Ahh... here it is already ... from http://kerry.senate.gov/low/record.cfm?id=189831 In part,

"Second, without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive
regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation. He miscalculated an eight-year war with Iran. He miscalculated the invasion of Kuwait. He miscalculated
America's response to that act of naked aggression. He miscalculated the result of setting oil rigs on fire. He miscalculated the
impact of sending scuds into Israel and trying to assassinate an American President. He miscalculated his own military strength.
He miscalculated the Arab world's response to his misconduct. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations
Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. "

...{ internationalist waffle words }...

"In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, the United Nations has now affirmed that Saddam Hussein must disarm or face the
most serious consequences. Let me make it clear that the burden is resoundingly on Saddam Hussein to live up to the ceasefire
agreement he signed and make clear to the world how he disposed of weapons he previously admitted to possessing. "

Why Kerry isn't testifying in front of the Commission is beyond me...

post #31 ping

In condemning Saddam about the scuds he launched into Israel, we need to remember that one of the many military and defense projects/programs that Kerry voted against was the Patriot missile system.

And I will state again that the ONLY reason that Saddam started feigning cooperating and allowed the UN inspectors back in was because GW Bush placed the mighty military of the US on his doorstep. Kerry would have left them there, in those heightened levels of readiness 24/7 for much, much longer while he wined and dined with his French bunk-buddies at the UN. And we would have gotten no where with the UN and Saddam would have had even more time to burn documents, hide WMD and conspire with AQ.

All this, Kerry would endorse at great personal cost to our servicemen and women and to the American taxpayer. Without regard to either...

The left still doesn't understand that with the internet, their words can be used against them. But of course, they count on the complicit press to keep mum.

That's why it's our job to make sure that voters know what positions the leftists took, until they had presidential and other aspirations.
