On the excuse that Kerry really hated the Iraq invasion because he wanted diplomacy

85. I know what he said, but you seem to want to ignore parts of his statement and

the rest of his comments on the invasion.

"I don't care what 'else' he said a few weeks after the bombs came raining down (which he said "I support&quot , or what you can cherry pick from common dreams."

I pointed to the context of his comment from the link you provided. It was Kerry's statement after Bush decided to invade. t begins.

I find myself genuinely angered, saddened and dismayed by the situation in which this nation finds itself tonight. As the world's sole superpower in an increasingly hostile and dangerous world, our government's obligation to protect the security of the United States and the law abiding nations of the world could not be more clear, particularly in the aftermath of September 11th.

Yet the Administration's handling of the run up to war with Iraq could not possibly have been more inept or self-defeating. President Bush has clumsily and arrogantly squandered the post 9/11 support and goodwill of the entire civilized world in a manner that will make the jobs ahead of us - both the military defeat and the rebuilding of Iraq - decidedly more expensive in every sense of that word.

The Administration's indifference to diplomacy and the manner in which it has treated friend and foe alike over the past several months have left this country with vastly reduced influence throughout the world, made impossible the assembly of a broad, multinational effort against Saddam Hussein, and dramatically increased the costs of fulfilling our legitimate security obligations at home and around the world.
