Kerry said last night he voted for NAFTA...

...but that there were all these sidebar provisions that made it OK. Then he said that the Bush administration* ignored the intent of the act, or something like that, because they implemented it in a way different than the spirit of the thing.

Bearing in mind how little I understand NAFTA, could someone in the Kerry camp (or really anyone who "gets it") explain? How could a politician with decades of experience vote for something that had language in it that would allow the Republicans to implement it the way he had to know they would want to?
