Um, no. Not particularly
From Newsweek: Ninety Minutes Later, A New Race

"ON FLIP-FLOPPING
KERRY: ‘I wasn’t misleading when I said Saddam Hussein was a threat ... I’ve had one position, one consistent position, that Saddam Hussein was a threat. There was a right way to disarm him and a wrong way. And the president chose the wrong way.’

REALITY CHECK: The more Kerry says about Iraq, the harder it gets to filter out ‘one consistent position.’ In May ’03, it was ‘the right decision to disarm Saddam’; now it’s the ‘wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.’ Confused, anyone?"

No. I don't see the contradiction. It was the right decision to disarm Saddam. (2003) But there was a right way to disarm him and a wrong way. (2004)

Great googly moogly, it ain't that deep. Are these people actively dodging the point?!

1. Kerry needs to say it is hard for me to make an informed decision
when the justification for the war has changed so many times. George, when you finally decide on the reason, send us a memo and we will let you know.
