16. Kerry recently proved that he lied about his vote on the IWR

after "apologizing" in that little meeting that included Eric Alterman, he then began volunteering his vote after Saddam was captured. He was only sorry that the vote for war did not help him politically. When it was politically convenient, he was then happy to volunteer that he had voted for the IWR, since it led to Saddam's capture.

Kerry's position can be stated in this way. I am for everything that went right in Iraq, and against everything that went wrong.

To quote alterman.....

Yes, to those of you who asked, I am feeling that Senator Kerry did saw off that limb onto which I had climbed for him vis-à-vis his vote for the war when he started bragging about it after Saddam's capture. The ultimate lesson here, I guess, comes from my old friend and mentor Izzy Stone. "Don't trust any politician. Period."
