72. You tell me. He seems to be contradicting himself, doesn't he?
First he votes to give Bush authority to go to war (oh, right, as a last resort) because Iraq has these WMD that we're just so freaked out about (we were all shaking in our boots). Obviously Bush needed the authority to invade a country that had done absolutely nothing to us.

So then we get the weapons inspectors in there for a few months, and they don't find any of these things that we know he has. Seems like Saddam isn't cooperating, doesn't it? After all, we KNOW he has this stuff, and he's a threat to us. What else was left for us to do but invade? He wouldn't give up the weapons that he didn't have.

Now Kerry is saying that Bush SHOULDN'T have invaded? Why not? We had to protect ourselves. Like I said before, by Kerry's own reasoning Bush did the right thing.

Keep in mind I'm not even using the "Kerry knew what Bush was doing" argument to its full effectiveness. I'm just playing Kerry's game, here.

Never compromise your integrity, because this is what happens. You get nailed from both sides.
