Quotes, you want quotes? Here is what I wrote on January 21 of this year on the board (pardon my being self-referential, I usually don't do it but for this I'll make an exception):

As an American, I would fully support war against Saddam if there was
incontrovertible evidence that it A) played a role in the events of September 11th, or B) possessed, or was near to possessing nuclear weapons. Absent such evidence, I see no reason for our troops to die by the hundreds, and possibly by the thousands. I see no significant threat to the United States, even if Saddam does possess "non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction". At present, Saddam is contained, a threat to no one, other than, sadly, his own people. I would continue the no-fly zones, fund opposition groups, and, if the opportunity were to present itself, assassinate the man. We know that war will involve the deaths of many of our troops, innumerable civilians and possibly destabilize the region, the consequences of which no one can predict.

Now back to the present, Mr. Voice O, I'll wager that the majority of the Democrats you quote were against the war, notwithstanding their concerns over WOMD. I know Kerry caved and voted for it. So what's your point? The bottom line is that the war was a colossal, tragic blunder and you don't have the ball to admit it, or even sign your name. Coward!
