Kerry documentary on the Web

Be sure to see the Kerry Iraq documentary, produced by the Republican National Committee, that shows Kerry’s amazing career of flips and flops on the Iraq issue over the months and years since September 11th, and over the ten years preceding September 11th as well. There are so many amazing things about it, but perhaps the most remarkable are Kerry’ statements in 1998 when he presented himself as being way ahead of the curve of public opinion in calling for the forcible removal of Hussein.

Why would the notoriously force-averse Kerry have taken this bellicose position? Here’s one guess. Big Bill was pres, and everyone knew he was going to do nothing serious about the Hussein problem. Sounding warlike during those cowardly Clinton years was a way for Kerry to assert himself and seem superior to others (a need that seems to be the central drive of his personality), without his actually having to be warlike. Isn’t that what his whole Vietnam veteran schtick is about, after all?
