Well Put

John Kerry today:

“[T]oday, President Bush tells us that he would do everything all over again, the same way. How can he possibly be serious?”

“Is he really saying to Americans that if we had known there were no imminent threat, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to al-Qaida, the United States should have invaded Iraq? My answer is resoundingly no, because a commander in chief’s first responsibility is to make a wise and responsible decision to keep America safe.”

“Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell. But that was not, in itself, a reason to go to war. The satisfaction we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure.”

Just so.
