Explain how Kerry lied. If its because he and others received false info about Iraq from the Bush Administration, and did what any one would do if they were told Iraq was a IMMINENT THREAT. And Bush did lie..
During the Clinton administration, when Clinton's administration was drawing up plans to change the regime in Iraq, Kerry co-signed a letter to encourage this, he also repeatedly stated that Iraq has WMD's from early 1998 until today!(that is until he decided to run for president)
Here's a few quotes for you for proof, from democrats! and look at the dates and how sure they were about WMDs and WMD programs!
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process"
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec.. 16, 1998
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001
Since Kerry, and other dems., first started repeating this during the Clinton administration (when Clinton was planning on taking out Saddam), I don't know how you can blame these statements that were made by Kerry and other Dems., on Bush, or misinformation from his administration. (Actually I know how, you are a democrat so honesty is not important!-LOL)
Personally, I don't think Bush or Kerry lied, they were just wrong, as was every intelligence agency in the world.
I was just wondering if a democrat could be honest and hold Kerry up to the exact same standards as they do Bush. Obviously not! If you claim Bush lied, then you must admit that Kerry did also, if you are honest.
