Precisely. Many people thought Kerry lost his nerve after he saw what was done to Gary Webb after exposing the CIA involvement in the distribution of Crack into the LA market. The guy you have now is not the fresh-faced idealist just back from 'Nam. Just a pale echo thereof. EXHIBIT ONE: His response to Swift-boating--effectively NOTHING! EXHIBIT TWO: His non response to Ohio and other vote fraud despite his earlier promises to the contrary. I am not interested in further exhibits. That's enough for me. Namaste! Jim

WHERE, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE...... is the in-office OPPOSITION POLITICIAN of national stature willing to stand up and tell things AS THEY ARE? It's a simple format: -- we were lied to by the Administration -- we were gullible and bought into their lies -- Now we see how things ARE and this is it.......... Al Gore does it. A few Black Caucus people do it. VERY few. Otherwise, gucking SILENCE! Is this Patriotism? Is this COURAGE? Is this even HONESTY? Waiting until somebody else takes down the bully and then jumping on, AIN'T IT! Namaste! Jim

Kerry could not have stopped Bush from invading no matter what he did. The best he could do was warn Bush that if he rushed in unprepared he would hold his feet over the fire. Which is exactly what Kerry did. Sadly, not quite enough people realized that Kerry was right. But now they do. Timing is everything. Kerry would whup Bush's butt now. And BTW. There was nothing wrong with making sure Saddam was disarmed. The real issue was the unilateral invasion and total lack of planning for the occupation. Incompetence and lies. Chalk it up to Bushie dirty tricks and deceptions. Which they have a habit of doing. I've been reading about how Reaganites made a secret deal with the Iranians not to release the hostages for Carter. Reaganites promised big arms deals. Iran was desperate for US spare parts then. Sure enough, once Reagan got in we had Iran-Contra and a lot more. If Carter had gotten the hostages released before the election he might have won. Oh yedah, and Bush Sr. was definitely in the loop on Iran-Contra. He was practically running things.
