Kerry Now and Then

Authored by Michael Pate on September 24th, 2004 at 4:28 PM

This is what he said today.

The invasion of Iraq was a profound diversion from the battle against our greatest enemy, al-Qaida. There’s just no question about it. The president’s misjudgment, miscalculation and mismanagement of the war in Iraq all make the war on terror harder to win. - John Kerry

This is what he said earlier in the week.

Saddam was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell. But that was not — that was not — in itself a reason to go to war. The satisfaction that we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure. - John Kerry

This is what he said in 1997.

We know we can’t count on the French. We know we can’t count on the Russians. We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it’s in our national interest. - John Kerry

I wonder just exactly when he would ever feel anything was in our national interest?
