Frequent critic of Bush administration rips Democrat for supporting Iraq war

Helen Thomas, the veteran journalist who admits she asks herself "Who do I hate today?" is now blasting Sen. John Kerry for his continued support of what she calls "the disastrous war against Iraq."
n her latest column for Hearst Newspapers, Thomas, 84, writes that voters have little choice for president this November when considering the military action.
Kerry has made a colossal mistake by continuing to defend his October 2002 vote authorizing President Bush's invasion of Iraq.
Last week at the Grand Canyon, Kerry said he would have "voted to give the president the authority to go to war" even if he had known there were no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction – Bush's original justification for war on Iraq.
Kerry explained that he believes a president should have the "authority" to go to war, and he voted accordingly. But he insisted that Bush subsequently misused the authority by rushing headlong into combat based on faulty intelligence about Saddam's weapons arsenal.
Kerry is mistaken on a key point. Under the U.S. Constitution, the president does not have that sole right to declare war. Despite its mindless default, that right still belongs to Congress.
Kerry has passed up several chances to distance himself from the Iraqi debacle. But instead he has left himself wide open to Bush's ridicule. What's he got left – stem-cell research?
Let Me Emphasize what Kerry said at the Grand Canyon...
"Last week at the Grand Canyon, Kerry said he would have "voted to give the president the authority to go to war" even if he had known there were no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction – Bush's original justification for war on Iraq."
interseting read when an 84 yr old pissed off at the world reporter can spot Kerry's a phony!!!!
