What does that even mean?
First video: Kerry thinks the world is better off with Hussein captured. Doesn't mean Bush did it the right way but chasing the inspectors out of Iraq, by eschewing international cooperation, by going to war without a plan for what to do afterwards. Where's the flip-flop? The world would be better off with Kim Jong Il captured, no doubt about that. Doesn't mean it's necessarily worth the cost America would take by doing it alone.
Video 2: Kerry thinks if you're going to issue a preemptive attack, it needs to be supported by facts, facts that can convice your countrymen (and notice he said countrymen first) and the rest of the world that what you did is right, and that you exhausted diplomatic efforts before you sent people to die. That's international law. Where's the flip-flop?
He did vote for the $87 billion dollars in a way that would roll back the failed tax cuts for the wealthiest people. He voted against the $87 billion that would simply tack on more money to the already colossal debt Bush has inflicted on this country and our future. That's fiscal responsibility.
The video also feebly takes a quote out of context, acting as if Kerry saying "the president made a mistake in invading Iraq" referred to the act of invading Iraq, rather than the mistakes he's made in executing that invasion.
Another example of extreme dishonesty is when they equate the fact that Bush would have done everything the exact same way, including rebuffing international cooperation and going without a plan for post-war Iraq, knowing there are no WMDs, with Kerry saying he would still have voted for authorization of force as a last resort and would have handled that authority very, very differently. That's doesn't even make any sense.
It's also a lie when they claim Kerry flip-flopped by saying both "Saddam was a threat" and that he did not pose an "imminent threat to our security." I think even a second grader can tell the difference between "threat" and "imminent threat" Elder, I don't know why you can't.
I think a second grader could also understand that it is 100% percent consistent to say Saddam should not have WMDs, but that Bush saying there are WMDs is not evidence. Additionally, it's pitiful that they'd present the quote where Kerry says he doesn't know what will turn up in Iraq, considering he said that almost a year ago, and it was taken out of context anyway as you already knew Elder from the other thread thanks to Solo Inter.
I was actually stunned at the end that this poorly executed, profoundly dishonest hogwash was produced by the Republican National Committee. What a black eye for the right.
I will deal with the other video later, don't have time at the moment.
Elder, you're sacrificing your dignity and looking very unintelligent by simply reciting indefensible lies from the right. You need to start showing some skepticism with regard to what you are fed by Bush.
