Fillmore,re:"Kerry would probably also have invaded Iraq". Probably not under 'WMD banner' and not rushed into it. BabyBush was 'tricked' into it. Remember those "gentelmen" quited (hiding behind the curtain) as soon as the war started. One thing is certain about BabyBush: He is not qualified for the job, period, simply a fact. That being said, does not mean he won't be re-selected again. This country is full of marketing genius and the country can be fooled again, God forbidden. The 'vote' should be simple: disregard all the infomercials. Don't make mistake twice to take someone 'non-qualified'. You have to be dumb (real dumb) if someone show you how 'un-qualify' one is and you still want 4 more years of it. Then again, we tend to buy stuff we don't need, want by following those marketing genius. Unfortaunately, they are toying with the future of a country. Hey, profit is profit, sell out the country, what the hack.

Kerry did not say that. He said he would have authorized the President to have the power to go through the steps outlined in the resolution. IMO, his position would have been much clearer if he had said: 'The OFFICE of the President should be given the power to use military strength as a last resort. George Bush forgot the word 'last' and then he forgot how to competently manage war.' IMO Kerry's position on many subjects is difficult to put into a sound bite and that is the Dems current problem. Amazing, considering that the problems confronting the Presidency are so simple (ROTFLMAO). If, however, someone bothers to take the time to actually look into things, Kerry comes out looking like a very serious, very thoughtful, mature man who can do nuance and complexity. This is what we need in a President and this is not Bush by any stretch of the imagination (even Karl Rove's who hopes people do not get a good education so that they will end up being Republicans). The idiocy of the SwiftBoatWhiners has also brought to light the details of Kerry's courage in Vietnam as well as the passion he then brought to the antiwar movement. I hope there is enough time and media attention to go through ALL of the available information on both men and compare them honestly. There will be NO CONTEST. Bush is a dilettante and a belligerent one at that.

FH, If Iraq was the only subject of interest, you would have a good point. But we have to remember that Bush has been the worst Prez ever on the environment, is the first since Hoover to have negative job creation during his term, was a dud on national security, allowing the first major attack ever on US soil (or at least since The War of 1812), is trying to undermine the Bill of Rights, has gone nuts on borrow and spend, and is a national embarrassment as a speaker (not that Kerry is any great shakes in this regard, either). In most of those areas, Kerry is much superior to Dubya.
