The vice president had this to say yesterday on Fox News on Sen. Kerry's latest position on the Iraq War:

I guess I'm not surprised at John Kerry switching his position yet again. ... He did in fact support our efforts in Iraq initially. He says he voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it. Now I suppose this is sort of a complete 180-degree turn that he'd started during the last campaign. The fact of the matter is they're making the charge, Kerry is now, that somehow he was misled. He wasn't misled. He saw the same intelligence all the rest of us saw.

His comment reminded me of Kerry’s lecturing of President Bush during the 2004 campaign. Kerry lavished praise on Bush’s father for putting a UN-backed coalition together to kick Saddam out of Kuwait. But he never mentioned his vote against the 1990 Senate resolution authorizing force against Saddam. Guess it didn't pass his “global test” of legitimacy.
