Like I said, quit smearing our war heros, especially with ridiculous, trivial charges. Kerry was a stellar war hero. Every single smearvet accusation against him has been proven to be baloney. All the people behind the smearvets were GOP operatives, not a single honest vet amongst them. It was a big dirty trick because Bush had no real issues to run on. The whole dirty trick idea of the smearvets came about because Kerry was a true blue combat hero and neither Bush nor any top rightwing leader has ever even seen a battlefield, much less fought on one. In fact, Bush is the only one with the Vietnam era scandals. He dodged the draft, went AWOL, lied about it, then covered it up. He also may have been arrested for cocaine at the time he was AWOL. That would explain why he refused the mandatory drug test.

So you support Arabs owning our ports? Why are you against the war against REAL terrorism? (Not Bush's mainly phony War On Terror about invading Iraq, smearing political opponents and grabbing oil deals). The United Arab Emirates is where the 9-11 hijackers hung out before they came to the US. Over in Dubai, supposedly a US ally, they all knew about 9-11 before it happened but never warned us. Or did they, and did Bush-CHeney just ignore the warning like they did on 8-6-01? If an Arab country owns our ports, they can send in whatever cargo they want. Most of it will get past customs and we have the nightmare scenario right there. Bush 100% supports selling out national and homeland defense for this shady deal.

Saddam was a paper tiger, no Hitler at all. Saddam didn't have an air force a navy or any WMD. The last item though had to be confirmed, The UN inspectors were in there doing a great job with full access, and Bush forced them to leave so he could invade. The collosal blunders and outright deceptions involved in Bush's rush to war are monumental and he does not deserve people like you putting out spin for him. In reality, the biggest danger to the US in 2002 was getting over-extended in a quagmire war against a country that never attacked us.

Kerry proposed finishing the UN inspections with a clear and real threat of force to back it up. In the event Saddam did anything deserving of attack, Kerry then would have had the world community behind him, but before invading, Kerry would have not only built a large coalition, but also made sure he had a smart post-invasion plan worked out. Bush simply rushed in. He had no post-invasion plan other than PR stunts to pat himself on the back. Truly, Bush-Cheney proved themselves to be short-sighted, tone deaf and incompetent. Kerry's method of handling Saddam would have saved the US a trillion dollars and some 2000 US lives. No comparison to Bush.
