As far as not being anti-war enough, being against the Iraq war, doesn't mean being anti-war. I mean the Iraq war was really really poorly implemented, lets not forget based on lies and mistakes.

And of course I'd prefer an pro-war but anti-Iraq war admin over any of the alternatives that were available to us in the election.
