORE THAN just APOLOGIZE 3 YEARS AFTER THE FACT
Edited on Fri May-25-07 02:28 PM by FrenchieCat
FOR a MISTAKE to become President, IMO. :eyes:

John Edwards is and has been an extremists when it comes to this war on both ends....

he was not only "for" it when it was political expedient back in 2002.....he was "for it" so much to the extreme that he co-sponsored the blank check and wrote op-ed (making Bush proud) in support all the while sitting on the intelligence committee (meaning he had access to intelligence that contradicted itself). Even after the WMD had not been found, an entire year after his vote, he still supported the war, and articulated that he had NOT been misled on television both on MTP and Hardball.

than, in late in 2005 (three full years after his initial strong and vocal support), once the country turned against this war in the majority, and he had been part of a losing team in an election, he flipped.....and issued a Mea Culpa stating that he had been misled......

So now that it is politically expedient and popular to be against the same war 5 years later, so he is.....again to the extreme but totally diametrically opposite to where he once was....preaching from the sidelines(as he has nothing to lose and no votes to make) as though he was never complicit in how we got to were we are to begin with.
