Nadine, a few questions I have on Iraq and would like to see what your views are. 1. Why is Bush taking on the Iraq problem on US' shoulders. Why is he not inviting the world community in like they have in Afghanistan. There is all this talk about not cutting and running. But I think the propagandists for Bush are making it look like the opponents of the war suggesting that. I would no surely not. Do you think Bush should start working towards building a coalition to rebuild Iraq? 2. Why is US building an embassy in Iraq with the massive dollars from US taxpayers. It is being termed as the largest and the most expensive embassy in the world since it is a fortress.

Kerry admitted his one mistake was believing a word Bush-Cheney said. Millions of Americans would concur with that. It's now proven per the testimony of ex-CIA operatives that the White House was told six months before the invasion that Saddam had little or no WMD's and no Al Qaida ties. This did not stop the White House and Pat Roberts from misleading the public and the senate itself. Remember, Kerry can only see the intel that comes through Pat Roberts, who was in cahoots with Cheney trying to deceive. Kerry did want Saddam disarmed, and the UN inspectors were doing a fine job of inspecting, but Bush kicked them out and didn't let them finish their jobs. Kerry was also always very clear that we must only invade as a very last resort and then only with smart thorough preparation and a much bigger coalition, plus UN support. Remember, Saddam never attacked us and had nothing to do with 9-11, so there was no imminent threat and no pressing reason to go in there, except that Bush-Cheney wanted to. And why they really weanted to their have never told the truth about.

Authorizing military force as a threat to protect weapons inspections and scare Saddam into complying is not anywhere near the same as invading unilaterally and occupying the country without a clear plan or purpose.

Kerry was 100% right about Iraq and the 87 billion vote. The Bushies lied-lied-lied about that 87 billion issue. Kerry simply wanted what we should have had in place, accountability for where the money was going, and a way to pay for it. Now we wish the senate had sided with Kerry because that 87 is not only gone, but we will never know how it was spent, and now we know some 21 billion of our money is MISSING in Iraq. So why isn't the rightwing interested in where 21 billion in missing money went? Kerry's version of the 87 billion funding bill would have told us. And I can assure you the level of corruption in Bush's Iraq is far worse than anything the UN was ever accused of. That's nickel and dime stuff by comparison.

Kerry never supported the invasion of Iraq except as a very last resort because we HAD TO not because we wanted to. He has been 100% clear about this since 2003. The Bushies don't want the public to know Kerry was right and Bush was wrong, because this debate rages on, and now Bush has been proven wrong. Kerry howwver has been proven right, except for one thing, believing any of the BS intel Bushies were showing the senate. But whose fault is that? The liars or the people lied to?
