John Kerry was apparently on Good Morning America and The Note snippets this baffling exchange:
DIANE SAWYER: Was the war in Iraq worth it?
JOHN KERRY: We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know today.
DS: So it was not worth it.
JK: We should not — it depends on the outcome ultimately — and that depends on the leadership. And we need better leadership to get the job done successfully, but I would not have gone to war knowing that there was no imminent threat — there were no weapons of mass destruction — there was no connection of Al Qaeda — to Saddam Hussein! The president misled the American people — plain and simple. Bottom line.
DS: So if it turns out okay, it was worth it?
JK: No.
DS: But right now it wasn't?p>
JK: It was a mistake to do what he did, but we have to succeed now that we've done what he's — I mean look — we have to succeed. But was it worth — as you asked the question — $200 billion and taking the focus off of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda? That's the question. The test of the presidency was whether or not you should have gone to war to get rid of him. I think, had the inspectors continued, had we done other things — there were plenty of ways to keep the pressure on Saddam Hussein.
DS: But no way to get rid of him.
JK: Oh, sure there were. Oh, yes there were. Absolutely.
DS: So you're saying that today, even if Saddam Hussein were in power today it would be a better thing — you would prefer that . . .
JK: No, I would not prefer that. And Diane — don't twist here. Notice how Kerry loses his cool and accuses the questioner of twisting; Is this guy thin-skinned or what?
In tomorrow's debate, Kerry will benefit from lowered expectations because his image among voters is something of a caricature right now. But he still has to do better than he did on GMA. You can bet President Bush has a list of zingers that he will deploy if Kerry gives him an opening.

link = "link" ;)
This happened on Good Morning America? I think I have the vapors.
The Saudi INTELLIGENCE MINISTER had advance knowledge of 9-11, and Abu Zubaidah had his phone number memorized.
The head of the ISI gave money to Atta and had advance knowledge of 9-11.
I don't really care if they are speaking with one voice or not, if those in a position of power are helping the jihadis.
Now, since you made the charge, you want to state what I posted that was "deceptive."
If you so casually say "Peach is right," with the repeated errors in her standard litany, I can only conclude that it is you who doesn't know what they are talking about.
If Mylroie is such a flake, why did the 9-11 Commission have her testify?
You need to provide links. And for every link you provide, I have several more from administrative officials who have said they think Saddam was behind the first WTC attack and the second one for that matter.
Now, luggie, I've asked nicely. You've been asked not to post to me. I don't post to you unless you post to me, as requested. So please just stop stalking me from thread to thread. It's really not the thing to do.
Second, are you seriously contending that the fact that someone was called to testify before the commission lends credibility to their statements? If so, you should take a look at what Dick Clarke has to say about these allegations. I think you'll recall that he testified before the commission, too.
Yeah, you did.
Exactly.
Most according to whom, BTW?
Still haven't come up with an answer about your little sleight of hand with the "iraqi national"/ "iraqi intelligence" bit? Jeez, do people really fall for that stuff?
Careful. He'll start stalking you from thread to thread the way he does me. Uggg
LOL. Nice reference. "Being There' is a cult classic.
It's what the left does best.
When they don't like the evidence, they attack the person giving it.
And then if that doesn't work they say "but it's the seriousness of the charge."
We just heard that recently with CBS when Rather said that the docs were false but he still believes in what they say.
It was a stunning moment.
Oh, come on. You and Peach want everyone to believe that this is a widely accepted theory that is only addressed in print when Mylroie or Woolsey write about it. Everyone agrees with it, but no one repeats it or expands on it or does any leg work to verify it. Yeah, that's credible.
The pity is, even with hindsight, he can't find his way.

You really can't read, can you. There's a link posted previously by me that Jordan Intelligence stands by their report that Shakir is an Iraqi intelligence officer.
Stalker, stalker, stalker.
Who's most?
Speaking of helpful husbands, my daughter has an obligation on Tuesdays and gets out at 6pm our time which is debate start here. Well! When I realized next Tuesday I might miss a good half hour of the one and only Cheney/Edwards debate (picking up at 6pm then means driving home, etc etc) I asked by husband if I take her can he pick her up. He said YES. WHEW (Love him)
