Read all of what he said there and then read what he said when he voted for the resolution.

This war never had a chance in hell of success. the evidence of sadaam's wmd was laughable, but of course those who voted for the war really never cared about the evidence, they just knew there are always more votes in supporting war than in opposing it.

Where you there when intelligence agency after intelligence agency presented bush's (what we later found out to be) doctored evidence to the Senators?

There was no support for the war at the time of the IWR. bush followed the polls and that's why he went to the UN instead of attacking ASAP. The polls at the time said that the American people would not support unilateral invasion, they would only support going through the UN. In fact, many republicans did not support unilateral action, including some of bush I's people. They also supported going back to the UN. Remember?

The present guerilla war and very likely civil war were entirely predictable and in fact *were* predicted, but kerry would not listen

He wouldn't listen? Read what he said at the time of the IWR vote some five months earlier. Kerry's always talked about doing the thing right. That doesn't mean getting permission from the UN, it means following the process the world created to address such situations from a to z.

Shoot Dick Cheney was "predicting" that when he was justifying why bush's daddy didn't finish Saddam off in Gulf I

not a single wmd has been found, secured, or destroyed. there was no alqaeda link. america now has far more enemies than it did on sept.10 and we are by no means safer.

Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it? I was as anti-war as the next person but on March 18, 2003 I was not 100% absolutely sure Saddam didn't have something (I never believed the al qaeda link). How 'bout you... 100% absolutely sure, be honest.
