Most spectacular was spokesman James Rubin's recent statement that a President Kerry "in all probability" would have gone to war against Saddam Hussein by now. Oh really? I thought Kerry's position was that he would have waited for U.N. inspectors to complete their process--which, we now know, would not have produced evidence of illegal arms--and that he would have gone to war only with a supple international coalition, which...
