9. Just a few I stumbled upon, don't know if you'll like:
My personal favorite quote of Kerry's: "I know this dilemma firsthand. I saw firsthand what happens when pride or arrogance take over from rational decision-making. And after serving in a war, I returned home to offer my own personal views of dissent. I did so because I believed strongly that we owed it to those risking their lives to speak truth to power. And we still do."

"The president claims it is the centerpiece of his war on terror. In fact, Iraq was a profound diversion from that war and the battle against our greatest enemy."

"Now, I will say to you, it is never easy to discuss what has gone wrong while our troops are in constant danger. But it is essential if you want to correct the course and do what's right for those troops, instead of repeating the same old mistakes over and over again."

"The president now admits to miscalculations in Iraq. Miscalculations: This is one of the greatest underestimates in recent American history."

"His miscalculations were not the equivalent of accounting errors. They were colossal failures of judgment, and judgment is what we look for a president."
