To state the obvious, none of these quotations -- however inflammatory -- fit Rove's bill. To take the last, Kerry said that he would use the military when necessary, but suggested that the Bush Administration was choosing the wrong tactics. Porter Goss, Arturo Gonzalez and Karen Hughes would strongly resist the idea that what they do is not part of the war on terrorism.
Kucinich sounds like he was channeling Gandhi. I don't happen to agree -- and neither do most Democrats, who voted unanimously to fund the war in Afghanistan -- but in any event, what he said there does not support Rove. Someone surely has done a good job of finding you sentences from Kaptur, Sharpton & Abercrombie to wrench out of context, but none of those fit Rove's bill, either. Kaptur and Abercrombie voted for the war in Afghanistan, too, so perhaps you're not trying very hard to understand where they were coming from.

The point isn't who voted for the War. that was a no-brainer, there were constituents would have skewered them. Read the first 3 quotes again, they are tacit defenses based on the doctrine of moral relativity, of bin laden and al qaeda and a tacit justification of the attacks.
If you don't want to see the obvious that's fine, deflect, but with a majority of Americans have acknowledged the moral vacuity of the doctrine of moral relativism. It ain't justifiable. There is good and evil and they have charged Bush with cleaning up the latter.
Unfortunately, it is hard work, so Frist or Jeb will probably have to finish the job.
