I still say, somebody high up needs to read a laundry list of what the Democrats said in support of action against Saddam, and when they said them (right around x42's impeachment and right around the midterm election in 2002), and finish these JAMF's right then and there.
Johm Kerry talking to Tim Russert on NBC's "Meet The Press," (1/11/04)
"Saddam Hussein took us to war once before. In that war, young Americans were killed. He went to war in order to take over the oil fields. It wasn't just an invasion of Kuwait. He was heading for the oil fields of Saudi Arabia. And that would have had a profound effect on the security of the United States. 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."
Flip Flop, flip flop, flip flop.
That's the sounds Kerry makes as he walks. There are so many kerry flip flop quotes, I'd need a separate hard drive to store them all.

Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998
