"We need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War."

-- John Kerry, Jan 23, 2003

<<But first gather the family of nations, of the UN and the moderate Arab nations, and use the diplomatic tools at our disposal.>>

We had that in 1991 yet he didn't support action then and that was AFTER Iraq invaded Kuwait.

Yet in 1998 he supported going into Iraq to enforce the UN resolutions even if that meant going it alone.

The only thing "crossed up" is Kerry's position on the issue.
