"You think that sanctions were the right way to deal with Saddam in 1990?"

No I didn't. But that was what Bush Sr. used to build support. And if sanctions are chosen, you just can't say "they aren't working, let's roll the tanks" after a couple of weeks. That isn't even enough time to try to negotiate a withdrawal.

Kerry knows that. That is why he voted against use of force at that time. Trying to paint that vote as being weak and unfit is, at best, a distortion. Not that Cheney was above doing that during his speech...

If the U.S. had left Saddam in Kuwait there would be a lot less terrorism directed out way. Osama would be grumbling about his new neighbor. We'd still be buying oil at cut rate.
