John Kerry and Iraq War There are 9 Democrats currently running in the primaries for the President of United States (Elections in 2004, Results in 2005, if Florida is still voting). Out of the nine many will drop out after the primaries. One of the top runners is John Kerry. He voted for the war against Iraq. On being asked if he had problem supporting the President, he said “I have no question about the decision I made,” he said. “Even Hans Blix said they weren’t in compliance.” So he did not make his decision on those 16 words the President said. Nice to know. Update: And what did Bill Clinton say about Saddam in 1998 Hussein would “go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he’ll use the arsenal.”

"John Kerry often used Bush's own phrases when describing the threat he claimed Iraq posed to the U.S. and Iraqi neighbors. He recited the litany of how many times Saddam Hussein had "miscalculated the U.S." (where have you heard that before?). He said we were going to "drain the swamp where the terrorists are hiding". Sound familiar? He said several times that the UNSCOM weapons inspectors were " summarily kicked out of Iraq".
