Reply #68: I have my theory too.

[Old and In the Way]

It has everything to do with the politics being played by this administration in September of 2002, in advance of the mid-terms. I think, no I believe, the Democrats were being set up on this vote. It's all hypothetical, but I wonder if the Democrats had all voted against the IWR, if there mught have been another US attack? This administration declares martial law, fingers Iraq, and away we go. Of course, Corporate media would have help denounce the Democrats as the Party of Terrorist Appeasers"....and we'd be sitting out this election, totally nuetralizd.

Would Kerry admit to that? No. But, I believe it. Of course, I also believe that 9/11 was LIHOP'd, so why would a complete takeover of our government be a stretch for this junta? 9/11 was not yet investigated, the Anthrax perps not apprehended, Wellstone dies mysteriously. Why else would Kerry, who voted against the 1st war come out for this one? Why would Kerry, who was so damn eloquent in his Congressional testimony against US policy in VietNam, suddenly vote for this war? I think he did the political calculus and gave Bush the vote (and the rope) to hang himself.
