WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A top House Democrat called for a swift U.S. withdrawal from Iraq on Thursday amid a White House counteroffensive against allegations that the Bush administration misled the country over prewar intelligence. CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer spoke with Sen. John Kerry -- the Massachusetts Democrat who lost to President Bush in last year's election -- beginning by asking about the president recently quoting Kerry's prewar comments on Saddam Hussein. "I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat, and a grave threat, to our security," the president quoted Kerry saying, in part. BLITZER: You firmly believed that, going into the war -- that's why you voted for that resolution? KERRY: Providing he had those weapons, and providing -- which the president didn't quote, as he distorted again to America our position and the truth -- providing that he did the other things, which are: a follow-through on the inspections; not go unilaterally; build a legitimate coalition; plan carefully and go as a last resort. All of which the president said he would do; none of which he did do. The record is now clear. So I said in that very same speech, which the president did not quote, that if you proceeded too rapidly, if you didn't do the things I just described, you could make a volatile region more dangerous, you could attract more terrorists and you would make America less secure, not more. The president needs to stop being selective, and he needs to start to level with the American people. That speech on Friday, on Veterans Day -- a sacred day for veterans, which was a political-attack day for the president -- was not an honest speech.

How I would love to see someone, anyone, just deck Kerry! Just lay him out. Well, I can dream, can't I?
A happy place - with trees and flowers and chirping birds -
Remember Dr Demento?
"Not go unilaterally; build a legitimate coalition;"
Kerry and his French obsession. He can't get over it.
not to mention got a dishonorable discharge repaired by another dishonorable dem jimmuh cattah.
Yeah, cowering on the floor, begging for mercy whilst bawling your eyes out.
Is that special place "seared" in your memory?
Having Saddam still in power, threatening his neighbors, oeprating rape rooms, filling mass graves, running his "woodchipper" with screaming Shia and Kurds is not my idea of a better "place."
No thanks Senator John F'n Kerry. You lost. It is time for you to have a nice cup of STFU.
Apparently, Lurch is still keeping that plan of his a secret.
Here's the dangerous volatile region:
What are we waiting for? Can I walk up to the jerk and make a citizens arrest?
As I recall, the traitorous Senator made a hasty withdrawl from the Swift boats by awarding himself medals.
He is in no position to ask for a swift withdrawal from anywhere.
Yes. John Kerry "Has a Plan."
if wishes were horses, all men would ride.....
Had Kerry been elected we would have been targeted numerous times just as 9/11.
This from last night on CNN.....

Kerry: I'd have us in a 'different place'
He's exactly right and I believe him. This 'different place' is typically defined and referred to as "Hell".
