John Kerry, hiking in the Grand Canyon to show his dedication to the environment, has just completed the evisceration of his position on Iraq, telling reporters that he would vote the same way today as he did on October 10, 2002, when Congress authorized Bush's war on Iraq.
Kerry justified this statement by saying, "I believe it's the right authority for a president to have." This can only mean that he believes the president should have the authority to go to war on his own say-so, without needing Congressional approval. Of course, it's equally likely that Kerry is simply continuing the stunning illogic that marks his campaign statements.
...So far, Kerry has been campaigning on the idea that he will do the occupation better -- more allies, more allies, possibly more allies. Now, he seems only a step away from claiming that had he been present when the US went to war on Iraq, Iraq would have had WMD.
