no. Blix couldn't find them for a long time before that. if what Kerry meant he was voting for was that Bush can go to war only if SH stops the inspections, but that he shouldn't go to war as long as the inspections are progressing, J could have taken that position.
this would be an entirely new position, by the way, but who's counting.
what J's said up till now is that Bush should have gotten other nations to help before starting the war. again, not in the authorization. The entire American public realized this is a BS postiton and that some of those countries weren't helping under any circumstances. This probably why J's changing horses- his old story ain't helping.
Ty, you know why he's being asked the question, right? I have no idea how Daschale feels about his vote now- we're talking about J's vote because he wants to be President. So implicit in the question is the need to answer whether his vote equals what he would have done as President. Some twisted explaination so that Club can say, "I guess Ty's explaination avoids SJ" isn't going to win too many votes."
the silliest part is the allegation that he didn't know Bush would use it to go to war.
A guy that gulliable wants to be my president?
