KERRY BACKED UNILATERAL ACTION AGAINST SADDAM
By Joel C. Rosenberg

(WASHINGTON, D.C., January 26, 2003) -- Sen. John
Kerry (D-MA) over the weekend again attacked President
Bush's decision to go to war with Iraq, even though
Kerry voted to authorize military force. Kerry said
the President "went to war without building a
legitimate coalition, without exhausting the remedies
of the United Nations and not as a last resort. And
that's why I was upset about it....The president
bum-rushed the thing."

But FLASH TRAFFIC can report that Kerry gave a speech
on the floor of the United States Senate in 1997 in
which he urged the Clinton-Gore administration to deal
with Saddam's "ominous" and "grave" threat of weapons
of mass destruction decisively, even if the U.S.
allies did not agree and the U.S. had to act on a
"unilateral basis."

Excerpts from Kerry November 9, 1997 speech entitled,
"WE MUST BE FIRM WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN":
