1. explaining to tweety Kerry's vote for IWR
saying it was NOT a carte blanche for war; only an OK to pursue all other approaches BEFORE invading

very eloquent, now describing the three phases of the war

except he likes Negroponte

7. A good question to Kerry
and many dems-"Would you have voted for the war if you knew then what you know now?" Reasonable and seldom really answered in any way I feel comfortable with.

4. Why can't Kerry defend this??
I've heard this answer so many times and it's the RIGHT answer but why doesn't it get through??? And why can't Kerry say he would have voted against it if he knew what we know now?? Most senators can say it...come on John...DO IT!!

8. I got the impression that he was afraid to say no!
What is going on here, are we missing a strategy or what?

6. They don't want to say the obvious which would be "No" because
you can hear the Shrub people just waiting to say Kerry flip/flopped on the war.

9. Disturbed by Holbrookes' answer that he, personally, even if
he had seen the report that there were no WMD, would STILL have supported going to war, but not on Bush's schedule.
huh?

10. Holbrooke seemed to say the Yes vote was right?
This same thing happened on 60 Minutes, in the Kerry/Edwards interview.

I think kerry should be able to give a yes or no answer.I still do not understand his position.
