Sen. Jay Rockefeller on Iraq: 'My Vote Was Wrong'

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller regrets his vote to authorize a war against Iraq (news - web sites).

"If I had known then what I know now, I would have voted against it," Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said Friday. "I have admitted that my vote was wrong."

That surprises me that Kerry hasn't said that yet. I really wish he would.

4. It's alittle late, isn't it

MR. Rockefeller? If you would have done your homework you wouldn't be regretting your decision. Will this nightmare ever end? ;(

5. I thought Kerry did say that

not so clearly as Jay, but what about that "Rolling Stones" interview?
I'm asking because I never read the article.

Welcome Sen Rockefeller to the light/right side.

I believe in forgiveness. Why? Because it's democratic. Let the Pol Pot or Robespierre types wail away on idealogical purity. I say to be a true-believer in democracy one will always welcome transformation.

Kerry did make a statement see below
