I SUPPORT MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAQ, BUT ONLY UNDER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS
Real Clear Politics nails just how flexible John Kerry's standards for military action are. Read the whole thing, but here's the short version: In 1997, he said that if the Security Council was unwilling to act, the U.S. should be prepared to act unilaterally.
Kerry's position is simple: Saddam is a "grave threat requiring the use of significant, preemptive, and unilateral military force," as RCP puts it, under a Democratic President. Under a Republican president, the threat is overstated.
