<<Two years ago Kerry said Iraq had WMD....now he's changed his mind. Why? More time to collect info....the sad fact is the more data he got the more incorrect he became >> I would say that is a step above one who hasn't changed his mind even in the face of "the more data he got the more incorrect he became". Whether the number is 47k or 57k, it's still enough to effect the end result of the election, which it did, and which is the point.

Dont lie about Kerry. Two years ago Kerry clearly said that because it is LIKELY Saddam had WMD's he needed to be DISARMED. Yet Kerry never suggested Saddam was an imminent threat. Kerry like most of us was also a bit hoodwinked by the Bush administration's faulty intelligence claims. In short, the Bushies lied and we gave them the benefit of the doubt, at first. We were in the process of disarming Saddam in 2002 (Blix found more than Kay did, but all old virtually useless stuff) when Bush ordered the UN inspectors out and invaded as a matter of "national defense", scaring the American People with talk of "mushroom clouds". This despite zero evidence Saddam had nukes or was anywher near getting them. Furthermore in 2001 Condi Rice is on film saying Saddam no longer posed a great threat to us. As Powell warned Bush, "if you break it you own it". So now we own it. Thanks a lot GW. If GW had followed Kerry's sage advice we'd be much better off now.
