Reply #6: A lot of the WMDs have shelf lives... [View All]

[no name no slogan]

That is another part of the arguement-- the chemicals and bioagents lose their effectiveness after a few years. IOW, they may still be around, but are useless as far as causing damage.

I'm not in any hurry to hang Kerry, but I do disagree on his WMD vote. After 2000, I would not trust ShrubCo any further than I could throw them.

If Iraq was such an "imminent threat", then how come Syria, Iran and its other neighbors were OPPOSED to a US invasion? Surely Iraq's neighbors would have had the most to lose with a threatening, agressive neighbor next door.

If Iraq was such a threat, then why was most of the world NOT convinced of this? Why were there record numbers of demonstrations (and demonstrators) around the world deploring a US invasion? Why were former weapons inspectors like Ritter and Hans Blix NOT supporting the invasion?

It's pretty clear Kerry's vote was one of political expedience to protect his political future. If I were in the same position, I might have done the same thing, so I cannot hold it against him completely.

I will still vote for him if the's the nominee, but I still think he should apologize for his vote and move on. He knows he was wrong, and refusing to admit it does nothing for him.
