Biggest flop
From tonight’s debate (1st Debate):
John Kerry: “He also said Saddam Hussein would have been stronger. That is just factually incorrect. Two-thirds of the country was a no-fly zone when we started this war. We would have had sanctions. We would have had the U.N. inspectors. Saddam Hussein would have been continually weakening.”
From Jan. 2004:
John Kerry: “This is a man who has used weapons of mass destruction, unlike other people on this Earth today, not only against other people but against his own people. This is a man who tried to assassinate a former president of the United States, a man who lobbed 36 missiles into Israel in order to destabilize the Middle East, a man who is so capable of miscalculation that he even brought this war on himself. This is a man who, if he was left uncaptured, would have continued to be able to organize the Ba'athists. He would have continued to terrorize the people, just in their minds, because of 30 years of terror in Iraq." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 1/11/04)
From tonight’s debate:
John Kerry: “And certainty sometimes can get you in trouble.”
Another falsehood..The push was on to lift sanctions on Iraq...by countries who wanted to do business openly with Iraq instead of bypassing sanctions as they were doing.
Great stuff!
