I'm not sure that John Kerry's speech this morning is supposed to be serious. Let's do a mini-fisking:

Sen. John Kerry said Monday that mistakes by President Bush in invading Iraq could lead to unending war and that no responsible commander in chief would have begun the war knowing Saddam Hussein didn't possess weapons of mass destruction and wasn't an imminent threat to the United States.

"Yet today, President Bush tells us that he would do everything all over again, the same way. How can he possibly be serious?" the Democratic presidential candidate said at New York University.

Has Bush ever actually said anything other than he does not regret the decision he made based on the information he had? Did he ever say that he would fight the war at all if he though there were no WMDS and no threat?

"Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell," Kerry said. "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."

Is the long term objective of no consequence here? Democracy in the middle east? Removing a threat to our allies? Are the Iraqis not to be considered at all? Remember the "reason" for going to war was just a b.s. excuse to try to get other nations involved which was pushed on Bush by the Democrats to begin with. I guess he dug his own hole there.
