Scroll down toy the Kerry section....
Just google "Kerry quotes" it brings up lots of stuff.
You want quotes on the "for" side, or on the "against" side? We got 'em both.
The guy I'm debating is using that tired old argument that Bush manipulated intel info about WMDs to go to war. The quotes I need wuold be Kerry saying we should attack Iraq, they have WMDs, etc. Thanks for your help
How about this quote of John Kerry's ""I don't want to claim that God is on our side."
Op-Ed, "We Still Have A Choice On Iraq," The New York Times
Oct 9, 2002: "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." John Kerry's Senate Speech
Shiite terrorist leader Muqtada al-Sadr was so impressed with Sen. Ted Kennedy's portrayal of the war in Iraq as "George Bush's Vietnam," he's picked up the theme himself.
"Iraq will be another Vietnam for America and the occupiers," al-Sadr said in a statement issued from his office in Najaf.
Al-Sadr's remark mirrored Kennedy's own anti-war blast, when he told the Brookings Institution, "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam."
"I call upon the American people to stand beside their brethren, the Iraqi people, who are suffering an injustice by your rulers and the occupying army, to help them in the transfer of power to honest Iraqis," the al-Sadr statement continued, according to the Associated Press.
No doubt Sen. Kennedy will echo the al-Sadr sentiment in his next address. newsmax
The plain fact of the matter is that up until the moment the war started, the Left was in full agreement that Saddam was loaded with WMDs. In fact, that was one of their arguments as to why we shouldn't have gone to war... so as not to expose our troops to WMDs. It's completely disingenuous for them to turn around now and say there were no WMDs and that Bush manipulated intel - it's a completely baseless charge for which there is zero evidence at all (ask for him to produce evidence thereof, and remind him of Joe Wilson). On top of that, there was a global consensus that also agreed - and you can remind your lefty friend that that is the same global consensus he insists upon regularly.
excellent point
