Reply #77: I suppose that's where you and I differ.

I did not see Bush as capable of war. Sleaziness sure, but not what has happened.

I don't agree that Kerry voted for it for campaigning reasons. I guess I have a little more faith in him, too. I read his speech at the time, and he had some good reasons that had nothing to do with Bush. It's been very consistent with his personal stances against Saddam Hussein since the mid 90's, and I think he's generally correct. Kerry has tended to be hawkish with Iraq.

Kerry is always going to be a Massachusetts liberal. I'm not sure that all the maneuvering in the world would change that, because he just can't run fast enough from it.
