So far it seems like Kerry is trying to win off of Bush's mistakes... that's why I can't vote for him. Its always easy to say you "would have" done somthing different after you saw that it didn't work out. I don't remember many people standing up and bashing Bush for his decisions nearly as bad back when he made them.

because doing so would be called "unpatriotic"

and he did recieve quite a lot of crap over the war in Iraq, and many other issues. Its not necessarily true that he tries to win off of his mistakes, John Kerry has an excellent service record. I usually see it the other way, for example, (i just KNOW i'm gonna recieve violent replys for this but here goes), what has George W. Bush actually accomplished other than America's worst Job deficit, an unneccesary war costing in surplus of 200 billion with many lives tragically lost, and Osama Bin Laden still missing?

And that's why I should vote for John Kerry, right?

Well, I'll give it a shot.

He has created tax cuts for everyone (not just the rich), has led us through a recession which is now beginning to turn around into an economic boon which is creating new businesses and jobs (in the last few months, new jobs have been created, at a rate faster than the fastest in Clinton's presidency.), and he captured Saddam Hussein, a tyranical leader with the ability to get his hands on and make WMD's and the balls to use them on anyone, including his own people.

Let's not forget to mention that Kerry supported giving the president war powers to go into Iraq. Not just Kerry, by the way, but quite a big majority of the Senate, if I'm not mistaken.

A better question would be is, what would Kerry do in the White House based on his campaign? The answer is, nothing, because his entire campaign is not based on his qualifications for being president, but it is based on poking fun at Bush.

It's Bush's fault that Bin Laden is still missing? Why don't you go there and try looking for him yourself if you're so confident that it's easy to find him. He is hiding in the mountains that border Afghanistan and Pakistan (possibly). He could be anywhere by now.

Good luck.

And I'd just like to know why taking out one of the worst dictators of all time was unneccesary. Maybe I should just think that WWII in Europe was unnecessary.

The analogy is slightly flawed in that while Hitler was trying to take over the world, Saddam couldn't even take over kuwait without getting his ass kicked. He was a threat to no one except his own people.

If the U.S. hadn't have stepped in, then he wouldn't have got his ass kicked. Same with Hitler.

Saddam still gassed his own people, inlcuding a major gassing of Kurdish people in 1988 I think it was. He had rape camps. He had torture prisons. He developed chemical weapons and used them on his own people.

Saddam sounds more like a Stalin than a Hitler, though.

Actually, he got his chemical weapons from the United States.

America didn't fair as successfully in WWII as you may think. Sure, they did a great job but it was Russia that did most of the damage. Had Hitler not gone back on his strategy of not opening a war on two fronts and didn't attack Russia it's very possible he could have won the war.

Im sorry, but where did he say it was easy?

And second, Bush...well, actually the US...well..technically an Iraqi boy found Saddam in a fraction of the time they have been searching for Osama for.

Most likely dead. Whens the last time you saw one of his little, "I hate America" movies? And in the latter of them, he was getting more an more decreped.

But searching for Osama Bin Laden in the middle east is like looking for someone dressed up as Chewbacca at a Star Wars convention. They all look alike. (Kidding)
