The Prince of Tides, Tacking and Attacking

"As I quoted a girlfriend saying in September 2002, a month before Mr. Kerry's authorization vote, 'Bush is like the guy who reserves a hotel room and asks you to the prom.'

When Mr. Kerry says it was the way the president went about challenging Saddam that was wrong, rather than the fact that he challenged Saddam, he's sidestepping the central moral issue.

It was wrong for the president to take on Saddam as a response to 9/11, to pretend the dictator was a threat to our national security, to drum up a fake case on weapons and a faux link to Al Qaeda, and to divert our energy, emotions and mat�riel from the real enemy to an old enemy whose address we knew.

It was wrong to take Americans to war without telling them the truth about why we were doing it and what it would cost.

It wasn't the way W. did it. It was what he did."
