How come Kerry was deceived, and I wasn't? [View All]

Does that mean I from my apartment, am more astute than John Kerry and all his aides, with the information he has access to in the Senate?

I would like to say that I applaud Kerry for taking a step in the right direction, but I don't think he's there yet. But I KNEW Bush was lying about Iraq. The whole time.

You see, the more the inspections were working (and subsequently finding nothing) the more Bush wanted to go to war. An honest person would have moderated his support for war if evidence was slowly turning up that there were no WMD. Someone who was lying to go to war, on the other hand, would be scared of evidence showing that there were no WMD and started the war before they could finish and prove there were no WMD.

It's rather easy to read people to tell if they are lying or not. If I can do this from my house, why can't Kerry do it from the Senate?

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. I believe he voted for the war because he was scared of the political ramifications if he voted against it. Everyone was a bit scared of Bush and Rove back then, but that is no excuse. You have to stand up for what you believe in.
