And you are twisted words beyond their recognition. Kerry's support for authorization wasn't conditional. His support for a war was. If Saddam Hussein had converted to Christianity and free trade and thrown his borders open to Southern Baptists and Wall Street Journal vendors, there isn't a Senator who would have supported a war, but not one of them voted to limit the authorization accordingly.

The distinction you draw is exactly why I said that someone should force him to answer the question of what he would have done had he been president. I suspect he has been asked this before, and has answered by saying he authorized the war as a Senator. Take a stand flipper, take a stand.
