Why is he opposed to the Iraq war? The Vietnam war materialized under similar circumstances, a lie. What's his problem?

When Kerry pointed to the atrocities, he didn't say it was the fault of the soldiers he merely pointed to what they were doing and the leadership failings.

How is that different from criticizing the Abu Ghraib incident (and it wasn't isolated)? It isn't. What about the entire U.S. sanctioned torture debate going on now? Listen to how many times in criticizing Iraq people wind up clarifying that they are not speaking against the troops, but speaking out against the war. Look how many times the Repugs try to make criticism of the war the same as criticism of the troops. It was the same then as it is now: Kerry was dealing with the same breed of assholes.

There are veterans, human rights groups and average citizens screaming about this. Wrong is wrong. Webb is an asshole.
