In Senate race, Schaffer jabs at Salazar on Iraq war views

[Freddie Stubbs]

Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer on Monday accused Democratic rival Ken Salazar of flip-flopping in his support for the war in Iraq.

Speaking before the Larimer County Republican Breakfast Club, former Fort Collins congressman Schaffer said he remains supportive of the war effort and called the United States "far safer" with Saddam Hussein removed from power.

Salazar has long supported the invasion, but the Colorado attorney general reportedly now says he would have withheld that support had he known about holes in U.S. intelligence.

Forecasted stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction have yet to be found in Iraq, and the insurgency has been stronger than some in the Bush administration and Congress expected.

1. It Takes a Big Man To Admit He Was Wrong

Bob Schaffer, on the other hand, is a small, small man......

2. As is Pete Coors.

They still think that Iraq has weapons that are hidden and it means nothing that nobody ever found them. It is so hard to argue with stupidity.

3. I'm still looking for a pre-invasion quote from Salazar

...saying he supports the war. I'm not saying it's not out there, I just haven't found it yet. :shrug:
