Johnn Kerry Quotes -

Is it war for oil? No.

Is containment enough? No, because deterrence doesn't work in this case. "We need to disarm Saddam Hussein. … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation." (Speech, Jan. 23, 2003)

Will it disrupt war on terror? No, if we're careful; yes, if we aren't. "We need to make certain that we have not unnecessarily twisted so many arms, created so many reluctant partners, abused the trust of Congress, or strained so many relations, that the longer term and more immediate vital war on terror is made more difficult." (Speech, Jan. 23, 2003)

If U.N. balks, go it alone? Yes, if we're careful; no, if we aren't. "I would be willing to support the president providing [that] there is an imminent threat that has been shown and that the breach reaches the standard that we all agree on. I will not support the president to proceed unilaterally if it is simply the president's effort to try to do regime change without regard to the legitimacy of the inspection process or the legitimacy of the United Nations process." (Meet the Press, Dec. 1, 2002)

1991 Kuwait force authorization: Voted no but now says, "I was not against using force. I was against moving so precipitously that we didn't have the consent … of the American people." (Meet the Press, Dec. 1, 2002)

1998 Iraq Liberation Act: Passed Senate Oct. 7, 1998, by unanimous consent (no roll call).

2002 Iraq force authorization: Voted yes.

President Bush is the elected leader of the United States.

You are in the minority.

Those who support Pres G.W. Bush ARE the USA. You must deliberately ignore the recent poll results showing nearly 70% approval of Pres Bush's performance. Your user is definitely a misnomer since you are lacking in American spirit.
BTW, those who voted for Pres Bush in 2000 are from every corner of the nation; while Al Gore's support came from a very narrow cohort.

U R anti-American, ASS. This is the wrong time to be cutting down the current administration. There is a WAR going on! Can't you control your hatred for a little while? I'm getting concerned about you... SR

This is still America, not a dictatorship. I have the right to criticize the Bush Administration and I will exercise that right. There is much to criticize. They are hiding behind the war effort while their handling of the economy is terrible. I love America. That love does not extend to the Bush Administration.
