Tonto, I think you are not listening to what he says about his vote on Iraq. His vote on Iraq was to give the President full authority to "exhaust all means" to determine how to proceed with the terrorist threat and war on terrorism. There is a war of aggression and there is a war for defence. When your country gets attacked with the collapse of the WTC you want to go after the perpetrators of the crime against this country. So you would want to go to war "if necessary". So he took the right decision and it should silence all of his critics who say he would be soft on Defence. Off course he criticized the President for not "exhausting all means" and he accused him of rushing to war. Vietnam is a different story. It was a war of aggression. Not a war to defend the US against external attacks.

the fact that Bush can't even muster a solid lead in the polls vs Kerry at this point in time, after Bush spent the entire last 4 years essentially buying his re-election with pork from the treasury, is a telling sign. You saw the Kentucky interim congressional vote didn't you? THe republican lost in a landslide, even though - democrats haven't won an interim KY seat since 92 - Bush and Hastert campaigned hard for the republican candidate - the dem candidate who won, just LOST the governors race a few mos ago- usually people don't want to vote for a recent loser - polls said the race "would be close", it was actually a huge voter turnout and not close at all. Is this a canary in a coal mine? I think so.
