9. I hope so, but in this case - Kerry's vote is irrelevent

He has repeatedly said it was wrong -- and it is Netanyahu's comment that is pertinent now as the Republicans are pushing him as the most expert voice there is --- on negotiations he is not even part of!

It is galling that Kerry is accused of being "for" the war -- and that is a consequence of his vote. However, it was clearly obvious in 2004 that he was against the war --- how many times did he speak of "misleading us to war" and "wrong war"?

Those on the right arguing otherwise, are just trying to play a gotcha game to distract from the main point - Netanyahu is not known for pushing diplomacy -- anywhere at any time.
