The War In Iraq - Kerry's view
How odd that a few short hours after I posted my views on the War, the former Presidential Candidate decided to share his:
"Knowing now the full measure of the Bush administration's duplicity and incompetence, I doubt there are many members of Congress who would give them the authority they abused so badly," Kerry said of his vote to authorize war. "I know I would not."
Same mudslinging...but Kerry's speech at Georgetown was also about his plan which would see a withdraw of US troops by the end of the year. No mention in the excepts I have seen of training the Iraqi forces, and no mention of the vacum of power...just a call for a pull out. This is one of those issues where I have to hang my head and try to explain to my Republician friends how he's not speaking for the whole party...I mean my view on Iraq was posted here before Kerry's speech! I appreaciate Mr. Kerry's views and assessment of the situation but simply pulling out is not the answer.
