First off, I wasn't aware that Kerry, who made so much of his VVAW leadership, later broke off from them because they weren't "patriotic" enough, and formed another organization without the "...against the War" in its title.

Also, I note the following passage from Kerry's book, written last fall (just before his famous "Trial of John Kerry" luncheon):

I hope by the time you read this book that the UN has been usefully employed as a partner in the reconstruction of Iraq and that Jacque Chirac has ceased his foolish rebellion against the very idea of the Atlantic Alliance. America, which has always shown magnanimity in victory, should in turn meet repentant Europeans halfway...

:wtf:

Funny...I don't hear any of the latter event's "I didn't support the war, only pressure to force inspections," or "I was misled by the President," or "I trusted the President. I'm sorry." Instead, it seems to be saying that international opponents of the war were "foolish" and now need to be "repentant." Which is it, John? Is there any issue you won't try to be firmly on both sides of? And is there any audience for whom your policy isn't "tell 'em what they want to hear?"
