and it's still about leadership, read on

Kerry's Broken Promise on the War by John C. Bonifaz

Senator John F. Kerry is right to charge the president with “changing his story” about his justifications for the Iraq war. But George W. Bush is not the only Washington politician who has changed his story. So, too, has Senator Kerry.

Senator Kerry claims today that he voted for the October 2002 congressional resolution on the Iraq war based on a promise made by the president...

But Senator Kerry has not revealed what he himself promised on the floor of the United States Senate when he announced his support ...

Senator Kerry broke that promise he made to the American people...

... as he claims the qualities of leadership to be the next president of the United States, Senator Kerry should be held accountable for the failure to honor the commitment he made when he voted for the October Resolution.

... Like so many of his colleagues in Congress, Senator Kerry remained on the sidelines as the president marched the nation into this reckless war. And, because of that, the senator shares today the burden of responsibility for its consequences.

1. Apparently John C. Bonifaz doesn't understand
That the very misguided and stupid "October Resolution" was not a congressional declaration of war against Iraq. So, this article and it's author are bullshit.
