Kerry is trying to have it both ways on Iraq, as he did with Kuwait 13 years ago. Here are direct quotes from a pair of letters Kerry wrote to a constituent:

> Jan. 22, 1991: "Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition . . .
> to the early use of military force by the US against Iraq. I share your
> concerns. On January 11, I voted in favor of a resolution that would have
> insisted that economic sanctions be given more time to work and against a
> resolution giving the president the immediate authority to go to war."

> Jan. 31, 1991: "Thank you very much for contacting me to express your
> support for the actions of President Bush in response to the Iraqi invasion
> of Kuwait. From the outset of the invasion, I have strongly and
> unequivocally supported President Bush's response to the crisis and the
> policy goals he has established with our military deployment in the Persian
> Gulf."

"It's like those before-and-after pictures they print in the papers," said Senator John Heinz. "If they didn't tell you so themselves, you'd think they were different people." Two weeks later, Heinz would die in a plane crash. Four years after that, Kerry would marry his widow.
