Kerry... said sending US troops into Iraq should be "the last option, but it is a legitimate option."

I find it very consistent since outright surrender would also be an option...and he said ground troops was the last option.

I just came across this unrelated tidbit:

Dean urged Clinton to take unilateral action in Bosnia
By Steve Komarow, USA TODAY

Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean, a strong critic of what he calls President Bush's unilateral approach to foreign policy, urged President Clinton to act unilaterally and enter the war in Bosnia in 1995. (Related item: Text of letter)

However, after urging that the US military be used to oust Saddam, he probably urged against authorization of the necessary funds.

"He was "way ahead of the commander in chief ... and certainly of much of the country" before he became way behind them. But then, with him "way behind one", one has to watch one's back."

John F'n "biker pants" Kerry is backward in coming forward again....the ultimate flip flopper.

An interesting one from the liberal Boston Globe,no less.

In 1998 it was okay,but now it isn't.Am I missing something here?

We should really spread this one around.

The state's junior senator said President Clinton had not been tough enough in his measures to subdue the Iraqi president.

"Senator Flip Flop." What a disgusting worm he is.

To tell you the truth, Mears, I never HEARD of FnKerry before this year. I mean it. LOL!

I never heard of this worm..........

More evidence of mr. kerry's continual flip flopping. There is no way this sham of a man should have ever been elected to public office including the long tenure he has had as a Federal U.S. Senator. This is more indication that kerry does nothing but stick his fingers in the air to see which way the wind blows before he makes a decision about anything. Anything that at a particular moment in time might make him look good. In this particular instance, this also is more smoke he blew to try to hide his anti-American past so he could possibly use it for his gain in the future. Well six years have past mr. kerry since you made these statements. In contrast we should make sure the whole world knows of your constant flip flopping. mr. kerry, you should try running for office in Saigon(now Ho Chi Mihn City) were a memorial is already dedicated to you and others like you.

Thanks. I'll have to send this to my nephew, who now thinks that "Bush lied" to get us into Iraq. I'm really sick of hearing that refrain.

Because he saw Bosnia as an example of genocide. He didn't see that with Iraq.
