| If Kerry 'had way,' Bush says, Hussein would be in power | |
| 2004-09-11 | |
| Campaigning with his highest-profile Democratic supporter, President Bush yesterday declared that Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Iraq if Democratic candidate John F. Kerry ''had his way." ''When it comes to Iraq, my opponent has had more different positions than all his colleagues in the Senate combined," Bush said at a rally for supporters in Huntington, W.Va., with Senator Zell Miller of Georgia at his side. ''One thing about Senator Kerry's position is clear: If he had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power, and would still be a threat to the security and to the world." The Kerry campaign disputed that. Last month, Kerry said he would still have voted to hold the Iraqi leader accountable even if he had known that weapon stockpiles wouldn't be found, though he said he would have invaded only with ''a plan to win the peace."
