The point is that he's currently presenting himself as against the war in every way, and that's clearly not how he really feels. He was one of the very first in the country who (way back in the 90's) was saying that Saddam was a major threat and had to be taken out, even if it meant ground troops.
He reinvented himself, because democrats want a presidential candidate who is against the war. The Kerry you see now is a fraud and a fake. He was not against the war until he started running for president.
Over the course of time perhaps, not over the course of hours or days.
Sorry, what Kerry is doing is called political expedience, and he is pandering to his political crowd. Many people that know him and have watched him campaign say that Kerry has the knack of saying to the crowd exactly what they want to hear, whether or not it is the way he truly feels about a position.
This is one of the things I hate about politics and politicians today.
Are you saying that everyone who was wrong about Iraq, has got a problem of some sort?
Iraq is the biggest blunder America has made in my lifetime and the worst part is: We haven't seen the worst of it yet.

I am sure when Kerry expressed these sentiments, he believed them.
Debateguy,
Can you honestly say
