I think was a great speech. I really did not expect that good of speech. That really changed my look on the election. I really can't wait til the Republic National Convention. I want to see what Bush is cooking up.

Well, from the thirty seconds I saw of the speech, he pretty much said that we went into Iraq without a any plan what-so-ever, and were just winging it the whole time. I promptly left the room to go watch cartoons.

He and Edwards both voted for the war- now he's against the war? Hmhmhmhm- the man was a three term Senator, what did he do over those three terms? What was he passinate about promoting, fixing creating? Now he's running for president and has the answers- well where were the answers while he was spending 3 terms as a senator? Did he keep them a secret till he got a chance to run for president?

His wife sure cant talk......She says she can speak 5 different languages. English isnt one of them either cause she sounds like shes been living here a 2 months. And people that know that many languages must have alot of time on there hands.........well I guess growning up in south Afrika she would...unless she herds elephants or catches AIDS.
And yes SHE DID grow up in SA.

Kerry is just a stupid Liberal Commie. I beleive that if he takes office america is screwed. Hell ull prolly have to move to Canada *shudders*. Cause kerry is the UNs bestfreind which I think the UN is useless any how so theres no chance of us being feared anymore. Plus to kerry wants to reinstate Clitons gun ban which will suck.

You all are rediculous, calling people nazis, commies and stupid fools with no evidence to support it. Insanity, his speech was excellent, it swayed me further over onto his side. I've learned that Bush has very little good to offer to this nation...just harm.

What you said is exactly what Clinton had done. No need to say Clinton exactly you summed it up by insulting Bush.
BTW.....STRONG ALLIES! HA! France, Germany, and Russia, all sold Iraq its nuclear generators and material. Thats one reason they didnt want us to go into Iraq. We dont need the whole world as our allies, does it look like China has the whole world as their allies? NO!! And they're doing great.SOOOO great all you liberal pansies think they are gonna start a war with us and win.

Oh god if that isnt the stupidest thing ive heard all night.
He only kept inspectors out to make us think he had WMDS? What is wrong with you!!!!! You know what its not even worth explaining, that was just the most idiotic thing ive ever read.
And another thing, all you liberals say that this war was for oil. Now it was for money. But if that was soo true why are gas prices sooo high and how come the us has a debt to pay off still. You people are just soo stupid. Make up your mind.

well then i guess we should be in like 7 other countrys right now. shouldn't we Saddam wanted to appear to be a threat so we would leave him alone. bush wanted him to appear as a threat for his personal gain. Bush is the terrorist hes the reason why poor people with no Ware els to go but the army are geting killed. You know why so halibertons stock will go up.

LOL- you know maybe if the Democrat Clinton had a backbone and had killed that SOB Bin Laden- when he could have there would have been no 9-11, no Afghanistan, no Iraq. The democrats may want to wash their hands of this and point the finger at Bush and the republicans but they put us all on the path to what has transpired. There is no party that does not share in all that's has transpired. If Kerry had concerns on Iraq or answers for the occupation then I want to see the congressional record- I want to see where he made those concerns known to the US senate, to congress to the American public. Saying after the fact- "well I'd have done it differently" does not cut it.

Wanna hear a funny story straight from a veteran of the Iraq war? A city in Iraq was evacuated, every civilian and army personal. Want to know why? There was readings of Uranium found within the city. Now please do tell me theres no WMDS.
Funny all this coming from someone who wants to nuke canada.

o yea...of course someone is paying them off. way to make assumptions! First off im not the media. Second the media is the media they never did and they never will work for the country only their own success and themselves. I dont know why they dont report this stuff why dont YOU ask them yourself.
The truth of the matter is WMD's have been, are being, and will be found whether you want to believe it or not.
BTW the caps were to stress the fact to your thick skull, I dont know maybe its the fact that they letter are big and you can understand them better. I know how little tiny letters can make it hard for you to decipher.

You'll just have to let it go man. There are too many people that lash out and call us commies and talk about how liberals are the "devil." If some of these people, not all, actually took the time to prepare an argument and research things then they might have intelligent comments. One person said that after 30 seconds of Kerry's speach he walked out because Kerry said we went to Iraq with false information. The fact of the matter is the CIA had just come out and admitted to going to war on false premises and blowing up information. How can you get mad at the truth? People are going to flame and spout their opinions without doing research or clearly looking at the situation. Just do your part and vote. Then we'll see who wins.
By the way, Kerry's speach was very good, although the best speach given was by Al Sharpton suprisingly. That man could have touched a dead person. He was brilliant, although I don't normally agree with him.

Like Jon Stewart said, the CIA claiming that the information they had was wrong and that yes they sort of lied to the public and government about WMD's and the Iraq-9/11 link should quite possibly be the biggest scandle of our time. This scandle should be bigger than Iran-Contra, bigger than the Clinton affair, yet Teresa Heinz Kerry telling someone to "shove it" seems to be a bigger deal. I'd like to understand how the media is so liberal if they are barely touching this issue, yet making a bigger deal out of Heinz Kerry.

My point is that all politicians take sides and manipulate "intelligence" accordingly. I did some research and in 1998 Clinton was trying to rally support for an invasion of Iraq. Republicans were not buying it. Same year, Yetsin feared that Iraq was on the verge of starting World War III. Switch presidents and parties, and everything changes, literally. Similar to Vietnam Era politics.

Ah okay, I understand what you're saying now. I do agree with you on most of that. The Republicans in the later 1990's were not ready to go back into Iraq, I remember that.

This thread, with very few exceptions, has just been nasty and childish. You're spewing soundbytes you've heard at each other like monkeys hurling feces.
I'm not going to say that the inteligence they had wasn't spun to show their veiwpoint, or that they hadn't been intentionally misled by Chalibi and the INC.
But it's time for a little history refresher here.
Fact: Saddam had and used chemical weapons
Fact: Saddam had a weapons program
Fact: Saddam agreed to declare his weapons and facilities, and have their destruction verified by inspectors. Much like arms reduction was done with the soviets. Missles, bomber aircraft ect. were destroyed publicly and verifiably.
Fact: Saddam DID NOT COMPLY with inspectors. They were not granted acess to all of the facilities, they actually had to hunt for these weapons that he had declared he had. It wasn't a simple affair of the inspectors watching him dismantle his program like it was supposed to be. He quite obviously had no intent of complying with inspectors, causing them to leave the country a few times during the Clinton administration, ending with their final withdrawl and a massive air campaign that destroyed many sites he wouldn't allow acess to.
Fact: When inspectors we allowed back in before we invaded they discovered Saddam had the Al-Samoud II rockets, which, due to their range he wasn't allowed to have. These were supposedly all destroyed by inspectors before the invasion, but they still got lobbed at Kuwait when we went in(many getting shot down, or left alone because they'd only land in the desert). I only keep from citing SCUDs(which were a big no-no according to the post gulf war agreement) because the media tends to call any big rocket fired by Iraq as a SCUD, much like people call facial tissue Kleenex even if it isn't Kleenex brand.
Fact: Saddam refused to account for many liters of toxic agents that he declared previously and would not verify their destruction or show where they were.
Add to that shells designed to carry gas(which did not contain gas) one sarin shell, and circumstancial evidence of duel-use facilities to produce chemicals.(I still have no clue what those trucks were for if they weren't a mobile bio-weapons lab) And a few jets modified to dump bio-weapons or gas on a video shown to the UN by Colin Powell, plus some planes burried in the sand. With those circumstances, plus the post 9-11 climate, I don't see how we could have afforded to not do something about Saddam and take his word for it that he had no weapons or program, even though he wouldn't allow inspectors to verify this. When you're talking about the possibility of a chemical or biological attack, the stakes are pretty darn huge.
George Bush should have allowed the inspectors to have more time in Iraq. Just enough time to get fed up with Saddam and leave. Saddam played this game with Clinton, the great statesman that he was(no sarcasm here actually) got the inspectors to leave, and would allow them back in at the very last second, at one time the tomahawks were spooling up in their launch tubes before he caved. Even Clinton got sick of this and bombed the hell out of Iraq. (the republicans really didn't like that) Saddam didn't quite think Bush had the stones to piss off the UN and attack anyway and figured he could play the game with him.
What bothers me most about how the administration justified the war was mainly focused on the WMD danger. I don't like the scare tactics and the way he really stretched things out to make it look like a bigger deal than it was. I think the REAL reasons for the war were good enough and blowing some of them out of porportion to convince the public, IMO is insulting to the intelligence of the general public. However, as a lot of guys in this thread have proved, mindless repitition of a soundbyte works to perseud people. Be it "George Bush is the terrorist" or "nuculer(sic) weapons". You guys remind me of the sheep in Orwell's "Animal Farm" sometimes.
So for the REAL REASON for this war. Al-Qeada connection? Eh, not really. Some of our "allies" have more Al-Qeada than Iraq did before the war. Oil? Well, that's the only reason we got involved with the region in the first place, but not quite the reason for the war. WMD? Scary, and usually better safe than sorry, but then why not other countries that had it Security? Probably the closest you'll come to the real reason.
The sanctions imposed on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War were harsh. Iraqis were dieing because of them by the thousands while the Ba'athists were living in luxury. In situations like this, tenions are boiling. Saddam wouldn't live for ever, and was totally off his rocker by the end, writing romance novels while the country went to hell and his sons raped and tourtured the population. What was going to happen in Iraq after Saddam kicked the bucket? Would one of his sons who were actually worse than him, take over? What if the whole country errupted into a huge civil war, or Iran tried to annex it?
We could very possibly end up having to move in there fast to stabilize or fight with little warning, or the results could be horrific. What if it became a Fundamentalist Islamic state? What if it became a failed state run by warlords and crawling with terrorists blaming the US for their current situation because of sanctions or inaction? What if any of these things happened, and there had been WMD? It doesn't take much to really screw things up. The things that sarin attack in a Japanese subway did were horrible. Imagine that in grand central station.
9-11 changed our policy to one of pre-emption. With the possibility of a WMD attack, you can't afford not to have that policy, and I'm afraid Bush's use of it many have discredited it enirely.
Now on to Kerry. Kerry voted in favor of the war, now I've heard him saying it was a mistake, and also that he'd do it again if placed in the same situation, just have a better coalition. Mostly I can't figure out what the hell he's talkin about, because it changes every time he's asked. Kerry's in it for the votes, and will say what he needs to to get your vote. Even if it disagrees with what he told someone else.
As for building a better coalition, I don't see that happening sucessfully. Nobody's going to want to get into this thing now. The absolute best he could do would be to help keep other countries from complaining so much, but they wouldn't support it any more than they are. Even the 1991 coalition was mostly US. Face it, even with John Kerry as president, we aren't going to get French, or German, or Russian, or UN troops on the ground there. And at this point of the game, we don't want to be bringing them in. It'd annoy the Iraqis who're trying to do this themselves with minimal help.
I'd really like to know what John Kerry is going to do to improve the situation. I don't care what he would have done differently, I want to know what he's going to do NOW and how he plans on doing that.
The reality of it is we're at war with Extremist Muslims all over the world. And if they weren't in Iraq before, they are now. It'd be great if we could just pack up and leave the country and the Iraqis would handle everything. But if we leave, they'll follow us. They'll strike in Africa, the Philipennes, South East Asia, right here in the US. This enemy has no borders and hates us passionatly. They seek to turn Iraq into that failed state or Islamic state to harbor their opression and warped ideology. They are using good old fasioned tradition terrorist methods of hostage taking to break up our coalition, which doesn't matter if it's as big of a joke as the democrats say. The terrorists seem to think it's helping them to do this.
I honestly don't think John Kerry will be able to do better than Bush in keeping the coalition together, let alone build it up. The situation in the world now is scary as hell. I'd be great if getting rid of George Bush would make them stop hating us, but they'll hate us anyway. I'm afraid if Kerry wins it will send the wrong message to terrorists, and even more afraid he will insitute policy changes that will disrupt any progress we HAVE made, or can make on the current path.
Please, if you can tell me what John Kerry is going to do differently and how he's going to accomplish it, and what the end results will be, tell me. I'm not happy at all with the current situation, but I do see how it could get much, much worse in a hurry. I still do consider myself undecided, but for me foreign policy is a big issue, seeing as how I'm of appropriate age to end up getting shipped off and shot at if things really blow up. I'm strongly looking into joining the service as a way to pay for college, plus my own personal beleifs and reasoning. I'd rather not have a president who's likely to do a duct-tape and bungy cord type fix on the worl situation that will hold for his presidency then break open even worse years down the road.

Getting back on topic here....
I liked Kerry's speech. He said what he needed to say and he did a good job saying it. A great speech presented in a great way. It seemed to me like he really meant what he was saying.
I agree with Dune though. Sharpton without a doubt had the best speech at the convention. That was just great. I was also very impressed with Obama's speech, even more so than I was with Kerry's.
I really didn't appreciate the conservative reporters though... They really took away from most of the enjoyment of the program. I was watching CNN by the way.
Hahahahahaha, did anyone else laugh at the director of events at the end of Kerry's speech? "More baloons. Where are the baloons? I don't see baloons. Come on, baloons, baloons, baloons, baloons. Where the hell are the baloons? Come on confetti." Hahahahahaha, that was great.

Kerry believes everything he says, especially about his service in Vietnam; the problem is that even the people who served alongside of him do not. How much do you know about the Reverend? I am going to assume that you may be too young to remember his racism and anti-Semitism.

I wholeheartedly agree with rednekk98 on what he said.
As for the DNC, I laughed through the parts I watched. To hear Sharpton talk, Bush is a psycho black-hating racist, who only wants to keep the black man down. I don't think that giving "minorities" (for lack of a better word) preferential treatment (affirmative action) over whites is discrimination, except maybe against white people.
If you really want equality, stop trying to be better than anyone else.

I especially like the quote at the end of Kerry's speech, that Abe Lincoln said somewhere along the lines of 'Not Praying That God is on Our side but hoping that we are on His', I strongly agree with this statement and disagree with Bush's religious justifications for certain actions.
I also still feel that waging war on other nations and the idea of "Terrorism" will not protect us but will further put us in danger. I feel that this is simply an attempt to put out flames with gasoline.

Figure the whole middle east is a hornet's nest hanging over the door to your garage. You've ignored it for a while hopeing the wouldn't screw with you, it just got huge instead. You need to use the garage so you can drive your car to work and make money, but if you keep using it sooner or later you'll get stung. Well, on 9-11-01, 19 of the little buggers decided to sting your dog. Now think like a Texan here, what do you do? Grab the 12 gauge, put in what you hope is the right choke and shot to obliterate the whole nest, and blast it to kingdom come. Great for you, you knocked it down and killed a bunch of them. Now your wife insists you pick up the mess in the driveway, but the surviving bees are stinging you while you try to do it. Your wife(did I mention she's French?) says you're a dumbarse and you should have left well enough alone. Or let her go to the store and get some hornet spray so you could deal with it later. Now she wont get you the hornet spray or open the garbage can lid so you can chuck out the nest. Now you've got a few angry bees flying around that may sting your neighbors, but if you'd waited for your wife to get around to her offer of buying some spray(she'd have bought whatever was on sale and it prolly wouldn't have killed them all and they'd be back in a week) the nest might have gotten bigger, or they'd sting your kids instead of your dog, which she doesn't care about anyways since she's a cat person. Or what if the bees proliferated and you ended up with more nests that wouldn't be so "easy" to deal with that'd gety ou when you didn't suspect it, or come in through a vent or something?
So hunting down the individual bees that stung your dog would only stop them from stinging again, and there'd be a mess of them still there. Best to find a way to eliminate most of them and swat the survivors.
Man that's a weird analogy. Hope it makes even a tad of sens.

This might be a tad irrelivant, but there are actually A LOT more terrorists in Iraq now that Saddam is out of power. And if I remember correctly bush led us into Iraq to destroy said "WMDs", not to clense the country of terrorists.
