"The lesson here is not that some of us were right about Iraq or that some of us were wrong."
Attention John Kerry- YOU VOTED FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ!
Waste of bandwidth!
I think that people who use the verb "embrace" in this way are not very smart and don't use the English language very well. What is its meaning in this context? It does not convey anything specific. Kerry just wants us to think it means he's smart. To me, it says the opposite.
"I was against writing this article before I was for it."
The above is the only solution that Kerry provides in his Bush-hater rant. Basically the same cut-n-run nonsense.
Kerry needs to come to terms that the people of America REJECTED him in 2004!

May God damn him...
I sincerely wish that some other non-political sugar momma would catch his eye...he would dump Teresa...move to BFE and live happily ever after..wind sailing, skiing..... wiling away the hours in some harmless activity...and
LEAVE US ALONE!
NOTE to all who think they "LIKE" F'NK:
If Kerry goes away, nobody will miss him.....and I mean no b-o-d-eeeee will even regognize that he has left the building.
Pathetic.
His entire article is based on the idea that we need to be firm with the government of Iraq, and hold their feet to the fire-- by hanging "redeployment" of our troops over their heads.
This entirely misses the context of the problem: It's not the emerging government of Iraq that is the holdup for peace; it's the Islamists pouring in to destabilize the region with backing by Syria and Iran that is the problem.
Iran and Syria are counting the days until we leave the area. No amount of "conversation" with Syria is going to change their underlying goal of reshaping Iraq into an Islamic totalitarian state.
...and by the way, John: Reagan was able to deal with Russia, and Nixon was able to deal with China because they laid the groundwork first through their tough stance on them. You are not Reagan, and you are not Nixon. The only people you have ever taken a tough stance on are your fellow servicemen, and anyone who has ever served their country.
Now shut up and leave the serious stuff to the grown-ups.
The war in Iraq was just and good....but how it is currently being prosecuted is PC and stupid. Lets face it we won the war and are in danger of losing the occupation.
We should have carpet bombed, ala WWII. We should have made the people of this rogue nation never want to fight a war again, like we did to the Japanese, and to the Germans. Surgical strikes DON'T WIN WARS.
As much as I despise John Kerry and would never have voted for him.....I feel the current administration has put to much stock into Democracy for these middle eastern peasants and peons. They are neither interested nor are they capable of appreciating Democracy.
I thought this lieing puke was going to sign the form to release ALL his military records.
I'm not going to read this.
"I flopped before I flipped."
".....this is no time for politics."
Alrighty, then.
OMG ... this isn't scrappleface, it really is JonCarry doing a self-parody.
If idiots liberals had been patriotic and backed this war, it would have been over with.
Quoth the French Poodle:
Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap!
