Is Jesse Ventura anti-war?
I hear him cutting these ads on Air America radio for this Operation Truth outfit, which seems to lean anti-war if I'm not mistaken. It's one thing to ridicule Jesse the Body, but he still has a following in Minnesota, and exit polls in 2000 showed that most Ventura voters voted for Al Gore.

1. He is not anti war....
he is anti the Iraq war. He did an interview on High Def channel. Said he supported going into Afghanistan but was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.

5. Me, too.
I believe Jesse is against the Iraq war, but he was a total nutjob as governor.

6. i loved jesse as governor.
Got to say whatever he wanted, made the state legislature look like idiots, didnt pander to anyone. Especially loved when he made Norm Coleman look like the pandering uber stooge that he is when he lost the governorship. gooood times...good times....

7. I liked him as governor, too.
You've got to love a man who stands up for his beliefs & says what he means. :)

8. Can someone clarify?
Was he only against going into Iraq in the first place? Or is he simply critical of the way the war is being fought? Or is he both critical of the reason for war and the way it's being conducted?
