Kerry was among the senators who voted to authorize Bush to use force against Iraq FULL STOP. /and has said he would still vote for authorization so that the president could put pressure on Saddam to allow more inspections for weapons.....He voted for the use of force NOT a THREAT to use it!
The police always say "if you draw your weapon you'd better be prepared to use it." Kerry's statement that he voted for the authorization only to threaten Saddam is just stupid.
