In September of 2003, John Kerry had this to say about funding the Iraq war:

Asked if he would vote against the $87 billion if his amendment did not pass, Kerry said, "I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible."

Kerry argued that his amendment offered a way to do it properly, "but I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job."

In October of 2003, Kerry did exactly what he said he wouldn't - and voted against the $87 billion as a protest vote.

Not related (directly) to Kerry, but here's a whole bunch of antiwar protest photos from this last weekend.
