any new waffles on KERRY you ask??? Kerry's War John McCaslin July 24, 2003 Suffice it to say that presidential hopeful John Kerry (D-Mass.) has made "Iraqgate" the theme of his campaign. On virtually every stump he's stood on this week, Kerry has complained that President Bush sidestepped the congressionally approved path to war by bypassing the United Nations, by not building an international coalition, and simply by not doing what it was that he had promised to do (actually, one could argue that the senator is wrong on all three counts). Forget that Kerry voted in favor of the Iraq war resolution. He did so, he now says, with the understanding that Bush would exhaust every remedy first. What was the big hurry, in other words. But let's revisit Nov. 17, 1997, when nobody else in Washington except this column led with an item headlined, "Finish the mission." "Debate on whether to take out Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi strongman, is over as far as one Democratic senator is concerned," or so we had written. "Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is calling for a 'strong' military attack in response to the Iraqi leader's 'horrific objective of amassing a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.'" Weapons of mass destruction? That's what Kerry called them. "As the senator points out, military might is the only language Saddam knows - and fears. 'Saddam Hussein should pay a grave price, in a currency that he understands and values, for his unacceptable behavior,' says Kerry. 'This should not be a strike consisting only of a handful of cruise missiles hitting isolated targets primarily of presumed symbolic value. But how long this military action might continue and how it may escalate ... and how extensive it would reach are for the (White House National) Security Council and our allies to know and for Saddam Hussein to find out!'" Just as you wished, Senator. townhall.com LOL
