133. He supported Biden/Lugar but voted for the alternative...

And, at the same time he criticized Gep for "failing" to support Biden-Lugar? I just WISH he would have followed his original instincts. I think his desire to seek higher public office, got in the way of his better judgement here?

Here is one quote from your link:



I respect that position. And frankly, I dont fault him for the past as much as I do the present.

I would at the very least, like JK to express disgust at being LIED to. Ted Kennedy does this well. I would like John to go out on a limb and say, I believe I was lied to and I'm angry as hell about that! I'd like him to mention the cost of those lies. The human cost, the financial cost etc...

I understand JK doesn't feel he gave the President authority to go to war. It seems he feels he provided Bush with a "conditional" agreement, and he feels that Bush broke the conditions of that agreement.

I also understand that he is running for President, and speaking loudly against the war, may not be the smartest political move - considering anythings possible at this point. But I can't help but expect John Kerry to be at least as angry as I am. There are more than 500 dead Americans and several innocent civilians as well. For what? Why isn't John Kerry, *who fought in Vietnam* angry as hell?!

Sorry to be so harsh, but I feel I need MORE ...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. As I said, the guy has my vote already, but I would really like to reconcile this. I am an open minded person, and would like to hear him out on this issue. But, I dont hear him saying much of consequence.
