Kerry himself would never say things like that. Just ask him.
"The important thing is that Saddam Hussein and the world knows that we think Saddam Hussein is essentially out of synch with the times. He is and has acted like a terrorist, and he has engaged in activities ... that are unacceptable."
And it got even better on that same O'Reilly show: "I think we ought to put the heat on Saddam Hussein. I've said that for a number of years, Bill. I criticized the Clinton administration for backing off the inspections when Ambassador Butler was giving us strong evidence that we needed to continue. I think we need to put the pressure on no matter what the evidence is about September 11. But I think we have to do it in a thoughtful and intelligent way. ... The important thing is that Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein fired weapons on Israel! ... In addition to that he has refused to live by the terms of the treaty that he signed at the end of the war in which he agreed to do certain things."
John Kerry on O'Reilly, December 11, 2001
Three days later, you went on with Larry King on CNN. All Larry had to do was ask you about enhancing the war on terror: "What are your thoughts about going further than Afghanistan, all terrorist places?"
..."Oh, I think we clearly have to keep the pressure on terrorism globally. This doesn't end with Afghanistan by any imagination. Terrorism is a global menace. It's a scourge. And it is absolutely vital that we continue, for instance, Saddam Hussein."
Now what was that murmur about Faux News and Bush trying to tie 9-11 and Iraq together in the war on terror? Who was rushing to war?
