I Am Thrilled!!! Kerry Gives DU Exactly What We Asked For!!!

[DrFunkenstein]

NEW YORK - Staking out new ground on Iraq, Sen. John Kerry said Monday he would not have overthrown Saddam Hussein had he been in the White House, and he accused President Bush of "stubborn incompetence," dishonesty and colossal failures of judgment. Bush said Kerry was flip-flopping.

"Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell," he added. "But that was not, in itself, a reason to go to war. The satisfaction we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure."

Kerry said in August that he would have voted in 2002 to give Bush war-making ability, even had he known no weapons of mass destruction would be found. He stood by the vote again Monday, saying the president needed to use the threat of force to "act effectively" against Saddam.

He made a distinction between that vote to grant a president war-making authority and what he himself would have done as commander in chief with such power.

"Yet today, President Bush tells us that he would do everything all over again, the same way. How can he possibly be serious?" Bush's presidential rival said at New York University.

"Is he really saying to Americans that if we had known there were no imminent threat, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to al-Qaida, the United States should have invaded Iraq? My answer is resoundingly no because a commander in chief's first responsibility is to make a wise and responsible decision to keep America safe."

1. I was just going to post this I LOVE IT

Rhandi just played the audio clip of Kerry saying that he would not invade Iraq after explaining what his vote meant.

Okay are all happy now? PLEASE let us all be happy and stop bitching about Kerry has to be clear about this? He said clear as day what his position was, now it's a matter of the media playing this over and over again which of course we know they will :eyes:

7. I Started With A "Quit Yer Bitchin'" Title...

But this is PRECISELY what I wanted Kerry to come out to say, so I went with that. Now we need him to hold steady and repeat it ad infinitum - shove it down the media's throat until they have to accept it.

6. Sounds good to hear someone blast the terrible truth to the chagrin

of people who have made collosal blunders in our name. May they go down in flames.... may they end up in prison.... anything less would be unacceptable.

Imagine how many people are going to be fired after November 2nd. I say they should start shredding now.

5. Well, the 312th hair from the left on his hairline

Was sort of sticking up, so naturally the whole speech should be ashcanned until Kerry can get his hair to behave properly. I mean, if Kerry can't manage that 312th hair, how can he possibly manage the country?

Why couldn't we have gotten Al Sharpton for our nominee? Now THERE's a man in control of his hair!

...

That about cover all the doom-sayer reaction?
