...about why he backed IWR, and his "I trusted Bush, I was wrong" is just one of them.

A week after he made that statement in Will Pitt's hearing, Saddam was captured, and Kerry was quick to jump in on the side of the "winners," criticizing those who opposed the war.

A couple of months before that, he was holding up the Iraq invasion as a model for how we have to use our military might to remake the world in our own image.

Generally speaking, when the war has seemed to be going well, Kerry has basked in his role as "conquerer of the Butcher of Baghdad." When we seem to be in a quagmire, he's the first to complain about how Bush misled him into voting for the war.

The fact is, on Iraq as on many other issues, John Kerry sees no need to limit himself to only one viewpoint, when a variety of them, trotted out depending on the circumstance and audience, will help him seem "The Everything Candidate For Everybody." And, fine, it might succeed. But just watch out when TECFE actually becomes President and has to choose one side or the other....my suspicion is, depending how the winds of the polls are blowing, we're going to be very unhappy on where he comes down on matters that will affect us.
