Kerry always votes against what Bushies are trying to pull. For instance it took balls to hold up the 87 billion demanding accountability about where the money was going. Now 400 billion later we WISH we had accounting. That's 400 billion disappeared into a black hole. As for the Iraq War Powers vote, it was not a vote to go to war, it was a vote to give the president a real threat of force in order to fully inspect Iraq for WMD and hold Saddam accountable. To go to war only as a last resort. Bush at the time promised that he would go to the UN, then exhaust every option before going to war. But Bushies themselves sabotaged those diplomatic avenues with their arrogant pro Exxon/Halliburton stances. They also forced out the UN inspectors before they'd finished their jobs. Even knowing the Un inspectors had found nothing. Then Bushies rushed in with almost no post-invasion plan at all. Kerry was very upset about that. He said they should have taken another six months to plan. Kerry held Bush to his word. Of course, Bush broke it. And the intel Bush-Cheney were feeding the senate was not just faulty but intentionally deceptive. Kerry was the first major US leader to speak out against the way Bush went to war, and he did it right after the invasion. The rightwing attacked Kerry for "attacking the troops". They always try to confuse Bush with the troops, don't they?
