Kerry has never changed his stance on Iraq. He has always believed the world would be and is a better place without Saddam. He just believes the way the Bush has handled the war, by going it nearly alone, without a plan to win the peace...
Geez, you sound like a Kerry commercial, just regurgitating his talking points.
Some facts and context:
The same allies who liberated Iraq, are the same allies who stormed the beaches at Normandy to liberate Europe. Was that a "fraudulent coalition"?
Note that when Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991, when the UN was on board, and we had even more allies on board than today, Kerry voted NO to remove Saddam from Kuwait.
Last month Kerry outrageously cited Jordanian dictator Abdullah as a credible source to criticize elections in Iraq. Newsflash to Kerry: Mideast dictators are the problem we're trying to clean up -- we don't need the advice of a Mideast dictator on how to establish a democracy.
As for the UN (who was on Saddam's payroll to the tune of $11 Billion), nine months before the Sept 11th attacks, two members of the UN "Security Council" -- communist China and Malaysia -- did not support a UN Resolution demanding the Taliban regime hand over Bin Laden and dismantle terrorist training camps:
December 19, 2000
SECURITY COUNCIL IMPOSES WIDE NEW MEASURES AGAINST TALIBAN
AUTHORITIES IN AFGHANISTAN, DEMANDS ACTION ON TERRORISM
Resolution 1333 (2000) Calls for Closure of Training Camps, End
to Provision of Sanctuary; Ban Imposed on Military Assistance
The Security Council demanded this afternoon that Afghanistan's
Taliban authorities act swiftly to close all camps where
terrorists are trained in the territory under their control and
called for confirmation of such closures by the United Nations.
And when the war in Iraq began in March 2003, the Baathist dictatorship of Syria was acting President of the UN Security Council.
The UN and make-believe "allies" will never provide security for the American people, and to think otherwise is simply naive.
