If his plan all along was to go to war, and he told everyone he would only go to war as a last resort, then he lied, plain and simple If you say, "I will go to war only as a last resort," and you are 95% sure that nothing short of war will work, everything else having been tried already, is that a lie? IMO, it's frankly pretty childish to claim so, as are the claims, "but, but, he said it was a last resort! Bush lied!" If the Senators were really of the opinion that we should have just kept up the sanctions, and lived with the results if they failed (they were failing), and chance the results of having to pull back the no fly zones, and Iraqi intelligence doing some more technology transfer with Al Qaeda, then they could have said so. They were afraid of public opinion, and took the easy way out. They should act like men and women now. On the other hand, I do think Kerry, and every other Senator who voted for that resolution, were chumps to do so. But, as you yourself said, his statements throughout the campaign were consistent. Ok, we're agreed. His statements didn't make much sense, but they were consistent. This was the part I characterized before "as having the vague shape of a pretzel."
