Former Senator Bob Kerrey expressed optimism about the war in Iraq and said that things were "going well." A bit of sunny optimism from a Democrat regarding the war in Iraq, who would've thunk it.
Here's the full quote from the New York Sun:
- SEN. BOB KERREY (D-NE): "I think [Iraq is] going well. It breaks my heart whenever anybody dies, but we liberated 25 million people who were living under a dictator. It puts us on the side of democracy in the Arab world. Twenty years from now, we'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who says it wasn't worth the effort. This is not just another democracy. This is a democracy in an Arab world ..." ("Kerrey On Iraq And The Democrats," The New York Sun, 12/29/03)
Good quote, yes? I apologize for not providing a link back to the original article, but, unfortunately, you must pay to view.

Thanks SO much for cathing that one. Big error on my part. If you could just see how red my face was. Anyway, thanks for catching this and after washing off the mud on my face I made the appropriate corrections.

That quote is from the other Vietnam era Kerrey, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, not John Kerry of Massachussets.
