Davros, that was my point John Kerry was not taking the Presidents word, he made the comments on his own because as a member of the Sennate Intelligence committee he sees the same Intel that goes to the president, and HE Kerry made recommendations to the Senate based on what he saw...What he saw, what Bush saw, what Tony Blair saw...was what everyone believed up to that point...all the intel showed Saddam had WoMD's and programs to build Nuclear weapons. I know analysts who were SURE about it......only the information was wrong....
It really pains me to say that I was wrong about them too....we had intel that "proved" the WoMD's and the Deep bunkers under the mountains....and all our sources were wrong.......to that end...when it comes to WoMD and it looks that sure...you are definately better off NOT waiting till one is used to make sure....
Yes as Commander in Chief it was Bush's call to go to war...but it was nearly unanimously approved by the House AND Senate because of what the House select committee for Intelligence saw, and what John Kerry and others on the Sennate Intelligence committee saw...had all those reports not agreed with the President....Congress would not have voted to empower him to go to war.....and they did.....despite the spin that is now put on it in an effort to gain a leg up in a tight election race.
Anyway What JD said is also true.
