Reply #148: No position is no position [View All]

That's the core problem with Kerry. He wants everything both ways. I respect his intelligence and 3D thinking, but sometimes ya gotta look at the bottom line and have a clear opinion, especially in politics.

It is not an "artsy" question to ask what is the "noble cause" for this war.

If Kerry believed it was a noble cause to liberate the Iraqi people for its own sake, then take a stand on that. But his response epitomized how we got into this mess. Too many people overlooked the core reason for it and the web of deceit that was woven around it.

Sure, even anti-war people believe it is a noble goal to liberate Iraq from Sadaam. However, that's not the issue, especially if they ultimately end up being delivered to equally repressive fundamantalist extremists or descend into full fledged chaos and civil war.

Kerry was absolutely correct when he said "wrong war." Too bad he couldn't have stuck with the position from the beginning.
