Kerry COVERS UP Iraq War Falsifications

[karynnj]

72. If you are referring to the OP - I agree

To give an idea of how untrue this is - he speaks of a resolution that Kerry co-sponsored after the invasion. What he doesn't say is that 98 Senators co-sponsored Frist's resolution which was essentially in support of the troops. (Byrd is the only one not on it - but I would bet that might have been because he was not available to sign )

In addition Kerry did speak out against the war before it started and spent most of 2003 and 2004 speaking of Bush misleading us into war. Doesn't sound like supporting Bush at all. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3358606&mesg_id=3358606

It was fair of Dean to use Kerry's vote, he cast it. However for the first half of 2003, the two people the media called "anti-war" were Kerry and Dean - when both did things like calling for Rumsfeld tor resign over Abu Graib.

Another lie in here is that he says that JK would have voted for it even if there were no WMD because Saddam could build them - this in fact is Edwards position in 2003 - however the link is the Grand Canyon comment where Kerry gave his usual answer and the media claimed it was to Bush's rhetorical question - but the answer included allowing the inspectors to finish - here is the 2004 Daily Howler account of what really was a media smear - and beyond that it does not say what the op says it does. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php/depts.washington.edu/sswweb/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=273x167621

Kerry has to live with that vote -- which he long ago said he regrets. What is despicable is that this op - written out of hate - distorts the record to a point where it is not recognizable to anyone who ever bothered to listen to Kerry.
