SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-MA): "Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror, and therefore any advance in Iraq is an advance forward in that and I disagree with the Governor [Howard Dean]." (Fox News Channel's "Special Report," 12/15/03)

I've addressed that question. It's my belief that Clinton--I'm really no fan of his--cowtowed to the GOPwinger viewpoint on the need to be tough on defense issues. Iraq was popularly perceived as a defense issue. Iraq became convenient for Clinton when he needed to bomb as a distraction for what the GOPwingers were otherwise putting him through. I think without the GOPwinger pressure that Clinton could have also helped our American farmers by opening up trade with Cuba. But that didn't happen either, largely due to GOPwinger pressure.
