Kerry’s claim that he opposed Bush’s invasion of Iraq

[Bluenorthwest]

3. Kerry and Hagel both voted YES on IWR which 23 Senator correctly voted NO on. 21 Democrats

One Republican, Chafee, and one Independent, Jeffers. The claim that voting YES to authorize war really meant 'NO' would surprise the Senators who actually voted NO.
Kerry is a stone cold liar, this is not a matter for spin, the article provides many arm waving quotes from Kerry and there are many more to post, he believed there were WMDS, that Saddam was a threat to our security, he said so clearly while voting Yes in the Iraq War Resolution.

"When I vote to give the President of the United States the authority to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, it is because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat, and a grave threat, to our security and that of our allies in the Persian Gulf region. I will vote yes because I believe it is the best way to hold Saddam Hussein accountable." —Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002
