Right, why should Kerry apologize for the attack machine, when his soft money attack machine is doing the same thing? I thought it was hypocritical. It is just a strategy to see how much one party can get away with it, while saying daily that the other side is doing something they are not (but are)... Good strategy, but boy is this going to be a long campaign... He said he is not going to apologize for the "attack machine" of the Republican party.

You should pay closer attention: From an interview with Time Mag: TIME: Would you say your position on Iraq is a) it was a mistaken war; b) it was a necessary war fought in a bad way; or c) fill in the blank? KERRY: I think George Bush rushed to war without exhausting the remedies available to him, without exhausting the diplomacy necessary to put the U.S. in the strongest position possible, without pulling together the logistics and the plan to shore up Iraq immediately and effectively. TIME: And you as Commander in Chief would not have made these mistakes but would have gone to war? KERRY: I didn't say that. TIME: I'm asking. KERRY: I can't tell you. ... TIME: Obviously it's good that Saddam is out of power. Was bringing him down worth the cost? KERRY: If there are no weapons of mass destruction— and we may yet find some—then this is a war that was fought on false pretenses, because that was the justification to the American people, to the Congress, to the world, and that was clearly the frame of my vote of consent. I said it as clearly as you can in my speech. I suggested that all the evils of Saddam Hussein alone were not a cause to go to war. TIME: So, if we don't find WMD, the war wasn't worth the costs? That's a yes? KERRY: No, I think you can still—wait, no. You can't—that's not a fair question, and I'll tell you why. You can wind up successful in transforming Iraq and changing the dynamics, and that may make it worth it, but that doesn't mean was the cause [that provided the] legitimacy to go. You have to have that distinction. time.com Beware Flannel-Mouth Disease! No one has it worse than Kerry, but don't expect Edwards to offer a cure By Joe Kline, Time Magazine ... …Kerry offered not one but two gaseous responses to a simple question: Given your support for the Iraq-war resolution, "do you feel any degree of responsibility for the war and its costs and its casualties?" A small taste of Kerry's response: "The President had the authority to do what he was going to do without the vote of the United States Congress ... That's why we have a War Powers Act. What we did was vote with one voice of the United States Congress for a process ..." And on and on. "That's the longest answer I ever heard to a yes-or-no question," Edwards said. time.com And remember, the brave John effin Kerry threw somebody else’s medals over the fence at the Whitehouse, not his own. Or so he says. Again, you demonstrate that you are grossly uninformed.
