Kerry has admitted he was wrong about a few votes back in the early 80's. However, there is no case where Kerry was clearly in error IMHO except maybe the Gulf War vote. In retrospect he was too much of a dove during the Reagan-Bush years, though perhaps there were elements of those bills he objected to. For instance, look at the current Bush bills. All chockful of pork, but hard to vote against becuse there are some needed elements there too. On Iraq, Kerry turned out to be 100% right. Saddam was a menace but not an imminent threat. Kerry was promised the inspections would be allowed to take their course, a broad coalition would be built and a post-war plan would be in place before invasion as a last resort. Back in 1999, Kerry also warned CLinton and Bush that the real threat to the US was not rogue nations but small terror cells striking within our borders. Kerry was right-on thee as well. One thing we also need is to mend our foreign alliances fast. Russia was miffed by Bush and went ahead with a new nuclear program, missiles capable of skirting our defenses. The last thing we need is a enw arms race with someone who's supposed to be our friend. or any arms race at all.
