Kerry Gives a Direct Answer

and it's not one the anti-war left will like:
'Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said on Monday he would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing force against Iraq even if he had known then no weapons of mass destruction would be found.
Taking up a challenge from President Bush, whom he will face in the Nov. 2 election, the Massachusetts senator said: "I'll answer it directly. Yes, I would have voted for the authority.' http://news.myway.com/top/article/id/381249|top|08-09-2004::17:46|reuters.html

"I'll answer it directly. Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it is the right authority for a president to have but I would have used that authority effectively."
He's even starting to distance himself from Michael Moore (and himself):
'Stripes: You said during your speech that never again would U.S. troops be hostage to a lousy energy policy —
Kerry: What I said is, I didn’t say never again, I said I don’t want them to be hostage.
Stripes: You think that’s what’s going on now?
Kerry: No. That’s not related directly to the oil … and I never suggested that it is.
Stripes: The charge is out there that Republicans are much better suited to handle defense issues. How do you counter that?
Kerry: My record counters that, and my friends counter that. '

Ok Renee,
Your cutting and pasting technique could use some work.
Does anyone remember being told that Iraq was a rich country & they could finance their own liberation?
I know it's harder to find out the whole story, & it's easier to react to just a small part of a story in the news, but that's not the reality of the situation.
To just cling to one sentence & disregard the rest makes no sense.
< Well, that makes me wonder even more then why he voted against the 87 billion to supply our troops with proper equipment and such. I guess it simply fortifies my opinion that he is very liberal, especially when it comes to the military.>
The rest is merely dressing on the salad, attempting to show a difference between Bush and himself.

Every time he opens his mouth, he tries to shove his foot even further into it.
He explains a flip flop with another flip flop.
He is for the war, against the war, but then would vote to do it all over again.
He is for the money, while being against it.
It is a good thing he is married because I think he would have a hard time getting dressed in the morning. I will wear the blue suit, no the brown suit, no the grey suit......
<<Does anyone remember being told that Iraq was a rich country & they could finance their own liberation? >>
That was mainly the line from the folks who claimed we were occupying Iraq to steal their ooooiiiillll!
