Accused of flip-flopping on the war in Iraq, Kerry defends his force-authorizing vote by claiming that he voted to threaten force rather than to actually use it. But the fact is that in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on May 4, 2003, after Saddam Hussein had been disarmed, Kerry clearly said, “I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support that fact that we did disarm him.” In direct contradiction to his most recent...
