| I think if Kerry eventually gets the nomination, Bush will have his hands full. I post this also because in the body of this lengthy treatise, they mentioned something about Bush’s WMD vulnerability in the election. As I recall, the first word about Iraq from the Bush administration I heard concerned a regime change. I do not recall at that whether WMDs were even mentioned, but I do know that a regime change was called for. Bush shouldn’t have too much a problem with his base on anything, except non-defense spending. |

| #4 On WMDs, everybody, and I mean everybody was convinced that Saddistam had either biological, chemical or nuclear programs going at some level. Even if they were two guys in a broom closet they were still "ILLEGAL" programs. As far as Goerge Bush commiting the nation to war, just what did Bill Clinton do with cruise missile attacks into central Bahgdad. Besides doesn't ant body in this country remember the USS Stark |

| #3 I've just been reading about Kerry's wife a very rich heiress. who has the big mouth and left wing politics that normally comes along with a bucket-full of money you didn't earn yourself. |

| #2 Regime change in Iraq had been official U.S. policy since 1998, under Bill Clinton; it's nothing new. As far as I can tell there has not been any change in our policy toward Iraq since Clinton first articulated the necessity for getting rid of Saddam's regime, nor has the Bush administration made any claims to bolster the case for regime change- regarding WMD or anything else- that had not already been made before, including claims by those who now heap scathing criticism on Bush (and Blair). The only thing Bush did on Iraq that Clinton did not, was translate policy into action. |

| #1 WMD was actually brought up by the State Dept. State decided to focus on that in the followups after the SOTU address. |
