12. Agreed.
To me saying the Edwards is the "anti-war" candidate is delusional at best, dishonest at worst. His record clearly shows him to be something else.

Only in desperation would it be possible to say that the guy that co-sponsored the resolution that started this war, wrote an article preaching it's validity, and was a anti-Iraq cheerleader...is now our anti-war hero.

I actually believe that maybe Edwards wasn't gung-ho for the war...but he went along with it because it was politically expedient at the time. Just like the Patriot Act. Just like No Child Left Behind. Just like now he is so darn "anti-war".

Edwards to me is the consummate politician, who does what it takes to keep himself in with the fluctuating majority.

Apologies aside, what else is he doing that will honestly bring change to the region? Is he meeting with Middle Eastern leaders? Or is it just more political grandstanding, aiming for votes?
