No it doesn't, because it doesn't change what the anti-war movement has been saying about Kerry all along, and continues to say today. Kerry is just as much a hawk as Bush, and stridently maintains he will stay the course AND increase the troop the levels (thereby escalating the war in the region, not just Iraq), to "win."

Kerry saying he was given bum information hasn't resulted in him saying he would begin an immediate withdrawal from Iraq within six months of Inauguration Day.   His position is the same as it was, he is just trying to wiggle out of having to give an inch to the anti-war movement by saying he was duped by the Bush administration.

Hell, the whole fucking world knew the Bush administration was lying about their justifications for pre-emptively invading another country. The whole fucking world, Amos. So how come your smarty pants senator couldn't figure that out?

Reason? He is just as much a part of the US oligarchy as Bush, and is defending the reach of the US empire into the oil rich nations.

Just because you have deluded yourself into believing he isn't, doesn't mean he isn't. It just means you are experiencing tremendous cognitive dissonance in justifying your vote for Kerry. Just like that all white jury did in California about the Rodney King police brutality case. Despite the truth and facts of the evidence, which the entire world saw with their very own eyes thanks to the videotape, they found the cops not guilty. Why? Because of their deeply held beliefs that a black man must be asking for it, and the police aren't in any way wrong for beating a black man. It was their racism that made them find those cops not guilty, even though they were guilty as hell.

You are doing the same thing Amos. You are lying to yourself about Kerry and his actual stated positions. Kerry is going to escalate the war in Iraq, not end it. The reason he is going to do that is because he is of the oligarchy, not fighting against it, which is what he wants voters to believe, so he'll win, and his side get the spoils of war.

Too bad. I used to think you were not only smarter, but also a much more balanced person than we've seen you be here of late. You and some other Kerry supporters are just foaming at the mouth. That is our first clue that you are disturbed.
