<<Kerry voted against the funding because Bush did not keep his word to Kerry to get the UN and a broad coalition of nations involved with us.>> Many who voted against action had a financial agenda - thats well known. Kerry also needed no such coalition in 1998 to enforce the UN resolution so why was it so important now? Voting against funding after the troops are there is beyond a protest vote - its wrong. <<Bush saying he was against nation building, and then embarking this nation on one of the largest nation building efforts in history does not make sense.>> As discussed earlier....9/11 changed that landscape. <<Clearly we cannot say that we are safer from a terrorist attack>> Maybe not yet although I think we may have made certain adjustments that could prove that wrong. It's just too soon to say if we're safer or not as safe.
