I'd add that even if the Iraq invasion was justified it was bungled
badly.
The administration ignored its own experts and we lost lives because of
it.
For that reason alone they don't merit being returned to office.

If it was bungled so badly, why do the military and veterans
overwhelmingly support Bush instead of Kerry?

Marketing.


Why did Kerry participate in this supposed lie? For a long time, there, he
was Bush's biggest critic for not invading Iraq sooner than he did. Kerry
was the biggest hawk in the country. How come you do not think Kerry was
lying?

I wasn't addressing Kerry's role. His role as a senator is largely
irrelevant to me. Nor did say anything about lying. In fact, my point was
that even if the necessity for the war is stipulated there is/was ample
reason not to re-elect Bush.

Kerry's truthfulness has nothing to do with Bush's bungling.
